Chicago Chocolate Tour

This self-guided walking tour in Chicago is made for travellers who love chocolate and want a flexible, last-minute adventure. Using the eATLAS app you will get a map and step-by-step directions to eight stops across the Loop and River North. You can start and pause the Adventure whenever it suits you, so you can explore at your own pace. Along the way you'll follow clues in a tour-style scavenger hunt, reading hints and solving answers at each location. The route highlights Chicago’s long role in chocolate history — the city was once called the “Candy Capital of the World,” and Milton Hershey learned chocolate-making here at the 1893 World’s Fair. You will encounter references to famous treats that were invented or have been manufactured in Chicago, such as Tootsie Rolls, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, Snickers, 3 Musketeers and Milky Way. You won’t be required to buy anything during the tour, though you may choose to stop for a chocolate treat if you wish.
