What Our Visitors Say
The museum is very interactive, and you never get bored—plus, the chocolate they let you sample is delicious. I would 100% go back.Gororgle · Yaretzi Tapia
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 Workshop in Mexico City
Does the workshop include admission to the museum?
No, not all packages include that. The "Chocolate Workshop," priced at $500, is just the workshop. The "Museum + Workshop" packages, priced from $580 to $730 depending on the option, do include the full tour with an audio guide and a tasting.
What time are the workshops, and how long do they last?
There are three sessions every day—11:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.—and each one lasts about an hour. Space is limited, and each session sells out.
At what age can you participate?
Ages 6 and up. Children ages 6 to 12 pay their own fee and work at their own station, accompanied by an adult who also participates.
What did I take away from the workshop?
Everything you make: the figures you've molded and decorated, packed to take home.
Do I need experience or bring anything?
Neither. The chocolatier explains each step, and the apron, supplies, and ingredients are included in the price.
Where is it, and how do I get there?
We're located at Guatemala 24, in the Historic Center, a four-minute walk from the Zócalo. The nearest metro station is Zócalo-Tenochtitlan on Line 2. We don't have parking, and getting around the Historic Center by car can be tricky, so we recommend taking the metro.
Do I need to make a reservation, and what time should I arrive?
It's a good idea to book online: seats sell out on weekends and during holidays.
We ask that you arrive fifteen minutes early. If you arrive late, you can join the workshop once it has started and participate for the remainder of the session; if there is space available in a later workshop on the same day, we will reschedule you, and if there are no spots left, there will be no refund, since the spot was reserved for you.
Can I change the date or cancel?
Yes, up to 24 hours in advance—just send us an email with your reservation number. Within the last 24 hours, the spot has already been reserved, and no refunds will be issued.
Do I need to let them know if I'm allergic to something?
Yes. The chocolate contains milk, and it's prepared in a space where nuts are also present, so there may be traces of nuts. Please let us know before you make a reservation.
Can this be arranged for a group, a school, or a birthday party?
Yes. We organize separate sessions, with dates and times to be arranged, and our pricing is based on the number of participants.
