The Sweet Journey of Chocolate: Discover, Wonder, and Try It Yourself
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Museum of Nature and Man in Freiburg invites families to a special family afternoon. In the exhibition "Completely Unfair!" children from 4 years old, together with their adult companions, will follow the journey of the cocoa bean from the tree to the finished chocolate bar.
From Cocoa Tree to Chocolate
How does cocoa grow? What journey lies behind a chocolate bar? During the family afternoon, children will discover the origin and processing of the cocoa bean. Illustrative impressions from the exhibition make global connections understandable and relatable for children.
Get Involved and Make Your Own Chocolate
After exploring, it will get practical: families will make their own chocolate and experience an exciting learning adventure with all their senses. Smelling, touching, observing, and tasting combine learning fun with shared time. Thus, a museum event becomes an unforgettable family experience filled with children's laughter and curiosity.
Aged Appropriately, Guided, and Safe
The offer is aimed at children aged 4 and above. Each child participates accompanied by an adult. The manageable event duration of two hours creates a child-friendly environment where questions, exploration, and practical experimentation find their place. The venue is weather-independent and accessible according to DIN 18040.
Important Note on Participation
The event is sold out. The event ticket costs 5 euros; for adults, an additional museum entry fee of 5 euros, reduced 3 euros, applies. For certain groups, including people under 27 years old and holders of a Freiburg Pass, Family Card, or Museum Pass-Musees, admission is free.
Conclusion: A Sweet Museum Experience for the Whole Family
The long journey of chocolate combines sensory experiences, child-friendly knowledge transfer, and creative participation. Families can expect a varied afternoon around cocoa, sustainability, and the creation of a popular treat. The spots are already taken, but the Museum of Nature and Man regularly offers more family activities for curious children and their adult companions.
