Choco Story Museum - Things to do with Kids in Prague

The Choco Story Museum is a certain hit with kids in Prague. Suitable for all ages and ideal for a rainy day! Get all the info about it this article.

I don't know many kids that don't like chocolate, so the 'Choco Story Museum' in Prague is one that I always recommend to visitors with kids ;-) Apart of learning, in a fun way, all about the history of chocolate, kids can also watch, and try!, how pralines are made. Additionally they get stickers and paper at the entrance,and, if all is filled out correctly, can exchange this after the visit for a small surprise gift.
