A Sweet Spot for Kids’ Parties

When it comes to kids’ parties, there’s nothing quite like the magic of chocolate! At the Darrell Lea Chocolate Experience Store, we offer a hands-on experience where children can get creative with chocolate. From decorating their own chocolate bars to enjoying a chocolate gift basket filled with sweet treats, our activities are designed to entertain and engage kids of all ages.

Our party packages include chocolate-making demos, where kids can watch how their favourite treats are made, and then create their own masterpieces with guidance from our expert chocolatiers. Kids love the fun and interactive chocolate-tasting experience, where they can try different varieties of Darrell Lea chocolates, from rich dark to creamy milk. After the fun, each child can take home a chocolate gift box or a DIY hamper filled with their creations.

Perfect for Small Social Groups

Not just for kids, the Darrell Lea Chocolate Experience Store is also an ideal location for small social groups looking to catch up over something sweet. Whether you’re part of a walking group, a Rotary Club, Probus members, or a Mums Group, our store offers a relaxed and enjoyable environment to socialise, unwind, and create lasting memories.

Our venue is perfect for intimate gatherings, providing a space for everyone to enjoy delicious chocolate treats, engage in fun activities, and even share their love for Australian gifts.
