Fun Facts

Ghirardelli Square was originally the site of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, founded in 1852, making it a sweet spot for history and chocolate lovers alike!

In 1965, Ghirardelli Square became one of the first successful adaptive reuse projects in the United States, preserving its historic charm while offering modern attractions.

Ghirardelli produces over 1 billion chocolate squares each year, enough to satisfy any sweet tooth!

There's a hidden tunnel beneath the square that was once used to transport chocolate from the factory to the shipping docks!

Every year, Ghirardelli Square hosts a chocolate festival where visitors can indulge in chocolate tastings, chef demonstrations, and more!
