Seattle Food Tours and Delicious Destinations for Families

The bright colors and big machines at Seattle Chocolate’s Tukwila factory give it an especially Wonka-esque feel, but the tour is a serious learning experience. From an elevated walkway, visitors learn the history of the company and are given a start-to-finish bird’s-eye view of the creation of the factory’s Pacific Northwest–inspired truffles and bars. As always, there are tasting samples involved. Note: Kids younger than 6 are not allowed on the tour. Tip: Check the calendar for seasonal special events.
