After hearing so many people say 'When you're in Hobart you have to visit the Cadbury factory' we just had to make the short drive out of town. If only it was just fuel and time we wasted. The visitor centre costs $7.50 per adult to get in which entitles you to $2 worth of chocolates and the privilege of... more

There was a 5 minute dvd and a bit of an info session at the beginning. Then we were taken to the factory shop. The prices weren't that much cheaper than supermarket prices. But I would recommend you go, just for the sake of going, you really will be glad you did. more

We were told over the phone there isn't a tour per-say and there was an enterance fee so there were no surprises.Were greeted like old friends and we couldn't fault the attention we were given. The gentleman who cued up the video gave very informative info prior and post and was willing to answer any questions.He then passed us over... more

I am not a fan of a factory tour that costs $17 and consists only of a 10-minute video presentation. Sure, it gets you into the store where the chocolate is deeply discounted, but still, isn't it a bit greedy to charge entrance for this PR when you know the people will be spending money in your factory store????? Pass... more

We were stopped before entering to an explanation of the actual tours do not happen but that for $17 for our family of six we would get a video presentation and a little talk on how the chocolate is made and entrance into the gift shop and the factory seconds and specials shop. Plus we would be given tastes and... more

This isn't a tour. This is a movie about the factory and a chance to buy some cheap chocolate. What an waste of time! more

I was looking forward to taking my son on this tour as I had done in 1982. Was I ever disappointed to the point of angry how this major corporation is deceptive in their offerrings. Ths is nothing more than attempt to get you to their factory so they can slog off their expired merchandise at discounted rates. It is... more

as one reviewer put it, no tour-no point. Whilst I was aware the actual factory tour had been stopped for health & safety reasons, I expected something similar to the tour of the Hershey's chocolate factory in Pennsylvania. While they don't go into the factory, there is a museum area and a ride through a factory setup which explains the... more

Cadbury in Hobart have now stopped tours of their factory. They have cited health as the reason which is their perogative. They do however continue to offer an "experience". What this entails is watching a short DVD, listening to a guide explain how many cocoa pods it takes to make a freddo and then you're ushered into the shop. Unfortunately... more
