Attention, sweet tooth!
If you are on holiday in Hamburg with children, you can also visit your very own paradise. The CHOCOVERSUM in the heart of the city is just the place for you and the kids to feel completely happy.
The chocolate museum covers an area of 1200 square metres. The organisers of this cultural and gastronomic institution are sure that they will make people happy, because chocolate is the product that stimulates the production of the happiness hormones. If you want to tell your child what chocolate is, how it is made and what its ingredients are, and if you want to learn something new about this magical delicacy yourself, go straight to the CHOCOVERSUM.
Dialogue in the Dark, an interactive museum for adults and children, is 300 meters away.
This great world of chocolate introduces your curious tourist to the cocoa tree. Your child will learn what the plant looks like — there are cocoa trees from equatorial forests in the museum's conservatory. They'll be shown how tiny cocoa beans are turned into delicious chocolate, told how it's shipped from far away and even offered to help unload a ship in the harbour.
This close contact with the CHOCOVERSUM's exhibits is especially important for children, because only by touching and feeling them with their own hands can they truly be initiated into the mystery of chocolate making. So, if you are ready to embark on a fascinating culinary journey with the museum staff, go ahead and fight the grenade!
You will be taken through all the stages in the production of this divine drink which, when hardened, takes on the shape familiar to all children. Local chocolatiers will let you in on the secrets of more than 500 chocolate flavours! You can even create your own using different ingredients and then eat the resulting dessert.
Before you leave the CHOCOVERSUM museum, don't forget to visit the small shop where you can buy all kinds of chocolate. A sweet, fragrant and delicious souvenir from Hamburg — what could be better? The best thing to do is to visit the Chocolate Museum in Cologne.
