Cadbury World is a popular attraction in Birmingham for chocolate-lovers and one woman shared her experience of visiting the site as an adult with no children to see if it would still be worth it
Cadbury World is a chocolate lover’s dream as it offers visitors the opportunity to learn how the chocolate is made, enjoy a pot of melted chocolate and get some free Cadbury chocolate bars to take home with them. The site opened in Birmingham in 1990 and quickly became one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions.
Amber Taylor visited Cadbury World but wasn’t sure if it would be enjoyable without children. She posted her experience on TikTok and said: “There is a high possibility I’m going to be way too old for this but we’re going to give it a go anyway. We’re giving Cadbury World a go as adults so let’s see how it goes.”
The TikTok user was treated to three free Cadbury chocolate bars when she arrived at the site and she chose Wispa, Dairy Milk and Dairy Milk Caramel.
She mentioned you can buy a purple Cadbury branded bag to put the treats in and it costs £1.50 for a small bag or £2.50 for a big one.
Amber added: “So when you go inside you go around a set route where you can see how chocolate was made years ago, all the old advertising and a few shows, but my favourite bit was this one where they give you a pot of melted chocolate and you can pick two toppings to put in it.”
The chocolate fan opted to have Oreo crumbs and white chocolate buttons in her pot and reported that it tasted “so good”.
She then showed the ‘have a go zone’ where you can do some chocolate drawings and try to temper some chocolate.
Next on the route was the 4D cinema experience, complete with motion seats, loud music and periods of darkness that Amber admitted was better than she expected.
The sweet treat lover continued: “There’s also this little ride that you can go on where you go around and shoot at screens to collect all the ingredients which did actually break up the route quite nicely.”
Other areas guests can visit are the cafe that has lots of different Cadbury food and drinks to enjoy, such as hot beverages, freak shakes and ice creams, an outside playground, interactive machines and photo opportunities with a green screen that can make you look like you’re surfing on a chocolate bar.
After taking some photos Amber headed to the gift shop and declared that those who love chocolate will be “in for a treat”.
She went straight to the chocolate section, skipping past the souvenirs, after spotting that nearly all the products were being sold at a discounted price.
Amber concluded: “So I was kind of worried this was just for kids but honestly, we had a great few hours out the house.”
Reflecting on her trip, she found that Cadbury World is “great” for a family day out or adults looking for something fun to do for a few hours.
Her TikTok video has garnered 327,100 views, 18,600 likes and more than 100 comments in two days.
One user said: “Been to Cadbury World twice as [a] kid, once when I was too small to remember it and once when I was a bit older (maybe 8/9) and seeing this has made me want to go back, looks really good.”
Another added: “Never too old for this! I went and it’s so worth going as an adult as you understand more!”
Standard tickets to visit Cadbury World start from £19 if you book in advance and the website states that pre-booking is essential.
