This family's experience:

Activities: We spent about three hours there. We got a chocolate praline when we entered the exhibition.

We also saw the famous chocolate fountain and tasted waffles dipped in liquid chocolate. There was also the history of chocolate

Highlights: The combination of high-quality edutainment, real scientific claim – and chocolate made it a success. Our teenager enjoyed catching three chocolate bars from the testing machine, and we enjoyed the history of chocolate exhibit ✨
