lindt museum tour zurich

After more than five years of planning and preparation, the highly complex research facility was successfully brought into operation at the beginning of 2020. The facility combines maximum flexibility and functionality with highest quality implementation and is available to chocolate producers and research institutes as well as universities. The plant features a flexible molding line, which visitors to the Lindt Home of Chocolate can marvel at during their tour, as well as an additional production line for chocolate mass. This enables professionals to develop recipes on a small scale and simulate the optimization of production sequences and process technologies – factors that are important to the whole of the chocolate industry. Thus, the Lindt Chocolate Competence Foundation is taking a proactive stance in fostering the innovative strength of the entire industry, while also providing an ideal infrastructure for sector-specific further education and the advanced training of specialists. For the visitors, however, the highlight is the impressive open-view production taking place in the so-called molding line. Here, the making of a filled chocolate square can be followed step by step. To further enhance the experience, the various technologies, sensors and process stages are highlighted and explained in detail. Specially devised animations even provide insights into a chocolate casting tool or illustrate how the finely modulated alternating cooling and heating of the chocolate ensures a perfect taste experience for the consumer. After packaging, which consists of a highly advanced storage facility, three robotic arms and the tubular bag machine, visitors are of course offered a taster – to personally convince themselves of the product quality.

Advanced Engineering for Chocolate Masterpieces

A team of 50 experts worked for months to ensure the highly flexible plant could be launched on time. In addition to the seamless chocolate production, visitors are therefore also offered a special chocolate creation. More than 40 interfaces had to be aligned to ensure the various plant components, control systems and building services communicate correctly and to guarantee smooth operation. After all, the machine produces and packages no less than 7,000 Lindt Squares per hour – that amounts to 56,000 Squares per museum day. The advanced construction allows both solid, unfilled chocolate Squares to be created, as well as products with one or even two types of filling. For this, around 1,000 molds simultaneously circulate through the individual process steps on the machine. The rear section of the open-view production facility additionally contains an equally impressive line for cocoa mass production. This exclusively serves for experimenting with various technologies, at a production volume of five to 200 kilograms.

The facility also represents an important contribution towards instruction and training provision for specialists from a variety of fields and different companies. The pilot plant enables experimentation and training sessions to be carried out on a relatively small scale, without greatly interfering with ongoing production. This offers trainees, such as food technicians and system supervisors, an ideal preparation for the generally much larger plants they will be in charge of. The minimizing of waste is a positive side effect of the comparatively small production volume. The opportunities are promising and the first projects with start-ups and scientists from Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) have already gotten off the ground.

The Lindt Home of Chocolate in Zurich: What to Expect

• August 22, 2022 December 19, 2023
• Culinary Experiences , Indoor Activities

Last Updated on December 19, 2023 by Darla Uhl

Modern society offers us the luxury of enjoying chocolate. The Swiss are famous for chocolate and also proud of it. Therefore, a Swiss vacation must include an indulgence in chocolate if you are a fan. So if you are a chocolate lover, one of the best things to do in Zurich is to go to the Lindt Home of Chocolate . Among the chocolates you’ll find are dark, milk, white, and chocolates mixed with salt, caramel, etc.

The Lindt Home of Chocolate features a nine-meter-high chocolate fountain, a chocolate-tasting tour within the multimedia museum, chocolate courses, and the world’s largest Lindt chocolate store. It’s the ultimate chocolate destination and a fun adventure for everyone. It is run by the Lindt Chocolate Competence Foundation.

Here’s what you can expect when you visit Lindt Home of Chocolate .

Visiting the Lindt Home of Chocolate

Lindt Home of Chocolate has been one of Switzerland’s most visited museums since it opened in September 2020. It was opened by brand ambassador and tennis legend Roger Federer and Federal Councilor Ueli Maurer, together with President Ernst Tanner. Kilchberg’s Lindt & Sprüngli Factory Building is right next door.

You should start by buying your tickets for Lindt Home of Chocolate online. A lot of visitors go to the Lindt Home of Chocolate and there are limited slots per hour. So it’s a good idea to book your slot in advance, preferably a day early. 

Once you’ve picked your time, you’ve got 30 minutes to get in. For example, if you book at 10:00 AM, try to get there between 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM. Just keep that in mind when you book. 

Lindt’s 9-Meter High Chocolate Fountain

The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a giant chocolate fountain pouring heavenly chocolate.  The 9.3-meter-high chocolate fountain is definitely one of the highlights and social media stars of the Lindt Home of Chocolate .

The chocolate fountain weighs three tons, has 94 meters of piping, and circulates 1,500 liters of chocolate, or 1 kilogram per second.

It won’t be possible to touch the chocolate fountain, but there will be plenty of opportunities to try chocolates later in the tour.

The Lindt Home of Chocolate Tour

The chocolate tour starts on the right after you go up the stairs. Scan your ticket before you go in.

