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.

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.

Very comprehensive on the history of chocolate. Only downside, some audio guide stations require going back. A must-visit!

5.00I would like to give this museum 10 stars... Done very well, the audio guide is in Italian, there are many interactive activities and games for children but above all an unparalleled tasting of white chocolate, milk 3 dark chocolate and a fantastic demonstration of how to prepare pralines with subsequent tasting... Absolutely recommended!
Brilliant ! Worth a visit

5.00We saved this for the very last morning of our trip before heading to the airport, and it was a phenomenal send-off. We’ve been to a few food museums, but Choco-Story Brussels really gets it right for families. It traces the history of chocolate from the Mayans to modern Belgian masters, but the real star is the live demonstration by the master chocolatier. Watching pralines being made right in front of us (and getting generous free samples!) was fantastic. They even set up a little treasure hunt for the kids to complete as we walked through the exhibits. A highly recommended, sweet experience for all ages.
Great museum with kids

5.00I recommend this great museum with audio guides to learn lots of things in a fun way. Suitable for children as they walk the museum independently. The tasting and final demonstration are a real plus.

4.00Loved the museum and self-guided tour. By the end, you will be very knowledgeable about chocolate! The gift shop was disappointing.
Very informative and well...
