This is great infotainment for the whole family. Though it calls itself a museum, a booking gets you a fabulously funny, informative, and interactive workshop. It is very hands-on, but not intimidating! There are English-language workshops at 14:00 each day, and the day I went, there were visitors from France, Belgium, Israel, and Germany. Apart from getting your hands (or fists) in the dough, and tasting the famous St. Martin's Croissant, there's even a prize if you guess the correct weight (which I did, by some fluke)!

We visited this museum as my son wanted to try the world famous croissant.
From booking and paying for our tickets at the entrance to the museum we didnt stop laughing.
The lady taking the bookings was great fun as was the chef we paid for ourvtickets and went in to the museum.
The chef took us through how we make the famous croissant and he got audience participation yeah you guessed it me my wife and brother in law were all picked from the crowd and had to put hats and aprons on and wait for our part of the croissant making process. I was asked to roll out the dough with the worlds smallest rolling pin. My brother in law was askes to pipe the filling in and my wife was asked to cut the croissant with a massive sword again very funny once the croissant is complete you get to taste ones the created earlier and you get a certificate to say your allowed to make the croissant.
Had a great laugh and would recommend a visit to this museum

I had no idea what to expect before coming here. It is definitely not your average museum. It is more like a presentation which is very entertaining and gets the group involved. You learn some local dialect, history and most important of all how to make a St. Martins croissant. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Poznan who wants a bit of a laugh.

This is not a museum! You will spend an hour in one room with another 50 people watching not indeed entertaining show of two performers who keep on making stupid jokes on other people's account or about other cities in Poland. You will not learn anything useful about making a croissant, not about Poznan's history. At the end you are given a tiny piece of their croissant. The whole experience is definitely not worthy the price. I highly do not recommend.

Having heard it was a Croissant “museum” I decided to make it my first stop during my day trip to Poznań. But when I got there and approached the ticket booth, I was immediately confronted by man who told me rather abruptly that it wasn’t “…an exhibition but rather an interactive experience,” and that “if you don’t understand Polish it would be totally pointless for you. We have English tours on weekends, come back then.”
I understand that there’s only certain days of the week the tour is in English. But why call it a museum when it clearly isn’t, and why be so rude when approached? I definitely won’t be returning.

It is not a museum in the traditional sense of the word. In fact, it is a kind of presentation conducted in the good old style in which the main roles are played by the people running this museum. They tell the stories of St Martin Croissants with a pinch of salt. Well, the humor, energy and commitment of the guys who run this show are beyond any imagination. Great show where you too are involved in the production of croissants. The place itself is great and a tourist attraction worth recommending.

Visited with my friend and we are still wandering why it’s called a museum?!?! (I am happy I am not the only one who thins so).
Doesn’t have nothing of a museum, it’s a theatre show that is held once a day.
It’s more for children then for adults.
Reservation is a MUST (don’t follow the guidelines on their site where it’s stated that is recommended).
We gave a friendly advice to the rude lady at the entrance that it would be nice to mention on the site that reservations are needed. She was very rude, unfriendly and even sarcastic. Traveling often I was extremely surprised by her behavior.
Croissants are delicious, no two ways about it. I advise you to use your money for croissants rather for this “museum”. ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was more of a show than anything else. Very informative and done really well. The two guys hosting were absolute jokes, full of little quips, great sense of humour and cultural awarenesss. I would almost describe it as a British sense of humour, some of the references seemed to go over the heads of everyone else in the room! We enjoyed it so much, we’ve already had a go at making our own St Martin croissants at home. Highly recommend.

Very entertaining tour. Two guys who were running the show were very funny. The tour allowed me to learn a little bit more about Polish, Poznan history and the local dialect. We also made Rogale Marcinskie and tried them afterwards. Well organised.

Top! Entertainment+ education. Interactive, smoothly run experience. Great views of town hall and goats. Movie well done. Tour guides amazing. English impeccable. Building clean, safe and staff friendly. Would recommend to all nationalities and generations. Polecam też pyrkom, inna perspektywa na koziołki, no i trochę dumy z naszego Poznania nas uczą, który kiedyś był zapyzialy, a teraz jest cool i przy tym swojski:)

Are there any hostels or groups that set up group English tours during the week? I won't be there on a weekend but this sounded fun!

I think it will the best if you email the place directly. Maybe they could join you to some other group? It is definitely worth of trying!

Hi. The focus of the event is to show you the history of this typical dessert, in a funny way.
During the show the just use the traditional recipe. Try or not the croissant (small piece) is up to you.
When the show ends Yo can go to the shop and buy. Maybe there they have a vegan option.

Hi,
Do they sell the Croissants to take home if you can't make an English show the day you are there?

Hello, usually we do sell croissants (please ask our staff upstairs). If we run out until you appear we will tell where to buy nearby. Kind regards, Croissant Museum Team
