  Lovely experience. Excellent instruction and was a lot of fun to make our own chocolate creations. Thank you for letting us take them home and also for the complimentary apron! Thank you so much. We all had fun doing it.

• 5So much fun!

  Loved the workshop! The chocolatier gave a thorough and clear demonstration of how to use the piping bags and the variety of shapes you can create. It was a really relaxed environment. 10/10

• 3Good…but don’t set expectations too high

  So it is less about making chocolate and more about how to make shapes out of the chocolate. The museum was good. Definitely something to do if you’re there for several days but I would bypass it if you’re there for one day

• 5Great fun for the family

  Had a great time as a family decorating chocolate. You don’t learn about the chocolate making within the workshop you just get to create your own chocolate bars and shapes. Good fun and then you can visit the museum tour after - leave yourself plenty of time for that too as it’s quite detailed with an audio tour.

• 3Too Expensive and Instructors Had Poor Attitudes

  I do a lot of viator experiences and many cooking ones. I thought this was disappointing. I guess it is partly my fault for not reading the reviews closely, and just basing my decision on the overall reviews. This is the chocolate museum in Brugge. I did not have any interest in visiting it. So you basically do a chocolate making experience with the staff at the museum. They are not good. Not personable. Not like cooking classes you have done before. It was large. I don't know. Maybe 20 people. I would recommend you look at another smaller more intimate experience not associated with the museum. 50 dollars a piece for the experience was way too high. This was like a 20 dollar experience, and that is generous. I might be somewhat biased, because I had just done the beer and waffle making class in Brugge that morning, and it was 100 times better. This was basically ok.

• 5Fun experience for all ages

  Going in I expected a fun, if touristy, experience and got exactly what I wanted out of it a fun hour of playing with chocolate. You have access to three types of chocolate- blonde [caramelized white], milk and dark for your base plus about a dozen options for toppings plus designs you can trace on to your chocolate - you can make as much as you want in the time given and you get to keep the apron as well. Only complaint was that the workshop area while cooler than the rest of the museum by far, it was not cool enough - the blonde chocolate in particular has trouble setting (making it a race against the clock to ensure you could take it with you) and all the chocolate lost its temper. Hardly something I'm going to deduct points for, but if you were thinking of using the blonde chocolate I'd absolutely start with that first and the chocolates may not be as shiny as you expect. All in all though, a very fun activities for all ages - the 6+ rating seems appropriate for the dexterity needed.

About Bruges

Bruges is a medieval Flemish city of canals, cobbled squares and brick gables, its historic centre protected as a World Heritage site.

Bruges grew rich in the Middle Ages on the cloth trade and as a port joined to the sea by a channel, until the waterway silted up and left the city almost untouched for centuries. The Markt square is overlooked by the Belfry, whose 366 steps lead up to a carillon and a view across the rooftops. A short walk away, the Burg holds the Gothic city hall and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.

Top-ranked sights in Bruges: Burg Square, Market Square (Markt), Minnewater (Lake of Love).
