It’s not the chocolate shop of old, but a new visitors’ centre is opening up at 1 Hershey Drive in Smiths Falls this weekend.
Cannabis company Tweed Inc. says the visitors’ centre used to attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to Smiths Falls every year, and was a major contributor to the local economy.
Tweed thinks it is “at least half as interesting as chocolate” and they’re hopeful the new centre will welcome a new generation of tourists to Smiths Falls.
Tweed says the centre will “bring guests on a journey that boasts larger than life exhibits that educate about the art, culture, science and history surrounding the cannabis plant.”
However, unlike the old Hershey plant’s visitors’ centre, you’ll need to be at least 19 years old to visit this one.
The centre will open to the public Saturday, August 25.
