Verkade Experience

Museum exhibit Zaandam, North Holland, Netherlands

What to expect

The Verkade Experience is a treat for young and old, located in the Zaans Museum. It transports visitors back to the chocolate and biscuit factory of the early twentieth century, where original machines are still in use and the history of Verkade comes alive. The experience includes interactive and educational games, and children can even wrap their own chocolate bar in a self-designed wrapper. The Verkade treasury showcases the company's marketing campaign, including the famous Verkade albums with pictures and original watercolors. The place is accessible, with rest areas available, making it a great destination for families to visit and learn about the history of the Zaan region's food industry
