Traveler reviews
Jakob Worm
★★★★★a month agoThe chocolate experience: Was fun and nicely made and presented. Definitely the most kid friendly of the museums. There were some nice interactive elements and the storytelling was great. A fun museum. About the WOW 72 hour ticket: When we bought the 72 hour tickets we felt this price was a bit steep at 40 euro per person but for each museum we visted we felt the price was more and more worth it. The museums were all great and most offered tastings as part of the regular ticket. Highly recommend the full ticket be aware that to do it all in one day you properly have to get there early.
Julie Turrentine
★★★★★6 months agoLoads of information about the history and production of chocolate. Fun, multimedia presentations. Tour ended with a tasting of several chocolates, free samples and even a chance to taste a fresh roasted cacao bean. Elevators make the whole experience accessible. Signage in Portuguese and English. Exit through the gift shop and chocolate cafe.
