At a Glance

What is it?

The largest botanical cactus garden in the state and one of the biggest in the world featuring over four acres with more than 300 species both indigenous to the region and imported from other areas.

Where is it?

At the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory in Henderson, about 20-25 minutes from The Strip.

Is it worth the cost?

It’s free so yes!

Why should I go here?

Because you need an excuse to go to the factory tour that doesn’t involve you just wanting to eat free samples.

What else do I need to know?

During the holiday season they dress up the gardens with lights and other festive touches.

What’s the bottom line?

To heck with nature… there’s chocolate next door! But seriously, this is a very impressive facility that provides a unique opportunity to get close to nature.
