This place is much more than a chocolate shop. They have candy, souvenirs, gifts, and of course the world's largest chocolate fountain. They have a decent sized private parking lot. There is a photo op area just outside the parking lit that also has a picnic table to sit. There is also seating on the side and front of the factory.
The first thing that you will see when you walk in is the "World's Largest Chocolate Fountain". Try to resist the urge to dive in. The place is huge. There are a few photo ops, in addition to the fountain, available in the store.
They have t-shirts, seasonings, sauces, magnets, mugs, hats and everything in between. In the back is where you will find their chocolate goodness. You can get chocolate covered nuts, chocolate covered gummy bears, chocolate covered fruit, turtles, dark chocolate, gift baskets, milk chocolate and a huge Alaska chocolate bar. You can see the factory through the window behind the chocolate counter and the people working hard to make the candy. It is a long cry from Willy Wonka.
The chocolate is reasonably priced and tastes delicious. I bought some to take home. I just hope that it makes it.
You not only get some delicious chocolate you get an experience. The staff there is very friendly and they offer a military discount on you chocolate purchase. This is one of the few "tourist traps" or gimmick shops that I am all in for. This is a must visit when you are in Anchorage. You can also order your treats online, if you cant make it to Alaska and they do ship.
