Highlights
  • Choco-story Brussels - A master chocolate-maker will prepare pralines right in front of you. Tasting chocolate is of course a part of the tour and there is a shop for those of you who want more!

As the visitor walks through the different exhibition rooms, he can learn the history of this precious commodity, from its origins to its transformation as a finished product. Samples of chocolate can be tasted during the visit and you can watch a demonstration given by our master chocolate-maker. Visitors are free to wander around the museum on their own or accompanied by a guide.

Choco-Story Brussels was created in May 2014 when the two families Van Belle and Van Lierde united their efforts for the continual promotion of quality Belgian chocolate by opening their excellent educational, gourmet and great fun museum to the public.

Visit the awesome museum - Top museum! The system of scanning the audio guide with the route to get the explanations is great, which allows you to be concentrated from start to finish, nothing to say. Very welcoming staff, but remember to book your visit carefully to avoid queuing!!! The only minus: perhaps mention from the start the fact that there is a demonstration at the end, at well-defined slots to avoid arriving in the middle or missing the demonstration! The big plus: the chocolates are excellent 😜

Interesting - Small museum a stone's throw from Grand Place. The part with the spread of chocolate in Europe and its subsequent distribution is especially interesting. The vending machines from the early 1900s are beautiful. Also worth seeing are the practical demonstrations.

Informative Experience for Whole Family - We arranged a visit on a spontaneous family break to Brussels and had a highly informative & entertaining afternoon. The audio guide had even our 4yo captivated as he made his way round, and highlights for him were both the free samples (of which he made the most) and the chocolatier demonstration. Would be wrong not to indulge in all things chocolate in when in Brussels of course!

A visit full of chocolate 🍫 - Great museum, the audio guide system is simple and practical and allows you to follow the entire evolution of the museum throughout the visit Avoid peak hours. I advise you to go there between noon, fewer people will be there and you will be able to fully enjoy the experience 👏🏼 A rather nice museum where you can attend a demonstration and also taste several kinds of chocolate 🍫 I recommend 👍🏼

Friendly with children - Instead, plan on a 1-hour visit with children, but a nice, well-orchestrated and interesting hour for the children! Thank you for the audio guides and the little games throughout! A great discovery. Nice staff
