L'Aventure du Sucre

Really well organised museum. Not only explaining the history and processing of sugar cane, but also general history of Mauritius. We were really impressed by the audio guide too, explaining a good amount of detail. If you visit one museum then it should be this one! The restaurant on site is great for a lunch or drink after your visit too

L’Aventure du Sucre is a must-visit in Mauritius. The museum is very well maintained and gives a clear, interesting insight into the history of sugar, slavery, and the island’s culture. Everything is explained in a simple and engaging way, so it doesn’t feel boring or rushed. The highlight is the free sugar and rum tasting at the end — great variety and a perfect finish to the tour. The place is spacious, air-conditioned, and well organized, making it comfortable even if you’re visiting during the day. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand Mauritius beyond beaches. Worth the time and money.

My wife and I had a free day, so we decided to go to this museum. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice it is! We spent a lot of time reading about the history of sugar in Mauritius. Very interesting! The old, converted factory had much of the same equipment used from back in the day. Very cool to see up close. And it was very kid friendly! Great place to take the family. Once you’ve followed the path and reached the end, you go through the museum store where you can sample various types of sugar and try different Mauritian rums. Whew! Really strong! Overall, we really liked the museum and would highly recommend it if you’re on the north side of Mauritius. Well worth the $26.50/adult we paid for admission.

Really well down museum. An old sugar processing plant converted into a museum telling the story of indentured labour in Mauritius. There is also a sugar tasting at the end and a shop selling souvenirs, rum etc.

This was an amazing experience! There is so much information about the history of Mauritius and of sugar. We stayed much longer than planned to see it all. The size of the facility and the machines is great, you can see everything and you can even do a sugar tasting and taste the sugar cane itself. Don't leave Mauritius without coming here!

This is an interesting museum with a detailed history of sugar production on the island. Honestly I am not sure it justified the 20$USD entry fee but it's a good couple of hours to walk around

Great history lesson at the distillery! Worth the trip and tastings. My one recommendation would be to have more variety of the smaller bottles to buy.

Really interesting place to be at if you are traveling to Mauritius. This takes you through the whole journey of sugar processing from farm to home with detailed explanations of the process. Also this gives you the clear idea about how the sugar industry in Mauritius evolved with the time . Also there are souvenir shops where you can buy sugar based sweets or alcohol which are unique to this part. If you want you can taste samples before select.Also this provides space for you to dine with families or friends with a great restaurant. The staff is friendly and supportive. Food is ok and place is clean and well maintained. You need to buy a ticket to enter this place and it includes tasting as well
