Traveler Reviews

Maybe 30 years ago you could call that a museum ...On the present days we have internet ,so you don't really need to see a place of which the 80% contains just informations spread with big letters on the walls about cacao in a try to fill the space of 3 floors. I can easily google "Story of Cacao" and have all those information on my phone in secs and for free. About the real deal of a museum, the exhibitions, they are so few (most of them also not really interesting) that you can literally fill a single room with them and again will be space to show more. Besides that the industrial room was ok but of course not worth it for 12 euros to see.... In general NOT recommended if you do not have children. It was kind of a waste of time and definitely needs to be cheaper...

Better think twice when visiting this museum. There are soooo many people inside, that it’s almost impossible to read and enjoy beiing there. Especially now with covid, I can’t understand how they can allow so many people at once. There are also many interactive things where all people are touching, and not enough sanitazer. Anyway the price is to high for what you get and we did not find it interesting.

Worth a visit we enjoyed our visit tried a few samples and purchased a few bits and was given a big bar of chocolate when we was leaving

Good Place to visit but you only need about 1&1/2 hrs . The chocolate making area is very intriguing

Now, since we reside in Cologne, we visited the museum first time in May.2018 and then subsequently in irregular intervals. I will try to be as objective here and my possible opinions will be specifically notified as such. Location: The museum is located at the riverbank of Rhine, near the well known "Cranes" buildings (named after the historic cranes used to offload the ships at that particular spot). Public transport to the location: well connected by Cologne's Tramway system and others. Actually, it is not so far from the city centre so one might walk when the weather is nice. Private transport: The underground garages that stretch underneath the riverbank are - VAST! And I literally mean that you probably will not see anything like it. Enormously long underground tunnel that stretches for kilometres providing the parking space for thousands of automobiles. However, IT IS UNBELIEVABLY EXPENSIVE! It is so expensive that even us, who are Cologne residents, avoid it all costs (unle
