Great experience! - Great experience! The lady on reception was lovely, had very good English and was very banterous. The museum itself was very informative and very well laid out. The free fries at the end was a great addition even tho we got caught in a school trip and skipped the fries, the ladies said we could return in 10 minutes when it was less busy. Great pass time activity!

fun visit - It was fun and entertaining. I don't understand all the negativity when I see the other reviews. I went with family (all adults) and we had a very good time. I would go again and absolutely recommend visiting this one.

An exciting and very fun visit!!!! - The museum is superb and time has passed at a crazy speed. The 2 hours of visit seemed too short so much fun! There are great games for children that make the tour interactive. We much preferred this visit to the chocolate factory, which we found less interesting. Small bonus: the pack of fries on the way out was excellent!

Bizarre but worth it - Did the combined Chocolate museum and Fry museum ticket. I preferred the Fry museum if just doing one. Who knew there was so much to learn about fried potatoes? Bizarre and entertaining. Entrance ticket gives you a coupon for money off fries at the end.

+ the museum of potatoes only fries 🍟 - It is a small museum that will tell you the history of the potato. But lacks, in my opinion, pop culture references around the fries 🍟

It's not that bad. - It was more about potatoes than fries. About how they got to Europe, and how the cultivation process is. It's interactive but a little boring.
