If you love Goo Goo clusters you have to sign up for this experience. We learned the history of Goo Goo, and had the chance to make our own personalized Goo Goo. It was a blast and the entire experience lasted about 1 hour. I would recommend this activity!

A really fun experience. I took my 15 year old daughter and we had a fun time doing the chocolate making class. The staff were very friendly and energetic. Couldn't help but laugh at the cheesy jokes too. I would definitely recommend booking this experience

    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!

    Goo Goo Good!

    Judi_E, Sep 2026
    This was a fun way to spend a couple of hours. It is suitable for families with school aged children.

    Excuse to Eat Chocolate - Yum!

    Michael_J, Sep 2026
    I took my Sweet for her birthday. It was fun because she and I had agreed to never do a cooking class. But this was an especially fun surprise that broke that rule. She didn't see it coming and admitted that it was better than a cooking class.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Awww, thanks Michael! We are thrilled to hear that you both had a great time!

    Good time, worth it

    Angela, thanks for joining us and sharing what a good time you had! I may have heard some of those jokes a dozen times, but I still laugh too!

    Kali_M, Sep 2026
    My husband and I signed up for this last minute because we had some unexpected time to kill and thought why not? It was so fun! The employees are personable and the experience is unique; plus you get candy ;) We are now planning on doing it again next time we’re in town :)

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Sometimes spontaneous things turn out to be the best things, right!? Thanks for joining us and sharing what a great time you had!

    Fun candy making class

    LauraDay, Sep 2026
    Fun experience to do with your party. Brenna was a fun and experienced instructor. You meet a lot of interesting people.

    Sweet fun for all ages

    Micalah_M, Sep 2026
    We enjoyed the experience, Brenna was entertaining and informative. And who doesn’t love an activity where you get to eat chocolates as part of your experience.? we were traveling with both my mother-in-law who has limited mobility in her 70s and my teenager and all had a good time.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    We love when we hear from multi-generational families that everyone enjoyed the experience! We like to say that it's truly fun for everyone from 9-99 (and truth be told, even younger). Thanks for coming!

    Goo goo is a win!

    Craig_T, Sep 2026
    We had the best time making goo goo clusters and learning about the company and process. Good for all ages.

    Fun to do!

    Susan_H, Sep 2026
    We took our six-year-old granddaughter to do this and she loved it. The little video was interesting enough to keep her attention and the directions were super simple for her to follow to actually make the Candy. She loved watching the milk chocolate get poured. One of the few things in that area to do with young kids.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Susan, thanks so much for sharing! It's good to hear that the history video kept your 6 year old granddaughter's attention and that she was able to make it all on her own!

    Best experience!

    Ashley_C, Aug 2026
    We were the only one that booked at this time so we got a private class. The team was so good with our kids and the experience was so worth it!

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Lucky you to get a private class! That's a rarity, so I'm so glad you got to experience it. Happy to hear the kids had a good time!

    Not worth the price

    Jessica_S, Aug 2026
    Expensive. The people are great and alot of fun. Tou dont actually get to make chocolate. You get to stuff an already made chocolate shell.

    Thank you Brenna and Rayna! Goo Goos’s It’s a Cluster

    Denise_A, Aug 2026
    What an awesome experience! We had a BLAST!! Goo Goo’s was so much fun! Special SHOUT OUT to Brenna and Rayna!! Brenna ran our class and was just amazing and adorable! Rayna finished our Clusters and was so interactive and fun behind the glass! You two are fantastic! Thank you so much!

    Susan_H, Aug 2026
    Fun activity with a group or solo. You create your own Goo Goo cluster. You get chocolate but you choose milk, white, or dark and the rest. Great photo ops for memories of the fun.

    A wonderful time!

    NADIA_R, Aug 2026
    This experience was amazing overall. Rayna and Brenna were so much fun and made it a fun time. The tasting part was great too and making our own goo goo was the cherry on top. Highly recommend this for all ages!

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Nadia, thank you for sharing your experience! We are so happy to hear you had such an amazing time.

    Go get the Goo Goos!!!

    Kristi_W, Aug 2026
    This was such an entertaining and educational event. I never knew making a chocolate treat could be so nice. Rayna and Brenna were excellent guides for our time. They were bright, funny and made It easy. This was definitely something I would recommend to families with kids, adults on a date or just anyone who loves happiness and sweet treats!

    Goo goo time

    Tom_W, Aug 2026
    Best time learning to make a goo goo cluster. The instructor Maddy was very interactive with the people.

    So fun

    Amy_M, Aug 2026
    Such a fun couples activity in Nashville! Highly recommend! Our hosts, Maddy and Rachel were amazing. They were funny and helpful. It’s kinda a wholesome thing if you want a break from the craziness. Great activity for kids too!

    Good Family Experience

    allred, Jul 2026
    It was a good family experience. I went with my son and grandson. It was a little hard to understand the host. She talked really fast, but was very friendly and cheerful. Be warned that parking nearby cost us almost $34!

    Yum and fun!

    Deborah_D, Jul 2026
    I booked this for my mom’s birthday. What a hit! So much fun and a great value! Highly recommend for parents and kids.

    Fun activity to do solo,...

    Liz_Y, Jul 2026
    Fun activity to do solo, along with friends/family. You get a history lessons of Goo goo chocolate and make your own creation. The class has simple instructions and teachers are hands on if you need help or have questions

    Recommend!

    Roy_S, Jul 2026
    Great experience with history, very "cheesy" humor, and sweets! A unique experience in which you produce a personalized Goo Goo Cluster!

    Fun & Interactive

    Chelsie_C, Jul 2026
    Fun and interactive! Loved getting to try other flavors and creating your own! Such a good experience

    Fun time for all.

    Michael_M, Jul 2026
    It was nice. Good time and tasty. We had fun and will return. I need 40 more characters, so I will write more.

    A must do for families!

    Michelle_S, Jul 2026
    An absolute must try experience in Nashville for specially if you have family and young ones with you. The entire experience was fun, entertaining and also scrumptious. Highly encourage grabbing the family and doing the experience!

    Goo Goo tastic

    Really fun! Making a 1/2 pound Goo Goo was great and learning about the Goo Goo history was interesting too.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    This is a fun activity to do with family or friends. You can all be creative and invent a new candy.

    Herchel_P, Jul 2026
    Fun but touristy. Didn’t expect this, but to be fare I didn’t look at the location either. As a local, I probably would have skipped knowing that. Still fun though. Staff was great.

    Loved this! It was a last...

    Brianna_t, Jul 2026
    Loved this! It was a last minute decision of ours to book and I’m so glad we did. The team leading us through the process was funny, friendly, and helpful. Plus the chocolate was delicious!
