    This was our first time to Nashville and honestly I never heard of Goo Goo's Chocolates before researching things to do in Nashville. My husband loves Chocolates and I thought this would be a fun activity to do away from the bar scene. Our instructor, Rayna was a spitfire with tons of energy, humor and knowledge. She made the experience worth the money. We left knowing the history of GoGoo, 1/4 lb of our own made chocolate and some extra surprises. I would highly recommend this class, if you like chocolate and want a break from bars, this is your place!

    Parking Nightmare

    Tiffany_C, Jun 2026
    The experience itself is great but it is super expensive. Parking was $40 and they do not validate. Weighing the fun with the price, I would not do it again.

    Bachelor party excursion!

    Really fun and great to do w kids! Only an hour, so a good add in to be in air conditioning and break up the music/food attractions.

    Fun time for all!

    Ronen_A, Jun 2026

    Fun family experience in the heart of downtown Nashville experience. Lasts for about an hour so there is opportunity to do other things in the day.

    Goo Goo good!!

    Scott_B, Jun 2026
    Lots of fun, interesting and delicious facts. The class lasts a little more than 75 minutes but it flew by so quickly. Brenna and Maddy were both exceptional and fun. Hands down one of the best “tourist attractions” in Nashville.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    We're so happy to hear that you had fun with Brenna and Maddy!

    Fun class for all ages

    Judi_S, Jun 2026

    Goo Goo Review Family Affair

    Karl_S, May 2026
    The experience fun while educational and so well received by our group. We were celebrating a girls trip with our mother, daughter and granddaughters and this made the trip all that much more better. The Goo-Goo Clusters that we made were very delicious. Brenna, who ran the entire session made the experience so worth while.

    Candy Making

    Rose_J, May 2026
    The class started on time and we got step by step instructions about how to make an individual goo goo cluster with our choice of 3 different fillings for the middle. We were able to watch the chocolate toppings being put on and could take pictures of our finished goo goo cluster. There were 3 in our party and our clusters were very tasty. Thanks for the non peanut options!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Hi Rose, thanks for sharing your experience. We are so glad you had a good time!

    Delicious activity

    Fun family activity

    Kari_K, Apr 2026
    A fun experience. Our kids loved picking out their own ingredients! The staff was helpful and learning the history of the candy was interesting.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hi Kari, thanks for visiting and for letting us know the kids had a great time!

    Must do in Nashville

    Crystal_D, Apr 2026
    This is a great experience for young and old. It takes about 90 minutes. Get reservations ahead of time. Must do in Nashville!

    Awesome experience

    Joni_S, Mar 2026
    The experience was very fun! We very much enjoyed learning some of the history of the GOO GOO candy. Making our own cluster was amazing! The only thing I would suggest doing differently is including all four varieties in the tasting in the beginning, especially since chocolate tasting is mentioned in the description of the class. The original is of course a favorite but we would have loved to have a small sample of all four. Otherwise, an awesome class with an awesome host and hostess!

    Not for adults

    Aubrey_M, Mar 2026
    This was primarily for children not adults and unable to cancel upon arrival and noticing this and left

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Goo Goo Candy

    Donna_C, Mar 2026
    The activity was informative and fun. Rayna and the other helper were great! Truthfully the workers behind the scene looked like the unhappiest people-( like they do not enjoy their job) as we all watched behind the glass

    We had a great time!

    Alisha_D, Mar 2026
    So much fun! The candy you make is also so delicious! The people in charge of the class were so nice.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thanks Alisha! Love that you enjoyed your candy and the class!

    Annie_C, Mar 2026
    Brenna and Mary were great! We went for my birthday and we got a few extra goodies because of that!! We would definitely go back to make another custom goo goo!

    New Goo goo fan

    Jenelle_T, Mar 2026
    You get a history of Goo Goo and a really fun candy making experience. Site is smaller than we realized, so you aren’t really walking as much as we anticipated. Your personalized 1/4 lb chocolate, a cute apron, and other chocolate samples included in your experience as well as coupons for a store discount at the end.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi Jenelle, we're so happy to hear that you had fun in the chocolate class and have become a new Goo Goo fan! Hope to have you back again one day!

    Rayna provided a wonderful experience. it was a lot of fun.

    Marisa_R, Mar 2026
    it is as described. you have to sit on stools so if you have back problems be advised. well worth the money.

    Fun activity with the family!

    Stephany_M, Mar 2026
    Super fun activity! We will definitely be taking more family when they come to visit! Products are delicious!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Happy to hear you had fun! Can't wait for you to come back and enjoy with other family members!
