What are people saying about Bruges

Carrie_M, Jul 2026

Fun 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.

Such a fun time! Elliott...

Such a fun time! Elliott led our class. We had a short intro about different types of waffles and then learned how to make the Brussel Belgium waffles. Each group of 2 or 3 got to make their own batch of batter, cook them and eat them. Many of toppings were provided to please the entire group. Elliott was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time!

Fun Chocolate Making Morning

This class is hands on, making chocolate pralines and tasting some local beers. Our host/instructor Wilfred was warm, funny and gave great information. You leave with a box of lovely chocolates that you made. And some interesting chocolate, beer and local history.

Super Fun Truffle Making (and Eating)!

Our family of 4 kids (ages 8-14) loved this class! Tine was so patient and explained everything very well. We loved her stories and historical information. And our truffles tasted great! We also loved the Belgian hot chocolate we made while we waited for the truffles to chill.
