★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 4,883 reviews · 1 day · from $18Our pick

At Choco-Story Brussels, follow the journey from cocoa bean to Belgian praline with an audio guide in several languages.

The visit is self-paced, family-friendly, and usually takes about one to two hours.

“I loved the interactive parts of the museum and the way that all the information was presented. The only thing I would change is that I would provide headphones/earphones to the visitors so that the noise in the rooms can be reduced and everyone can enjoy the exhibit.”