The chocolate tour has an audio guide you can get before you enter. It’s possible to get audio guides in English, German, French, and Italian. You’ll learn more about chocolate’s origins and how it made its way to Europe and Switzerland with the audio guide. The best part is you can go at your own pace.

The Lindt Chocolate Museum also offers personal guided tours. The tour lasts 90 minutes and can be booked in English or German. The cost of a personal tour is higher than simply using an audio guide.

Lindt Home of Chocolate: Origins of Chocolate

The Lindt Home of Chocolate is the best place to learn what happens before the chocolate is made. How and where is chocolate harvested? Where do cocoa trees grow? You’ll get to know the chocolate story during this in-depth tour.  

During the tour, you’ll learn about cocoa trees and how it’s harvested from the rainforest. In the next section, you are introduced to the history of chocolate in Mesoamerica, through Europe, and into our modern-day lives. Discover the Swiss chocolate pioneers and how chocolate became a Swiss staple.

You’ll get to see exactly how chocolate is processed and prepared at the end in the technical unit .

Lindt Home of Chocolate Tasting Area

Probably the best part of visiting Lindt Home of Chocolate is tasting chocolate. Among the chocolates you’ll find are dark, milk, white, and chocolates mixed with salt, caramel, etc. There are many different varieties to test here.

Dark, milk and white chocolate will flow from three chocolate fountains . Pick a plastic spoon and pull the faucet to get a drip of chocolate. Pre-made chocolate bars are also available in the other containers. You can get a slice if you want.

You can also get Lindor chocolate balls in flavors like Milk Chocolate, Strawberries, Cream, White, and Salted Caramel.

Lindt Home of Chocolate: A Fun Destination Near Zurich

The Lindt Home of Chocolate is a fun destination for all ages, especially in and around Zurich. Here is a quick summary of what you can expect at Lindt Home of Chocolate :

LINDT HOME OF CHOCOLATE

Schokoladenplatz 1 8802 Kilchberg Switzerland

The most impressive chocolate fountain in the world

The Lindt Home of Chocolate welcomes visitors with a highlight towering over them at over nine meters tall: the most impressive chocolate fountain in the world. The seemingly weightless construction holds 1,400 kg of real chocolate and is the perfect start to the incomparable experience at the Lindt Home of Chocolate. See it for yourself and experience the fantastic chocolate fountain in the chocolate museum.

An emblem of the chocolate country of Switzerland

1,400 kg of chocolate and a touch of magic

We have dedicated our impressive chocolate fountain to all chocolate lovers, and especially to our Master Chocolatiers. This spectacular and magical chocolate fountain enchants young and old.

Facts & figures

As weightless as the chocolate fountain may seem, a lot of construction, planning and material has gone into it. It weighs a total of three tons, including 1,400 liters of fine chocolate. This flows through the fountain at a speed of one kilo per second. To make this possible, pipes with a total length of 94 meters were laid inside the chocolate fountain, which is exactly 9.3 meters high.

9 Family-Friendly Things To Do In Switzerland

S witzerland is a wonderful country with plenty to offer all its visitors, regardless of age. It’s a great destination for families traveling together because its most popular places include plenty of fun activities for both older and younger visitors. 

Museums with special tours for children, vast parks, amusement centers, and themed hiking trails are just some of the few exciting adventures families can undertake together. Here’s everything you need to know about the best family-friendly activities in various parts of Switzerland!

Things to do in Switzerland

Lindt home of chocolate (zurich).

The Lindt Home of Chocolate near Zurich is one of the best destinations for families because it’s fun for kids and adults. Children will love the endless chocolate tastings, colorful pralines, and chocolate fountains. You could seriously make yourself sick from chocolate here!

At the same time, adults learn about the history of chocolate and the process of making delicious treats from cacao beans. 

Lindt has done a fantastic job with the building and the museum. Not only is there a huge chocolate fountain in the foyer and a cinema down the end, it is host to the largest Lindt chocolate shop I have ever seen in Switzerland! So, get your credit card ready, as you won’t leave empty-handed.

Chocolate-making workshops are also available at this museum and are suitable for children and adults. Best of all, you can keep anything you make at the workshops. 

If you’re staying near Zurich, the Lindt Home of Chocolate is accessible by bus, train, and boat. 

Wow Museum in Zurich

The WOW Museum is another of my favorite museums for kids in Zurich. It is focused on visual illusions, and it’s incredibly fun for both children and adults alike. I found my godson had the most fun with the interactive exhibits, like the room of mirrors, the kaleidoscope, and the upside-down rooms. At the same time, we also enjoyed the illusions scattered throughout the museum. He will be ready for the more complicated stuff in a few years too!

Most of the exhibits at the WOW Museum are interactive and meant to be touched, except for the paintings on the walls. There are also countless photograph opportunities, so you can create unique memories to forever serve as a reminder of your family trip to Switzerland. 

The museum even has a special exhibit for children under six, created because it is not yet possible to perceive illusions at such a young age. Willow, the museum imp, has four hiding places throughout the museum, and children are encouraged to look for them and create their own illusions. 

