Chocolate Lovers a must to visit

A absolutely amazing place to visit, so peaceful, with wonderful aroma. A shop at the end of the tour with plenty to choose from. Definitely worth visiting.

Not our thing

We found this museum a bit boring. But for real chocolate lovers, this might be a 'must', but we found the price quite high and the route unclear at the beginning.

Operator response

Bedankt voor uw feedback. Jammer om te horen dat ons museum niet helemaal aan uw verwachtingen voldeed. Onze rondleiding volgt bewust een vaste eenrichtingsroute, zodat bezoekers de verschillende zalen in een logische volgorde kunnen ontdekken. We nemen uw opmerking over de bewegwijzering zeker mee. We begrijpen ook dat de beleving en de prijs voor iedere bezoeker anders worden ervaren. Ons museum richt zich vooral op de geschiedenis van cacao en chocolade, met historische objecten, interactieve elementen, een live demonstratie en chocoladedegustaties. Bedankt dat u de tijd nam om uw ervaring met ons te delen!

Disappointing don’t bother

The museum was a big disappointment for our entire family. Jam packed, you explore three floors by scanning a QR code with supplied device. You learn about chocolate from early to modern day Bruges. Love history but the presentation was boring. Demonstration at end was very short.

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear that your visit did not live up to your expectations. We understand that even when the subject is interesting, the way the story is presented can make a big difference, and we regret that you found the experience boring. Our museum uses audioguides to guide visitors through the different floors and tell the story of chocolate from its origins to the present day. We also have several interactive games and elements throughout the museum, particularly aimed at making the experience more engaging for families. Regarding the crowds, the museum can indeed be a little busier than usual during the summer holidays, weekends and rainy days, when many visitors choose indoor activities. We’re sorry this affected your experience. The praline demonstration at the end is intentionally a short live demonstration, followed by a tasting, although we understand that you may have been expecting a more extensive presentation. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take it seriously and will continue looking for ways to improve the experience for all our visitors. The Choco-Story Team

Fun and informative

Fab experience, perfect for kids and lots to see and do. The chocolate at end was a real hit!! Only thing is that many of the interactive activities weren’t working properly which the kids were disappointed about.

Very average, not to say disappointing.

Quite disappointed by this visit. There is an audio guide that ultimately tells quite little, just like the contents of the different rooms. How many truly original items are on display?? Positive points: the demonstration at the end and the activities for children. But in my opinion, for the price, skip to another museum. And I am generally quite lenient...

Operator response

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis. Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que votre visite n'a pas répondu à vos attentes. Choco-Story est avant tout un musée consacré à l'histoire et à l'évolution du chocolat, c'est pourquoi une grande partie de la visite est axée sur des explications et des objets historiques. L'audioguide permet toutefois à chacun d'avancer à son propre rythme et de choisir les parties qu'il souhaite écouter. Nous sommes heureux de lire que vous avez apprécié la démonstration du maître chocolatier ainsi que les animations destinées aux enfants. Concernant les objets exposés, notre collection rassemble des pièces historiques provenant de différentes époques et régions du monde afin d'illustrer l'évolution du chocolat au fil des siècles. Nous vous remercions pour votre retour, qui nous aide à continuer d'améliorer l'expérience de nos visiteurs. Nous espérons avoir l'occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau à l'avenir.

Great fun and very interesting

We did the chocolate workshop, which was great fun and we left loaded down with our own delicious chocolate. The museum was very interesting, telling the story of chocolate going from a religious drink in South America to the global food giant it is now and Belgium's part in it. Would definitely recommend.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a great time during the chocolate workshop and enjoyed taking home your own delicious creations. It is also lovely to know that you found the history of chocolate and Belgium’s important role in its development so interesting. Thank you for recommending Choco-Story Bruges, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! The Choco-Story Team
