This is the second time I've visited, and this time I brought my family along… In the end, they gave us an incredible demonstration, and we even got to try different kinds of chocolate!Gororgle · Alejandro Díaz
A dynamic, educational, and fun museum. The audio guide makes it easy to explore. It covers everything from its Mayan origins and legends to its cultivation, processing, and uses in Mexico and Europe…Gororgle · Fernando J. Arteaga
It's right behind the Mexico City Cathedral… The mansion is incredible, and the activities and games for the kids are really fun. The museum exhibits are very well curated.Gororgle · Lorenne T. S
The building has an elevator, and everything is on one level. The ramps are so well-designed that you can hardly see them. They offer workshops on how to make chocolate and demonstrations every half hour.Gororgle · Cuicani
It's one of the few museums that's open on Mondays; plus, it's not just any museum—it's an interactive museum with technology that few other museums in Mexico have.Gororgle · Ilse Beatriz Moreno
The general admission ticket includes an audio guide that explains each room; there are interactive games, and I liked that each room is beautifully themed.Gororgle · Lourdes Escamilla
A very family-friendly museum that's enjoyable to visit with friends or family… At the end, there's a room where they introduce you to—and let you sample—one of their house-made chocolate creations, which they prepare right in front of you.Gororgle · Aarón Fernández
My experience on the tour was unforgettable… The last room offers a taste of chocolate made right there on the spot.Gororgle · Alfonso Carrasco
Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout the Museum in Mexico City
Do you accept groups and schools?
Yes. Groups of 8 or more are considered a group. You can book directly through the online booking system or contact us to make arrangements.
What's included in the ticket price?
The complete tour of the exhibits and the audio guide. Near the end, there is a display case where you can see how chocolate is poured into molds, followed by a tasting of the artisanal chocolate made at the museum.
How long does the tour last?
About an hour. The museum is spread over three floors, and visitors can explore at their own pace: you can go as fast or as slow as you like.
How much is admission?
General admission is $240 MXN. Reduced rates are $140 for students and adults over 60, $180 for Mexico City residents, and $90 for children ages 3 to 12. Children under 3 get in free. All discounts are available upon presentation of valid identification or a valid ID card.
Is it open on Mondays?
Yes. The museum is open seven days a week, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Is the museum accessible?
Yes. The building has an elevator, ramps, and an accessible restroom, and the entire route is wheelchair-accessible.
How do I get there? Is there parking?
We're located at Guatemala 24, in the Historic District, a four-minute walk from the Zócalo. The nearest metro station is Zócalo-Tenochtitlan on Line 2.
The museum does not have its own parking lot. The Historic District is a difficult area to drive through, so we recommend taking the subway.
What is the chocolate workshop?
It's a one-hour session where you choose the molds and decorations and create your own chocolate figures, guided by a master chocolatier. You get to take home everything you make.
The workshop must be booked separately: the $500 fee covers only the session, while the “Museum + Workshop” packages—ranging from $580 to $730 depending on the profile—also include admission to the museum. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time.
Is there anything to eat or buy?
Yes. We have an area where you can sample chocolate-based drinks and a shop that sells chocolates and our own merchandise.
Are you coming as a group?
Schools, businesses, and celebrations. Let us know how many people are coming and what date you have in mind, and we'll put together a tour.
