Step into the imaginative world of the Dotty Wampus Magical Chocolate Factory—a delightfully quirky attraction just outside Cortez, Colorado, near Mesa Verde National Park. This whimsical tour blends magic, science, storytelling, and, of course, chocolate.

This intimate, highly-rated tour invites 8–10 guests at a time to explore a whimsical cottage filled with unexpected wonders. You’ll encounter everything from animatronic birds and magic tricks to STEM-based exhibits and rich stories about the history and making of chocolate.

Along the way, indulge in a tasting of handmade bon bons, truffles, and award-winning confections, and discover surprising inventions like a robotic clock that serves chocolate, an animated “caramel dispensing device,” fireworks, and even an AI-fueled bathroom.

Perfect for adults, teens, and kids alike, the Dotty Wampus experience is a must for anyone seeking something magical, delicious, and a little off-the-wall.
