Excellent museum - This is an excellent museum. It explains the history and development of chocolate with a mixture of displays and audio recordings.
The museum is designed to appeal to families and the audio recordings are short and easy to follow.
You can tap your device beside each display so you can choose which recordings to listen to.
I saw the smallest chocolate pot in the collection - the 'selfish' pot - and trembling pots to be attached to carriages. Also many examples of cocoa bean pods and just about everything else connected with chocolate.
Do go.

Historical aspects of chocolate - Entertaining and informative museum about the history of chocolate. Self-guided tour with free audio guide. You get a free sample at the beginning and at the end! There are some interactive exhibits, but don't expect it to be like Cadbury World!

All Chocolate. - A great discovery. We are taken into the whole history of chocolate. From Mayan origins to the present day. From cocoa cultivation to chocolate bars, including chocolate tools and services. We end with a tasting….

Very interesting and in-depth history of chocolate - Very in depth collection in history of the making of chocolate all the way from the start in Central America to how it got to Europe. We took the family on this experience, expecting more of it to be about chocolate making, but it was a very small portion of it, guided tour is very in depth and the artifacts are quite interesting. If you pair this with a different tour, it may be worth the money.

Weekend in brugg - It was a very informative tour. They offered unlimited chocolates in various flavors. They space out visitors well to where there is no crowding.

Okay - Another audio tour rather than person. Informative but lots of stairs for older people. Fairly expensive for a small museum but you did get a chocolate.

Chocolate museum experience not very sweet. - Despite having pre-ordered a ticket, I had to wait in line with others who had not purchased a ticket. The museum way-finding was challenging to follow. The museum was crowded and hard to navigate. I was not able to view the demonstration.
