Overview
Save this!
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later.
This is one of the best museums we have visited and our kids thoroughly enjoyed it! It is definitely worth a visit when you are in Antwerp
The self-guided tour follows the journey of cocoa beans from plantation to traveling to Europe in big ships to turning into chocolate
Tip
This is the best museum on chocolate in Belgium by far! We have also been to Choco-story in Brussels and to Choco-story in Bruges and Chocolate Nation is much more interactive and fun
