It's not bad, but there are too many screens with too much text, the games are too hard to play. We did enjoy the (temporary) chocolate show where we got to taste very unusual stuff.

Very unimpressed - I expected much more. Mostly games or wikipedia-like articles that you can read from a tablet. The history of believes about food and digestion was the only part I really liked - hence 2 stars, not 1

This place exceeded all our expectations. We knew this is a very good museum, but we did not know was going to be so fun for all of us, our kids loved every corner of the Alimentarium. This is a real interactive and educational experience.

Love this place. Looks imposing from the outside so you might not immediately wonder in, like me, I waited a year before I finally went in! But once you’re here, you’ll love the staff, the excellent coffee (of course!) and the ambiance. One of my favourite places to visit in Vevey. Here’s another thing I love, check out the toilets - both men and women have baby changing rooms. That’s cool! Well done, Nestle ????????????❤️

The food museum is located near the Lake of Geneva; that is why it has a beautiful view. The museum itself is a good scientific museum with lots of information about food history, devices and even internal digestive and sensitive systems of human body. I think it is a good place for children (due to lots of interactive games related to food industry) and for adults it can be also an interesting place, if you are really into this kind of informative museums. We were there in a hot summer day and unfortunately inside the building was also very warm. I think the ticket is also too expensive. Keep in mind, if you don’t want to read all of the signs and information; you can finish it in about one hour. It has also a restaurant and a coffeeshop inside the museum; but I think they are very expensive too. Here also you can get student discount :) so don’t forget your student card. After visiting Chaplin’s world, this museum was not that attractive for me. (I visited both of them in one day)

The Alimentarium Museum is a space where is time flies unnoticed and you can get interesting and useful facts about the history of food, dishes, etiquette rules, healthy foods, digestion processes and how much you need to exercise to burn calories, etc. What is great that is a mix of audio-gide excursions, computer games and interactive zones of many tests. The gaming zone bring joy to everyone from children to adults. Catchable experiments will not leave indifferent even the most inveterate sceptic. I'm very thankful from all Ukrainian people for the possibility to visit this place for free and special thanks for administrator's attentiveness and patience. Really and strictly recommend to visit.

It is a good place to visit with children, if you are around Vevey coastal promenade. As name suggests, museum is Nestle's site for food related expositions with educative and entertaining purpose. There is a small exposition about Nestle, but it is supplemented with multimedia presentation about food, digestion and society overall. There are game rooms to play with kids, some are more entertaining than others. Majority of visitors come to sit on a terrace opposite to a famous fork and view of Vevey coast. It is a good place for leisurely passing time with children and learning a fact or two.

The Alimentarium is located right in front of Lake Geneva where the iconic giant fork of Vevey stands. It’s primarily a food museum that spans two storeys. There are lots of information about the origins of food, exhibits of cooking equipments from different periods in time, food in cultures and how they behave in our bodies. Very interesting info, however the museum may be more appealing to kids as some of the exhibits are interactive.

The restaurant at the ground level serves up great food. The chefs are really friendly, and you can watch how they carefully plate the dishes. The staffs working in the building are extremely friendly and polite as well.

I enjoyed my visit very much but don’t think it’s a must to enter the museum (entry is 13 euros for adults). Visiting the giant fork and the Alimentarium for a meal would make a great activity too!
