It was our Mother's Day tradition to go to Lititz...which always included a stop at Wilbur. When our kids were small, we would go down the road to Staufer's of Kissel Hill (a large store that sells groceries, amish treats, plants, crafts, and has a fun hot food bar) buy food from the hot bar and take it to the...

I did read that it wasn't a factory tour, and I am glad they didn't charge, because the chocolate store with a bunch of antiques in it and some ladies filling chocolate molds in the back doesn't seem like much of a museum or a factory tour to me. We did buy some chocolate, and it was very good.

A small chocolate factory, Wilbur Chocolate is located in the cute town of Lilitz which is a must see in and of itself. Not too much to see inside the factory as it is mostly a store selling Wilbur Chocolate, the store also has a part in the back where you can see people preparing some of the chocolatey snacks...

It's just a big store hawking their products. We didn't even consider paying to tour the factory. No real attraction except for watching kids beg their parents. We didn't think the chocolate was as good as Hershey's. We question the judgement of our friends, who said it was a "must-see."

Nice quick little trip to a quaint PA town...The smell of chocolate when you enter the Wilbur store/museum hits you and starts the taste buds wanting some Wilbur buds!! The 2 grandsons (5 /12) loved the things that Wilbur does with their chocolate--tools/cars/toys--really neat novelity items...Although we missed the bus that was there when we rolled into Lititz, the store...

If you have a desire for chocolate - this place will fill all your needs. Pretty crowded if it is around a holiday that focuses on candy. We were there near Easter so it was pretty packed. Very good chocolate.

Historic old chocolate store / factory / museum located in historic (and very touristy) Lititz. Stopped here before Easter; it was extremely crowded, but still a cute place. You can absolutely smell the chocolate as you walk by. Free samples of the chocolate buds - sort of like a Hershey kiss in size and shape - but supposedly the buds... More

Our visit to Wilbur Chocolates was the day before Easter---prob not a good idea! Our visit was good considering the crowd! and the Easter Bunny showed up in FULL costume which added to the confusion! The sales floor area is crowded and small---was very neat seeing chocolate covered pretzels being made and hand dipped as we were there. Fudge and... More

And I knew that, but the lady tried to tell me that they never made white chocolate wilbur buds, and I had to tell her that in the early 90's they did. Because I used to by some on a weekly basis.
