5.00We did not expect much from this museum; what is there to say about French fries? Instead, we stayed for two hours, but it could have been many more given how much there was to see. Interactive museum, great for my 3-year-old, but also for adults, with many things to listen to with an audio guide (included in the ticket price and in several languages) and to touch/try out. In the end, they give you a portion of fries with unlimited sauce refills to eat inside the museum. They say small portion, but I would say it is quite generous for us. There was no crowd; it was a Tuesday during lunchtime, and we were practically the only visitors, but that was better for us.
A must-see!

5.00Do not be fooled by the somewhat "touristy" appearance of the entrance: this museum is a gem!! You will truly learn everything about the history of fries and their ingredient, the potato, thanks to impressive collections (objects, decorations, tools) and short, educational, and fun explanations, where the audio guide also allows you to play several small games. Plenty of well-executed ideas! And the tasting to finish is really great: the cone of fries cooked in vegetable or beef fat, your choice, is the final touch, offered by a very friendly guide. Great experience, I really recommend it.
Fabulous museum on French fries
