TO DO ABSOLUTELY! - Visit of choco-story Brussels on Saturday 14 September with my goddaughter: great! Trip Tip, take the group workshop for 35 euros. It may seem expensive but you will have an hour to make chocolate creations with all the material provided and, you leave with all your creations! Frankly, we made 4 bags full of principals, 8 chocolate bars and a whole bunch of creations according to our imagination. In addition, we explain everything in English, French and Dutch! Afterwards, you can take a tour of the museum which closes with a demonstration of praline making. It's TOP!! The icing on the cake, the animators-chocolatiers are super nice!

Random number sequence related to audio guide - A comprehensive museum about chocolate that took a few hours to go round. The audio guide was good but the item numbering was not always in order or obvious. We learnt a lot. Samples and demonstration were good.

A great place - A very well-made museum. The Audio Guide is very well done and we are not bored. There are games everywhere and you can see the result at the end. However, sometimes the screens work a little badly. We learn a lot in a very fun way and the children were not bored.

Short and Sweet - Nice, short and Sweet Interesting, easy and entertaining. No wow factor. The exhibition is a bit outdated, but it met my expectations. Fairly priced

Long-winded - In itself a nice idea but way too long-winded. The audio tour is all separate stories of 2-3 minutes, but there are 70 and that is just too much. That could be more varied. In short, not really recommended.

Chaotic and stuffy - You're given a radio device to hear commentary in your language. You have to tap it over each number to start the piece of info. These numbers soon go out of sequence (confusing) and you're always having to get past people to get to the next number. The place is stuffy. The demonstration at the end was excellent.

Don’t go on this tour - So boring, it was unbearable. You got a little phone thingy that could scan lil blocks for audio tour. The audiotour was super boring. The only good thing was the 4 little pieces of chocolate we got
