This is one of the most unique travel experiences in Davao! There is an excellent chocolate museum which includes the opportunity to make your own chocolates! There is an area where love birds will land on your head - we had lunch in the restaurant which was excellent. This is definitely a "must see" if you are going to Davao!

Museo Dabawenyo

Reviewed By christadanicaj - Caloocan, Philippines

Visit the new temporary location and get amazed by how rich Mindanao culture and heritage is. Get the guided tour and ask for Sir Randy. He is very knowledgeable and informative. I am looking forward to the new 5 storey building that is being constructed in cooperation with the National Museum. I am sure that the museum will be so huge and beautiful! This is a must visit when you go to Davao. Admission is free.
