Itinerary

  • Choco-Story, Chocolate Museum

    The Choco-Story museum can be found in Bruges, housed in an ancient building dating from the 15th century. The museum occupies 4 stories and recounts the history of cocoa and chocolate.  More than 1,000 ancient objects and 80 information boards, explain the story of how chocolate evolved from its origins as a spicy Mayan drink to become the delicious sweet that we all love today.  The children’s visit has been specially designed with low information boards and show-cases.  The visit will end with a demonstration of how to make Belgian chocolate sweets which can be sampled.

Chocolate heaven

Published on Apr, 2025

The museum is outstanding. You must book in advance when we arrived about twenty people behind us where turned away who hadn't booked. You get a listening device in your own language and tap it on numbered discs as you make your way around the tour taking your own relaxed time. The chocolate at the end is to die for!

Great facts and learning and well done props

Published on Apr, 2025

You will learn a lot about history and how chocolate is made. It was a great self guided tour. Using a mini phone that you simply tap on an icon then listen. I wouldn’t say good for kids under 12 at all, most would be bore. The pace and time spent at each numbered station is great. Building was cool as well. Beware this is not a guided tour with a human leading the way.

Exhibits on Chocolate

Published on Feb, 2025

We had fun looking at the exhibits here, all about chaocolate, which is so important in this city. And we enjoyed some chocolate treats here as well. Nice to support a place devoted to one of the reasons why we love to visit Belgium, the great chocolates.

Worth a visit if you like chocolate

Published on Jan, 2025

It's an interesting place to spend an hour or two. It's a self-guided tour over a few floors. The free tasting and demonstration were appreciated and it was interesting to see how modern equipment has revolutionised the trade.

A Good Multi-Lingual Museum

Published on Jan, 2025

We did not pre-book our tickets for the Choco Story but the wait on a very wet weekend in early January was not long. They offer pre-booking and package deals if you are also planning on visiting some of the other museums in Bruges. They looked like good value, but wouldn't have worked for us with the short amount of time we were in town. The Choco Story is a self guided tour which takes approximately 90 minutes; there are some fixed information boards around the museum but most information comes from the handheld audio guides that you swipe at various points around the exhibits. Language-wise you can choose Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. In English, and I imagine at least Dutch and French too, they had an adult and a child audio version which works well for families. The range of exhibits was interesting, focussing on the history of chocolate, both worldwide and in Belgium. There are interactive games in some of the rooms, and a silly photo spot at the end which our daughter thought was great fun. We all enjoyed the self-serve samples at the end, and the demonstration was interesting too. Overall, an excellent way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day and a very well thought out museum that caters well to a linguistically diverse audience. We had a great time.
