    At last I was able to visit the museum with my teenage daughter. I enjoyed my visit a lot. I learned where our patatoes came from and how they were cultivated and so much more Off course I'm very interested in the 19th century and was very happy to see what they used to make the first Belgian fries. And I could find out how the perfect fries are fried and I tasted them as well in the cellar. They tasted perfectly. You could also watch them beeing made. It was a great experience for een Belgische frietjes fan.

    My advice for this museum? Slow down. relax. Take the time to read the displays. It's very interesting! You get a little machine that reads you bits of info about each section and you do learn some interesting and unusual things! Once you have done the downstairs section, there are some more interactive bits upstairs, including some giant singing potatoes and trust me, you'll still be singing "We are fries, we're not French" for days afterwards! Ha! We liked it as a mixed little group of middle aged and early 20s people. My daughter bought a "stress potato" in the gift shop for 4 Euro. She loves it! It's the little things! Ha ha!

    Oddly satisfying experience. Before coming here I had no idea that potatoes and French fries have an interesting history. It's opened my eyes on the wars behind potatoes and how processed our potatoes are. It's something I've never thought of before coming here. There are many interactive spaces in the museum and a French fired themed restaurant at the underground part of the museum and a shop to buy merch. Overall this was a satisfying experience and highly recommend coming here if you want to try something new or experience something new.

    Museum did not have our reservation despite the email from Viator providing me with the receipt of payment, letting me know to get the tickets from the museum directly for that day and time the museum was initially not willing to let me in without paying again, however eventually let us in, but they explain they will need to follow up with Viator to try and get payment from them since their system did not recognize that we had booked and paid Despite paying Several days before the visit
