The Top 6 Cheese Attraction Tickets Worldwide

1.Gouda Cheese Experience Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 578 reviews · 1 day · from $19Our pick

Enter Gouda’s giant cheese-shaped exhibit for a self-guided, interactive journey through cheesemaking. You’ll follow cheese from the polder to the market, try virtual milking and cheese turning, answer quiz questions to become a Cheese Master, and finish with a Gouda tasting. Allow 1 to 1.5 hours.

“It was a fun experience! It was interesting to learn about the cheese making process and the history of Gouda and its famous cheese. The cheese tasting at the end was definitely a highlight. One potential improvement would be more interaction with the friendly, helpful staff. Something gets a bit lost in self-guided museum tours with cartoon videos and audio recordings instead of real human interaction, at least for me.”
