There’s quite a lot to see at Sweet Pete’s Downtown, from a dessert bar and wacky candies to chocolates made right here in Jacksonville. If you haven’t taken your kids to Sweet Pete’s you’re missing out on one of Jacksonville’s newest destinations. But there’s more to the multi-level candy store than just satisfying your sweet tooth–there’s also an opportunity to learn about candy-making, whether you want to learn on your own, are doing a bachelorette activity or want something to do with the little ones. See their online scheduler at sweetpetescandy.com under events>book now! for a drop down menu selection of what they have to offer, from hand-pulled lollipops to truffle classes and plenty of things geared for groups or kids.
