Hot Chocolate ShowdownNon-Alcoholic Hot Chocolate

Warm up with Ballarat’s ultimate Hot Choc Showdown

Indulge your senses and take your pick from over 25 local venues that have stirred up their most decadent, creative, and comforting hot chocolates for you to discover. Don’t forget to enter the People’s Choice competition for your chance to WIN!


Warm up by the wood fire this winter and sip your way through a new range of deluxe hot chocolates, inspired by some of the Park’s most iconic animals. With views of free-roaming kangaroos and a spotted-tail quoll just outside the café, it’s the perfect cosy stop on your wild day out.

Croc-Mint
A mint-flavoured hot chocolate inspired by our five-metre super croc ‘Crunch’, topped with a crocodile image and peppermint crisp.

Devilishly Dark
A nod to their four Tasmanian devils with this dark hot chocolate topped with crushed raspberry candy. Rich, indulgent, and devilishly good.

Chocolate Tiger
Orange-flavoured hot chocolate with striking chocolate tiger stripes and a house-made candied orange dipped in rich chocolate – a tribute to Akasha and Kai, our Samaritan-Siberian tigers.
