Anyone with a serious sweet tooth that tends toward the chocolate side of the spectrum will appreciate Choco-story. Run by renowned New York-based chocolatier Jacques Torres, Choco-story is a museum devoted to the history and development of chocolate — with ample opportunity to taste aspects of that history throughout.

The Choco-story museum is spread out over a 5,000 square foot plan, and visitors are encouraged to walk through and experience every part of it. It includes original [chocolate-making artifacts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-chocolate-worlds), nine "[premium tastings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-coffee-tasting)," an authentic Mayan hot chocolate recipe, and a [bonbon-making demonstration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storefront-in-santa-barbara). Designed to be educational, the museum is perfectly suitable for young children and families — but adult chocolate-lovers are sure to get just as much of a thrill out of the experience.
