Parents say ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’ is anything but

(CNN) — It was anything but a world of pure imagination. It was actually more like a world of disappointment. “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” at an event space in Glasgow, Scotland was marketed as an immersive experience like “Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience.”it promised “optical marvels” and “extraordinary props.”

But attendees were let down by a sparsely decorated warehouse that didn’t match the ad. the event advertised chocolate fountains, performances by Oompa Loompas, and interactive experiences for $44 dollars. One father said kids received two jelly beans each and a quarter cup of lemonade and there was no chocolate.

It was scheduled for last Saturday and Sunday, but facing disappointed families, organizers canceled it Saturday afternoon.
