Informative and fun museum for all chocolate lovers!…read more Being a chocolate lover, coming across a museum dedicated to chocolates in Europe appeared a no-brainer to me. Located in Hamburg near the canal and within a shirt walk to The Miniature Wunderland, this interactive chocolate museum offers great education and hands-on tasting experience. To join a tour, it is recommended that you make a reservation online. Most tours are in German, and there is only one English-speaking tour per day. Therefore, making an advance reservation is critical if you like a guaranteed spot. Before we began, we left our belongings at the locker our front as we were told we would be making our own chocolates. The tour started off with a dipping a plain cookie at a chocolate fountain. Afterward, we were led onto special exhibits to view cocoa plants, cocoa pods, and various aspects of cocoa trades. This was the first time I received good definitions of multiple fair trade labels on chocolate packaging. We were then shown multiple machinery that were used to process cocoa. All the guests were invited to try the cocoa end products after each stage. In addition, each guest was given the opportunity to make their own chocolate. Guests could choose between white, milk, and dark chocolates and pick multiple toppings on their own candy bar. The candy bar was briefly chilled and packaged for each guest to take home. Overall, we had a very fun and yummy experience at the chocolate museum. It was very informative to see how chocolate started from the cocoa plants and the process it took to become our candy bars. After this trip, I greatly appreciate all the hard work and innovation behind every chocolate bar. Must see museum for all chocolate lovers!
