Ethel M Chocolate Factory, Las Vegas Walking tour

Ethel M Chocolate factory
2 Cactus Garden Dr, Henderson, NV

Driving there, you do not see anything until you turn the final corner. The spectacular display just appears as you turn into the parking lot. And a glorious and welcome site it was a must see.
You go on a walking and view the entirely decorated 3 acres of cactus gardens. You are welcomed with your choice of milk or dark chocolate piece of candy to get your energy up for the viewing.
There are identifying signs for various cacti that you see along the one way path (again, for Covid). Amazing to see these long cactus spines sticking out from trunks wrapped in colored lights.. Different presentations as the cactus changed. Lights in trees, cascading like water, filling up and starting again. One section had displays of blue and green jewel colored lights turned into a family of peacocks. (See photo.) Lots to notice if you take the time to stop and look with eyes of wonder like I did.
You don't have to enter the candy shop at the end of the viewing, if you don't want to. But we did. Tremendous variety in milk or dark chocolate and also sugar free. I selected a macadamia nut, Bailey's Irish Cream and coconut delight choice, all in dark chocolate. They were eaten in the car on the way home ! I blew my calorie count for the day, but it was a wonderful way to top off a totally sensory experience.
Convenient to freeways, depending on the route you choose. Nighttime is early at this time of year, so lights are spectacular for viewing. Dress warm, take your time, look every which way for different views from behind of displays you already passed. Take it all in its very beautiful and a must see.
