Chocolate Nation was a fun and well-made experience. The story of Belgian chocolate is told step by step with nice visuals, audio, and tasting moments along the way. The space is clean, the flow is clear, and nothing feels rushed. Staff were friendly and the tasting at the end made the visit feel complete.

I also loved the part of the tour where there is a dining area and the little sho...
