A wheelchair is also available and can be easily reserved in advance. Contact us by telephone and we will be happy to provide you with more information.

For deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors, we offer a user-friendly app that allows them to explore the museum with text and image support.

You can also connect the sound from our audio guides to another speaker (e.g. headphones or a hearing loop) by connecting the audio jack plug of that device to the audio jack input at the bottom of the audio guide. The sound from the audio guide will then be transmitted via this audio jack.

Projections, sound and light are used in various areas of Chocolate Nation. This is part of the museum experience. For some people, this can be a trigger. 

If you have photosensitive epilepsy, it may be advisable to bring earplugs or sunglasses. Please feel free to contact us in advance. We will be happy to provide you with information about the route, any stimulating effects and how to make your visit more comfortable.

Chocolate Nation is an interactive museum consisting of 14 themed rooms that you walk through with an audio guide. The first four rooms are rather dark and have automatic doors. This means that you sometimes have to wait in a room until the passageway opens. This can feel overwhelming for visitors with claustrophobia.

Try to visit the museum in the morning or at quiet times, as fewer crowds can help to reduce the feeling of confinement.

Upon arrival or at the ticket office, ask if it is possible to skip difficult sections or walk through them more quickly. We will be happy to help you.

Each visitor receives an individual audio guide, allowing you to set your own pace. 

Some visitors may find certain parts of the experience sensory intense. The first four rooms of the museum include dark spaces, automatic doors, changing lights, sound and projections.

Try to plan your visit during quiet times (during the week rather than at weekends or during holiday periods). This will help you to limit additional unpredictable stimuli as much as possible.

Visitors with visual impairments

Because we use audio guides within the museum, visitors with visual impairments can receive all the information. In addition, the senses of taste and touch are also stimulated during the tour. It is recommended to bring a companion.
