Enjoyed by all ages - Wasn’t sure how the children - aged 14 and 11 would find the historic bits in it but they listened to every audio and really enjoyed the interactive activities. We all loved the demonstration and the chocolate.

Lovely for families - A lovely interactive museum with lots of facts and the audio guide was great. My children enjoyed scanning the numbers to find out more information, The chocolate sculptures were great. Was really interesting in the back story of chocolate better than Cadbury's world.

Enjoyable experiencd - We enjoyed learning about the history of chocolate. Our arms did get quite tired from holding the hearing devices to our ears, headphones would have been better.

Not worth your time or money. - This would receive a better rating if the price was 1/2 what it is. I’ve been to the tour in York, England and thought this might be like it. I also thought we would get to really see chocolate making in action. It wasn’t like the York one and I missed the demonstration and the gal wasn’t doing another for 30 minutes. Not worth the time or money. If you’re ever in York, I highly recommend the chocolate tour there.

Steer away - Expensive and uninteresting, would probably have been much better with a factual guide instead of the small audio "players", not something for children either

Not worth it - Rubbish. It was a couple of rooms and a video animation that didn’t address any of the issues of ethical chocolate harvesting. There was some free chocolate and some interesting sculptures including Michelangelo’s sculpture. There was a photo that you got emailed to you with a choccie background. Quite interactive. I wouldn’t bother.
