Such a fun experience! The chocolate-making session was hands-on, well-organized, and perfect for beginners. The instructor Rayna was friendly and knowledgeable, and the chocolate itself was amazing quality. I loved creating my own treats and taking them home. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable activity!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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
