What Our Visitors Say
The exhibits are beautiful, and if you're a foreign visitor, you can enjoy them without any trouble, since the exhibit descriptions are available in six different languages. Plus, Mauricio's explanation of chocolate and its history is fantastic. 🍫Gororgle · Balderas Rivera Mich
Locals should check it out, and tourists shouldn't miss it—it's a brief and interesting tour through four exhibits that tell the story of cacao, how valuable it has been to Mexico, and its significance throughout the country's history.Gororgle · Rossy Montaño
A fantastic place to learn more about the history of chocolate, its uses, and traditions… They also have ongoing activities, so it’s highly recommended for both local and international visitors. They also sell wonderful products.Gororgle · Angelica Hernandez
I loved every room—they have a lot of information and the exhibits are in good condition. I also appreciated being able to choose the language for the explanations, and the chocolate demonstration was definitely great. I’d go back.Gororgle · Jenni Chuc
