Chocolate Museum, Cologne

You can buy tickets upon entry, no need for advance tickets unless you want. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the museum and learning the history of chocolate and how it’s made, processed, and used across the world and different cultures. Coolest part is seeing the chocolate actually made right in front of you through different steps. You even get to click a button that pops out the chocolate that was just cooled/made. Definitely worth the visit here in Cologne!

Nice place to have an idea about how the 'Lindt' chocolates are made. Very nice place to take children for their level of excitement. Especially nice to see the different types of process throw which chocolates are made. It's one of a kind experience. Not to forget and miss the free sample tasting of chocolate wafers provided. Wheelchair accessible entrance is available. Exciting information about chocolates are available.

Really interesting factory museum. I thought they did a nice job including a wide array of interests/considerations to include some relating to fair trade and global warming concerns in the chocolate industry. Lots to look at, you could spend half a day here for sure. Loved the shop, plenty to buy there. One of the coolest things was that you have the opportunity to have a custom chocolate bar made right in front of you!

I had a good time here. I would recommend getting tickets ahead of time because the line to get in can be slow and long. We tried coming on a Saturday and it was just way too busy, we came back on a Wednesday and it was much better. Still crazy with a lot of families. There was a lot of information and seeing the production area was informative. I really like the historical information on chocolates origins and the Mayan part of the exhibit. There's a shop and cafe as well.

100% recommended. The visit far exceeded my expectations. It is very pleasant, and the fact that they welcome you with a chocolate is already a good sign. What I liked the most was being able to see how a real chocolate factory works. If you come to Cologne, you have to go.
