You could literally spend days here with all of the information at your disposal. We came late in the day so sadly had to rush through a lot of it, but I absolutely loved it.

I'd absolutely recommend to make this apart of yoir CDMX trip.

My personal favorite were the top three floors, particularly the impressionist art exhibit. But the Rodin sculptures on the top floor were really breathtaking. I'd absolutely return in a heartbeat!

We got to taste a roasted cacao bean at the entrance. We read quite a bit about cacao in Mexican culture, and I watched some people grind cacao beans into a paste. Staff was friendly and, despite not being able to communicate with us easily, they tried to show things along the way. Most of our experience was with reading what we could at each room. It was cool to see some artifacts that were used to grind cacao. Cost was 85 pesos (~$6), which isn't bad. Wish there could have been more things to taste and beans to grind; however, I feel happy to know a little bit more about chocolate

Otherwise, the museum is worth a walk through but to me the main event was to make your own chocolate. I am not sure how to get this set up to be part of your experience since it was prearranged by the person guiding us. Find out in advance, so you will not be disappointed! By using the Metate, the concave curved stone slab used by the Aztecs to grind shelled cacao beans to paste, you take the roasted beans and some sugar through the process of making chocolate. Yes, it is pretty much that simple when it comes to the ingredients. However, the labor needed to make the magic happen might be more than expected. The people there will help guide you in technique, but it really comes down to your time and effort to make it happen. The end result is a paste I would have liked to take home with me. However, the way they had you end the experience there was to mix it with either milk or water to drink it. Yes, the milk, at least for me, is better tasting, but since this is probably something you are ever going to do once in your life, do try it BOTH ways!
