What To Expect
Choco-story Brussels
A master chocolate-maker will prepare pralines right in front of you. Tasting chocolate is of course a part of the tour and there is a shop for those of you who want more! As the visitor walks through the different exhibition rooms, he can learn the history of this precious commodity, from its origins to its transformation as a finished product. Samples of chocolate can be tasted during the visit and you can watch a demonstration given by our master chocolate-maker. Visitors are free to wander around the museum on their own or accompanied by a guide. Choco-Story Brussels was created in May 2014 when the two families Van Belle and Van Lierde united their efforts for the continual promotion of quality Belgian chocolate by opening their excellent educational, gourmet and great fun museum to the public.

5.00Awesome historical education on the history of chocolate from South America to present day. Do not pass up the free samples

4.00We booked this as an escape from the sunshine and heat. We prebooked the 2pm slot. The email said go to the I have a ticket line which we did. However no one was at the desk and about 9 people just walked in and got tickets. Then we were all entering together which meant we were all on top of each other so had to rush a bit to get some space. They should time the groups a few minutes apart. Lots of unsupervised children - this is the parents fault not the museum but they were annoying. My 2 teenage children enjoyed it and so did I only for the overcrowding at the start and near the end
Schoolvisit!

5.00A great experience overall. A lot of history and you will learn a lot. The chocolate tasting is delicious. The short videos were informative. We came in at the end of the cooking demonstration but what we saw was cool, unfortunately he wasn't speaking English so we didn't know what he was saying.
Very interesting, recommended.

4.00Interesting museum where you immerse yourself in the history of Belgian chocolate. Everything with interactive multilingual audio guides with a mandatory route explained in a comprehensive and immersive way. Interesting, at the end of the tour, the demonstration by the master chocolatier who creates the famous filled pralines (which can be tasted, and are delicious).
Excellent well presented account of chocolate from prehistory to the present day

5.00Well laid out and imaginatively presented. Could be appreciated by young and old Lots of information available via audio guide, video, touch screen, static displays and demonstration - up to you how much you take in. Everything from early beginnings to the chocolate bar we know today. Starting with the pod growing on the tree all the stages in making the chocolate we buy and enjoy. Platform lifts made it possible for wheel chair users to see everything.
Great

4.00The history is very interesting and the presentation by the young lady on how to make the chocolates was very pleasant, very delicious. The only thing to improve is the interactive games that do not always work when activated with the radio.
Chocolate interlude.
