It was fantastic, we loved the listening devices and how easy it was to use them. We loved the interactive games to play. Also loved the chocolate demonstration and of course trying the chocolate that was shown to us how they make it. There was also 4 different types of chocolate to try. Spent lots in the gift all reasonably priced. Lovely chocolate. X”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 652 reviews · 1 day · from $14

Review of Bruges Frietmuseum, with potato history, Belgian fries, interactive exhibits, cellar tasting, prices, tips, and family advice.

“The museum was a little hard to follow at first as it went through the history of the potato but as you got up the stairs it became alot more interesting. there were lots of photo opportunities and games throughout the museum as well as lots of exhibits to look at. at the end of the tour there was a small cafe in the basement serving fries, other foods and drinks. Whilst a tasting wasn't included in our ticket, we did get 50¢ off a portion of fries which came to €3 each which was good value.”
