Really nice museum. It comprises good quality and quantity of information about chocolate- from the cocoa beans types and harvesring to the actual process of making chocolate. Its layout is such that it is fun for the kids all while being informative. The process of making chocolate is easy to understand as you can just follow the machines step by step. There is even a free chocolate dipped waffle tasting throughout the tour. There is a small section where you can see different tropical plants. Within the same building there is also a cafe with an assortment of cake. Though i did not get to try it, it looked very tasty and the view from the cafe is really nice. Update about the bistro which we visited in the weekend: awesome assortment of cake. Tried the chocolate torte and the mousse and both very delicious. The best hot chocolate I had so far. It is a little expensive but definitely worth it. The staff are all smiling and friendly. Had a nice experience.

We loved our visit here. You get to learn about where chocolate comes from, starting with the cocoa plant. There is an indoor tropical forest, and you can see how chocolate is made, in a little factory. There are good samples along the way, and interesting and interactive displays. They also have a place where you can have a chocolate bar custom made! Everything about this place was great.

When I heard about it I thought it was going to be another money-making touristic attraction. I was very reluctant. It ended up being a very pleasant and joyful experience. The machines melting the chocolate the various information and the clever way of presenting it, the smells, the mini tropical forest, everything brought a little excitement. I will definitely take my friends to see it and have a coffee in the coffee shop with the friendly staff.

Excellent place to visit... Loved the details provided in pictorial format on how chocolates are good and bad both.... Fountain was awesome... Unfortunately I visited just an hour before the closing time and hence couldn't witness the production. Kids will love this place. Restaurant within the museum complex was good as well. Overall highly recommended and must visit place when in Cologne...

Absolutely great day out with partner and little one! Great to see the massively hard work and great history behind the sweet that most of us enjoy every day CHOCOLATE!! Even shows how coco tribes used to build boats from chopping down giant trees and turning them in to floating crafts. Besides that you get to watch chocolate being made from start to finish and even get to sample it ☺. Plus you can make your own bar to your specification. 5 stars every time
