We had fun looking at the exhibits here, all about chaocolate, which is so important in this city. And we enjoyed some chocolate treats here as well. Nice to support a place devoted to one of the reasons why we love to visit Belgium, the great chocolates.

Amazing 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 All you can eat chocolaye, need I say more? My favourite museum by far and that's saying a lot! I work in museums so expect a lot of fun and value. Loads for kids but also adults to explore and see There is a game feature in each room along with learning all about chocolate Highly recommend and can't wait to go back

The rudest member of staff I have ever encountered!!! Family of 4 - 2 adults, 1 toddler & 1 baby. They won’t allow you to take the pram in which is fine but they also won’t allow you to take your bag in so we have to leave all the baby stuff at the entrance where everyone walks past. It was a waste of $52 for a boring walk round & incredibly rude staff with no customer service skills. Don’t bother visiting as it’s a waste of time.

We did not pre-book our tickets for the Choco Story but the wait on a very wet weekend in early January was not long. They offer pre-booking and package deals if you are also planning on visiting some of the other museums in Bruges. They looked like good value, but wouldn't have worked for us with the short amount of time we were in town. The Choco Story is a self guided tour which takes approximately 90 minutes; there are some fixed information boards around the museum but most information comes from the handheld audio guides that you swipe at various points around the exhibits. Language-wise you can choose Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. In English, and I imagine at least Dutch and French too, they had an adult and a child audio version which works well for families. The range of exhibits was interesting, focussing on the history of chocolate, both worldwide and in Belgium. There are interactive games in some of the rooms, and a silly photo spot at the end which our daughter thought was great fun. We all enjoyed the self-serve samples at the end, and the demonstration was interesting too. Overall, an excellent way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day and a very well thought out museum that caters well to a linguistically diverse audience. We had a great time.

Pre-booking is essential in our opinion. We pre booked and waited 10 minutes for the doors to be reopened by the staff due to overcrowding in the museum. The queue for general admission was very long and i imagine they waited a long time for entry. The museum itself was quite small and compact and got slightly cramped at times. The audio guide to scan at various points during the museum allowed you to take the tour at your own pace. The praline demonstration was informative and enjoyable. Free chocolate buttons of various flavours were available.

Well organized and informative, if somewhat chaotic at times.great experience for children and good value for money.

Family of 5 with 3 kids14,12,10 bought tickets on the spot was relatively quiet. Really enjoyed the museum and kids were interested throughout. Nice blend of media to interact with and follows the story of chocolate to present day. Ending up with a demo of making pralines. Was much nicer and more engaging than I was expecting we stayed for about 2 hours in total. Well worth a little visit in our opinion

Staff were rude. All tours were full so they said we could book online for later that day. We stood out of the way as it was raining and logged on. We were just about to finish when a member of staff, quite aggressively said "you can do that outside, we have a group coming in". There was no-one else even near the building and because is that both myself and my partner thought "nope we aren't spending any money here, on her".

Visited here in September, lots of facts etc about chocolate obviously. Good for children! I went in on the day not sure of cheaper online. Don’t expect loads of chocolate freebies! There was a chocolate demonstration but wasn’t for another hour! Wouldn’t rush back

Pros: chocolate samples, demonstrations, lots to see. Cons: overpriced, slightly boring (maybe that’s because of how the information is presented - with your own handheld audio device), very busy, not accessible with lots of stairs. If you’re really interested in the history of chocolate then it’s worth a visit, if not don’t bother really. Just go and spend the €14 on some chocolate instead.

An interesting museum that as suggested takes you through the story of chocolate and its arrival in Europe. Well put together, although I think we were both happy to get to the end of the commentary, a bit of information overload!

Interesting museum with helpful staff, interactive displays, great demonstration at the end and plenty chocolate to try

A really interesting exhibition that talks you through the history of chocolate. Lots of antique chocolate related items on display are really interesting. The visual explanations about where chocolate comes from and how it’s made are good but would be even better if you could have seen this process in real life. Was good value for money and chocolate tasting of dark, milk, amber and white chocolate was a nice treat! We watched the 10 minute demo at the end and tasted a praline. Interesting but left wanting to understand the process more deeply.

Interesting facts about chocolate, my daughter was really into it, especially the tasting at the end was really appreciated 🍫

This is a challenging review to give... I'd give the museum 1 star and I'd give the chocolate workshop 5 stars... So If you go, make sure to pay the bit extra and do the workshop. Museum - Dated. You get small handheld info speakers. You are expected to scan all the displays and the very very very boring man (in English) describes what you are looking at. I've never heard someone talk for so long about teapots and their handles. - The scanner to get in didn't work until the 10th attempt. - There are game machines throughout for kids. Only two of them worked with our scanners. Considering the History Museum in Brugge is so good and interactive, Choco story really needs to go out and get some modern ideas on how to make their product more interesting. I usually love a museum but I even I found it difficult to stay interested. Watching one of the chocolate makers make chocolates was fun, and then after the tour we did the 1 hour workshop where we decorated our own, and it is a lot of chocolate you can decorate and keep. This was actually great value for money, for a place in Bruges.
