5.00Brilliant time but was quite busy. Good demonstration and plenty of chocolate to try. Good value for money.
Interesting story but disappointing overall

3.00The museum was interesting, but this is not a premier attraction. The museum was very busy and crowded. We were provided with very old-fashioned audio equipment for the audio guide. The layout of the story was confusing at times. The demonstration at the end of the tour was satisfactory,but done without any enthusiasm. This was the most expensive tourist attraction that we visited during our 3 day trip. We would not return and would recommend other attractions above this one
Surprisingly boring chocolate museum

2.00This was a very expensive museum for what it offered. I would definitely skip if your child is 8 years old or younger - maybe below 13. It’s very dry and boring even for adults. There are cheaply made exhibits and recreations of actual things and a very very dry audio guide. Also the chocolate was old that was provided out and we didn’t realize we would miss the only interesting thing of the chocolate demo which was only hourly that day. Belgium has a lot more interesting options available - I would skip this one.
Disappointing experience

2.00Sadly I found this experience very disappointing. I thought it would inspire more of the passion of chocolate…for me showing me the teacups to drink chocolate did nothing. The free chocolate buttons were nice
A great experience

1.00Just horrible, except for the 14 euros of excessive entry. Strictly nothing interesting in this museum The height of all those who demonstrate super unpleasant chocolate I think she didn't want to work.
Interesting, informative, and delicious chocolate

5.00Really enjoyed the experience, even if it was very busy. Once you get the hang of the speakers it’s very straightforward. Loads of interesting information and the chocolate at the end is delicious
Better than I expected

4.00We only went here because we wanted to see the Lumina museum. We had to buy a dual ticket. However, it was an enjoyable walk through the several stories and different angles of chocolate history. Particularly interesting was the machinery that was exhibited to process chocolate. Lots of free samples if you want.
No one turned up and the...
