What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Musée du Chocolat Schaal a charming and sweet experience, particularly enjoying the hands-on workshops and the indulgent chocolate buffet. While the museum exhibits are brief, the overall atmosphere is fun and educational, with the gift shop offering great value. Some visitors felt the museum portion was too short for the price, but the interactive elements often compensate for this.
"It's not a big museum, but a nice place to spend an hour or so. During the tour you get to taste different chocolates, and you get to bring something home.
We also did the chocolate workshop, which was fun to do. And you get to bring home your own chocolate bar.
We've spent 30 minutes or so at the all you care to enjoy chcolatebuffet which was actually surprisingly good. Different cakes, chocolates and ice-cream, fresh fruit and a chocolate fountain running melted milk chocolate.
It was educational, fun and delicious!"

"Short exhibition (maybe 15 - 20 min to cover it all) with lots of chocolates to sample, which was a treat! For free, so no complaints! Chocolates at fair prices at the shops"
Cheng Wei Lee
"i think it was okay. we booked the museum and the chocolat cooking coach. to make the chocolate was really funny. the price is good in my opinion. but for me the museum was nothing. it was really small and you can’t try a lot of things. but all in all it was okay."
