Les Secrets des Grands Express sur Geispolsheim

A magical experience where you can see how cocoa beans are transformed into the finest chocolate. Don't miss the museum, where you can learn about dozens of aromas! A truly sublime experience.

We received a very warm welcome during our visit to the Chocolate Museum in Geispolsheim. From the moment you arrive, the exterior is well-maintained, modern, and easily accessible, with a pleasant atmosphere that immediately invites you inside. Inside, the shop is impeccable: extremely clean, well-organized, and bright. The displays are clear and perfectly showcase a wide variety of chocolates, offered in many forms: bars, molded chocolates, assortments, confectionery… there’s something for everyone. The layout is enjoyable and allows you to discover chocolate from different perspectives, making the visit both delicious and informative. At the checkout, the cashier is friendly, helpful, and professional, which further enhances the positive experience. You can buy chocolate individually or by the kilo, with attractive promotions on certain products nearing their expiration date—an excellent opportunity to treat yourself at a great price without compromising on quality. A visit we highly recommend, as much for the quality of the welcome and the exemplary cleanliness as for the richness and variety of chocolates on offer. A truly delightful experience for chocolate lovers.

I was there on Sunday, January 18, 2026, to surprise my daughter for her birthday. I bought tickets through their website with a package that included an afternoon snack, a museum visit, and making a chocolate bar. We started with the afternoon snack. At €15, I was pleasantly surprised, considering the price was around €9. There were some incredibly original and Alsatian treats. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. It was delicious, and the chocolate theme was definitely there. Special mention goes to the mulled wine cake and the mini kougelhopf. There's a chocolate fountain and even ice cream. It was amazing to go, even without a museum visit. Then came the activity we loved: making a chocolate bar. It was fantastic as a family; we really reconnected and had a great laugh. My teenagers loved it, so there are chairs specifically for toddlers, catering to all ages. The self-guided museum visit is as much a visual experience as an olfactory one, and you get an explanation with a demonstration. In short, the price is more than reasonable; it's truly a great family activity. And I'd like to give a special mention to the staff, who are very friendly and always smiling, especially the young man who took the time to explain everything to us. Areas for improvement include a little more heating and opening hours for older families to enjoy afternoon tea after 3 pm.

The afternoon snack buffet looked great.

Restaurant at the Schaal Museum and Chocolate Shop 🍫. Pleasant, green decor. Friendly service and decent food.

Hello, having had the opportunity to taste these pralines, I found them excellent. Thank you, sincerely, Pascale Klein

A wonderful visit to the Schaal Chocolate Museum! The tour is short but very interesting, with clear explanatory videos, superb chocolate sculptures, and several opportunities to taste chocolate in different forms: cocoa bean, couverture chocolate, ganache, etc. The experience is very interactive thanks to the little games where you touch, smell, and guess. The shop offers good products at reasonable prices, and the staff is very welcoming. A delicious and fun visit that I highly recommend!

Yum yum, there was lots of chocolate

A very nice museum. Definitely worth a visit. The chocolate is world-class. The staff are very friendly. We will definitely stop by again when we are in the area.

A lovely little museum with a reasonable entrance fee. The museum offers workshops and tastings (for an additional fee), but even with the basic tour, you can sample plenty of chocolate. The presence of the chocolatiers is a real bonus: they are available to give demonstrations and explanations. They were all very friendly and welcoming, and we had a wonderful time. Small screens with explanatory videos and sensory games complement the information panels. The visit ends with a video retracing the company's history. Be careful not to overindulge in the chocolate… everything is delicious and very well explained!
