Chocolate is certainly interesting. The exhibit leads you down a path of discovery as you wind your way through the history of chocolate. It was created by the Chicago Field Museum; but, frankly, there isn’t much in it for kids. The exhibit is mainly about reading the information contained on each panel. While there are artifacts illustrating each, some of the artifacts are reproductions and most are on the dry side for kids: Mayan chocolate stirrers, 18th-century china cups and early 20th-century advertisements. The best part may be the chocolate store at the end of the path that offers clothing, different kinds of chocolate (including chocolate pasta) and chocolate souvenirs.
