Great to look round the museum and small factory - also to taste some of their wares and see how some of the moulded chocolate items are made. Made all the better by 'YourGuide' selling the tickets cheaper than at the venue. I could order the tickets in their reception area and immediately get in cheaper :)

The ticket allows you to jump the queue which was likely a 15-20 minute wait. The mueseum itself is well organised and has lots to offer for all ages. I found the history aspect interesting but my 7 year old did not and therefore was not engaged in parts of the muesem that I would have liked to spend more time.

The museum was worth the visit for sure. However, it was incredibly congested and there was little guidance on shuffling people through the different exhibits of the museum. I suggest that the museum considers doing timed tickets so that everyone has an opportunity to truly enjoy the delights of the museum. We were so overwhelmed by the number of people, we left w/in the hour.
