I particularly enjoyed...

James_M, Apr 2023

I particularly enjoyed the chocolate-making demonstration at the end of the visit. The chocolatier explained the process clearly and even provided samples of the finished product!

Best chocolate museum in the world!

Keith_C, Mar 2023

The chocolate factory is an amazing experience for both children and adults. It is so informative and interesting and you get to see a live demo of chocolate making at he end. So good

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for this amazing 5 star review. We are excited to see that you have had a fantastic time visiting our chocolate museum.

A fantastic experience .

Great Museum Tour

A Chocoholics Mecca

James_G, Apr 2022

Very good historical perspective on the history of chocolate - from its origins to modern day. Audio guide is very useful. Make sure to attend the live presentation at the end of the tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear James, thank you for this wondeful 4 star review. We are happy to see that you had a great time at Choco-Story.

Good for a rainy day

Jack_C, Nov 2021

Informative about the history and process of chocolate, but not so in detail about the link with Belgium. Not curated in the best way, but good chocolate demonstration at the end. Fine if it's raining, but not a priority visit.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for your nice review. There is no actual link with Belgium specifically, more with Europe as whole, except for the fact that we make the best chocolate. ;p That is explained on the third floor of the museum.

Two thumbs up

Aaron_H, Oct 2021

Excellent experience. Very interesting. Great samples at the end of the tour. Exhibits told a story.

Really nice experience for a family trip

Caio_P, Sept 2021

Friendly staff, the audio devices are easy to use really Nice experience for family with kids around 5 to 6 yrs old.

Fun afternoon in Bruges

Kathy_S, June 2019

8 of us were on a Baltic Sea cruise and chose to go to the Choco-story Museum in Bruges. We took the train from the pier to town and then grabbed a taxi. Very fun afternoon and lots of chocolate history to absorb. Would recommend

The price is too high

OnAir03108036199, June 2019

Count on great tasting chocolates, and were given 1 variety of chocolates to try. That's too bad. At the entrance give small milk chocolates - nice.

The trip to Choco Factory was really...

Inder K, Jan 2018

The trip to Choco Factory was really good and informative. But the chocolate shop was a bit of a disappointment, I expected more variety, also in terms of creativity.

Belle découverte

nancy_f, Mar 2023

Le musée est hyper interactif, on a adoré qu'on nous laisse le temps de la visite. La représentation a la fin est top. Tout était très clair.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Bonjour, merci pour les jolies comentaires. Nous sommes heureux que la visite du musée vous a plu.

Variétés des explications...

AnneMarie_J, Jan 2023

Variétés des explications et des objets. Votre collection de tasses, chocolatières et autres objets est impressionnante. J'aurais du visiter votre musée avant d'aller au Mexique .

Muy bien

Eugenia_B, Jan 2023

El chocolate a degustar y la zona del barco. La explicación de cómo realizan los bombones. Nada más que añadir

Passionnant à faire le même à Paris

CLAUDINE_G, Nov 2022

Très intéressant on apprends beaucoup de choses Les commentaires sont clairs Malgré le monde c’est accessible Le chocolat est très bon

Super visite

Aurelie_L, Nov 2022

Musée très sympa ludique qu’on peut faire à sa vitesse La visite s’est terminé par une démonstration et dégustation

Le chocolat dans tous ses états ou États 😉

Christian_D, Feb 2022

Belle découverte de l 'histoire du chocolat de la culture de l' arbre jusqu' aux produits finis sous toutes leurs formes, avec toutes les étapes, les origines... Très intéressant et avec une démonstration très bien présentée !!

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Bonjour et merci pour les 4 étoiles! Nous sommes très heureux de voir que la visite vous a plu.

Chocolade museum

Doriane_B, Nov 2021

Hadden meer een persoonlijke rondleiding verwacht. Dit was nogal onpersoonlijk. Maar we kregen wel veel informatie wat het wel de moeite maakte

À éviter

Dylan_G, Nov 2021

Un faux musée qui n'offre aucune expérience tout en abusant du nombre d'audio guides. Préférez aller boire où manger du chocolat dans les nombreux salons de thés de Bruges !

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Bonjour, Je suis désolé que vous n'aimiez pas le musée. Les audioguides sont là pour la commodité des visiteurs. Lors de la réservation de votre billet, vous pouvez également opter pour une expérience atelier ou une visite régulière.

Tiptop

David_D, Oct 2021

Heel mooie en educatieve ervaring. Deze review schrijven daarentegen valt dit tegen. Als ik na 1 zin niet gewoon kan bevestigen dan missen jullie toch gewoon veel positieve reviews van mensen die afhaken 🤷🏻‍♂️
