All programs are the same.
Long before people began making and consuming solid chocolate, Mesoamerican civilizations utilized cocoa beans in several unique ways. Discover the origins of chocolate and the important role chocolate played in ancient Maya and Aztec societies. Try a chocolate drink similar to one the ancient Maya enjoyed, see what you can “buy” with a pod of cocoa beans, solve a hieroglyph puzzle and participate in other hands-on activities that explore these vibrant cultures. Plus, every participant will make a Mesoamerican inspired chocolate treat to take home and enjoy!
The program will last about an hour. The scavenger hunt takes about 45-60 minutes, so please plan on at least 90 minutes to two hours for the full experience.