JungfrauPark Interlaken

Take your kids to the Jungfrau Park in Interlaken if you want to keep them busy for an entire day while you are in the Jungfrau region. This is the largest indoor/outdoor park in the Bernese Oberland, with countless fun things for kids. The park is suitable for all children up to 10 years of age with multiple playgrounds, climbing frames, pedal karts, and slides. 

There’s also an arcade center where kids can play all sorts of games, making the parents wish they were 10 again. While the children are running around having loads of fun, you can take advantage of the sun loungers on those sunnier days, or just hang out at the on-site restaurant. 

Sledding at Chäserrugg

Chäserrugg is a mountain summit in northeastern Switzerland, easily accessible from Zurich, Chur, and St. Gallen. Head to the Wildhaus-Alt St Johann village in winter, where you can enjoy the ride a funicular to the summit

The mountain is quite the highlight for the adrenaline junkie (or those that like a little speed) because it features one of the longest sledding runs in all of Switzerland . It’s 5.9 kilometers, but it can be split into two sections. The upper section of the run is steeper and not the ideal activity for very young children. But it will be super fun if your kids are a bit older. 

The lower section of the run is nowhere near as steep. It’s much safer and great for very young kids, but it doesn’t get as much snow as the upper section so it’s not always open. 

Globi’s Treasure Hunt Trail in Engelberg 

The Alpine town of Engelberg is very popular with outdoor enthusiasts, and if your family enjoys hanging out together while exploring natural attractions, this is the place to be in Switzerland. There are loads of things to do in the area from golfing to rock climbing, but kids will enjoy Globi’s Treasure Hunt the best. 

It’s a hiking trail led by Globi, an iconic Swiss cartoon character. The trail is straightforward; it’s mostly downhill and takes an average of an hour and 15 minutes to complete. Globi’s Treasure Hunt is suitable for children as young as three, so there’s nothing to worry about regarding the technical difficulty of the trail. 

Before they embark upon the hike, kids can have fun at the huge playground that features a waterpark, an alpine slide, and a trampoline, among other things. This is at the beginning of the trail, and then they will be given treasure maps and set out on the trail to search for hidden treasures with Globi.

Museum of Communication Bern

The Museum of Communication in Bern is the perfect destination for tech-savvy families. If your children are already into robots and computers, they will absolutely love this museum. The same goes for any adults accompanying them. 

The museum focuses on different modes of communication and features exhibits on everything from the earliest post offices to futuristic video calls. It’s incredibly interesting, and they’ve even got interactive tours for kids led by their mascot, Ratatösk. The museum’s Core Exhibition is suitable for toddlers, and there are plenty of interactive exhibits even the youngest visitors can enjoy. 

The museum is not only super fun but also highly educational. If you want to spend some quality time as a family but also learn something in the process, this is a great place in Bern. 

Churwalden Toboggan Run

The Churwalden Toboggan Run is the longest of its kind in Switzerland. It’s a sled on rails, so it can be done in either summer or winter, provided the weather conditions allow it. Despite being the longest toboggan run in Switzerland, it’s not as dangerous as it sounds. In fact, it’s perfectly suitable for all children. 

Even younger kids are welcome to come along for the ride, and children older than eight years don’t need to be accompanied by adults. The toboggan is 3km (1.9 miles) long, and it takes 7-10 minutes to complete the entire ride. During the run, you can reach speeds up to 40 km/h, which is thrilling. Or, just use the brake a lot like my godson tends to do –  just make sure the people behind you leave a little later, or they will catch you on the way down!

Chillon Castle at Veytaux

Chillon Castle is a magnificent historical landmark in Veytaux, on the shore of Lake Geneva. It’s a popular destination for day trips from Montreux, Vevey, and even as far as Geneva, so don’t miss out on this gem when you’re traveling through the south-west of Switzerland. 

The castle and its history are absolutely fascinating. Visitors can tour all the rooms in the castle, most of which are thematically organized. Children are given special handouts with room descriptions upon entrance. The dungeons and the weapons room tend to be the most interesting for the younger visitors, while adults usually enjoy the entire experience. 

Additionally, Chillon Castle often hosts children-focused events, including family days, discovery tours with costumed guides, and even treasure hunts in the castle. Their website is frequently updated with information on upcoming events, so be sure to check what’s happening at the castle prior to your visit. 

Sensorium near Bern 

The Sensorium in Walkringen is easily accessible by public transport and car from Bern. It’s a museum with interactive exhibits meant to stimulate all of your five senses. Children are encouraged to touch most of the exhibits, and there are a lot of areas where they are free to roam around and play. 

Just be aware that most explanations in the museum are in French or German, so it can be a bit tricky to understand what’s going on if the kids don’t understand the language. However, I find that just using Google Translate solves most of those problems! And, nearly all exhibits are meant to be experienced visually or physically, and there’s actually very little text to be read anyway. 

For those who need it, there is a big outdoor playground near the museum entrance including a very long slide, swings, and climbers.
