This was easily the kids' favourite bit as you get several bags for each token. The shop is also, as you might expect, impressive...

So much Haribo! After all, I went to a Haribo Museum so of course I was expecting to see a lot of Haribo.

You literally go around the museum looking at how gelatin is mixed together with sugar, then a load of food colouring. Then, in the shop (which is also the exit), there are massive boxes with kilograms of Haribo candies in stacks which are like 4ft tall. It made me feel a...
