Very well-made museum. The audio guide is very comprehensive and the visit is interesting.
We’re delighted you and your family enjoyed the interactive side of our museum. The live chocolate-making demonstrations are always a highlight, and it’s wonderful to hear they added value to your visit. The museum is indeed designed to engage visitors of all ages, with hands-on elements that bring the history of chocolate to life. The Choco-Story Team
Thanks to the many stairs (elevator available) a separate and very nice experience. Interesting facts, fun decor and clear information made the visit a memorable memory. Especially the smooth and sparkling bilingual demonstration (Spanish and Dutch) was a real pleasure. Bravo!
We had a very nice visit to the chocolate museum. The exhibition is informative, varied, and really fun. We especially recommend the interactive games, where you can collect points and even become the daily winner – this adds extra motivation and entertainment. The audio guide in German was clear, well-structured, and provided many interesting background details. A real highlight for us was the chocolate tasting, especially the Ambar variety, which we particularly enjoyed. We also found the praline presentation with live explanation and subsequent tasting very successful. A small point of criticism: The shop seemed a bit too small to us, and the selection could be larger. There is certainly still potential for improvement. Overall, we can definitely recommend the visit – a great experience for all chocolate lovers and the curious.
This is definitely for younger kids. Not great for adults. The best part was the very end where they did a very short demonstration. And tasting.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the museum did not fully meet your expectations. While we do offer interactive elements and activities that are enjoyed by younger visitors, our exhibition is designed to appeal to all ages by combining the history of chocolate, cultural information, demonstrations, and tastings. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the chocolate demonstration and tasting experience. Your comments are valuable to us and will help us continue improving the experience for all our visitors.

History of chocolate, demonstration workshop, and tasting.
Bonjour, Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que votre visite a correspondu à vos attentes et que vous avez apprécié la découverte de l'histoire du chocolat, la démonstration ainsi que la dégustation. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau prochainement pour une nouvelle expérience gourmande chez Choco-Story. L’équipe de Choco-Story
We weren’t sure what to expect so we had no expectations. This beginning of the tour was a bit bland and somewhat dull and basic but stick with it - it gets better as it goes on. Chocolate does have a wild history. It was cool to get the in person demonstration as well. Overall it was a nice display and attraction.
We’re glad you found the later parts of the visit more engaging and that the demonstration added a special touch to your experience. The history of chocolate is indeed full of surprising twists, and we’re pleased it came to life for you as the tour progressed. The museum spans four floors and we always aim to build the story step by step. Sometimes the most fascinating details reveal themselves a little later. Your feedback helps us see where we can make those early moments just as captivating. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The Choco-Story Team
