The Chocolate Kingdom is the brainchild of Edgar and Bernie Schaked, co-owners of Schakolad Chocolate Factory, an European style chocolate shop with 25 stores nationally boasting recipes passed down three-generations. Schakolad Chocolate Factory was founded in Orlando, Florida. Edgar Schaked is also the owner and Producer of The Festival of Chocolate, the largest All-Chocolate event in the United States with events in Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale with continued expansion.

“The overwhelming success of The Festival of Chocolate and the continued support Schakolad Chocolate Factory confirmed that Chocolate Lovers are craving unique chocolate experiences,” says Edgar Schaked. “We wanted to create a permanent Chocolate Attraction where chocoholics of every age, gender, nationally and background could learn, experience, indulge their passion and enjoy a truly immersive chocolate adventure.”

The Chocolate Kingdom is open Sunday through Friday from 12pm – 8pm and Saturday from 12pm – 9pm. Tours begin at 1pm on the hour and run approximately 45 minutes featuring a Chocolate Tour Guide, Tastes and Interaction. Reservations are recommended.
