Some interesting bits but the crowds meant you couldn't see it all. Not very good for younger kids (ours were less than 9 years at the time). They don't take cards so your need cash to pay for entry and the nearest money machine (ATM) is some distance away. More

There is lots of information on the history of chocolate beans. They also have a lot of antique items on display. This museum is on 3 floors (maybe 4) so be prepared to walk stairs. More

This is well worth a visit. The story of chocolate is well told and you get to sample lovely chocolate at the end!! More

Perhaps we missed a section (though I did have a bit of a look) but there was not much on the history of chocolate, its growth, countries, pictures etc etc. What was good was to see the demonstration of filled chocolate making and getting to taste the results! More

The museum was very interesting with good explanations in English and interesting stories and artifacts. The chocolate-making demonstration was also interesting, but overall it didn't have any WOW-factor. The tasting was perfunctory on departure and there was no real incentive to stay longer than necessary. More

Location is good if you want to walk outside the busiest area; keep going out of the touristy ring and will enjoy the fantastic architecture. The museum itsself is ok, some interesting facts but personaly think they tried to overexpand the theme (as the fries museum that we did not visit). A littel bit expensive but still interesting. If you... More

You could learn all they tell you in minutes on a computer. The demonstration was very poor and short. They give you a chocolate at the end. More

We visited the museum purely because it was marked as 'Visit the Chocolate Obama' as a must do on our map and as we had Americans travelling with us we said it would be a laugh. The place was out the door with a school tour and the staff weren't friendly at all. Great if you wanted to know the... More

You can trace the history of chocolate making and the processes involved. Well arranged with small examples of rooms in Lego type form to show various things. These would appel to the children. as they weree always placed low down in the display case You finally finish off by seeing a display of the making some actual chocolates, and you... More
