The Lindt Home of Chocolate takes guests on a journey with an interactive museum exploring “the world of chocolate.” From cultivation to production, the cocoa bean that gifts the world with chocolate is the star of the story. The exhibits will educate visitors about the history of Swiss chocolate making, highlighting Lindt alongside its famous predecessors.
The Home of Chocolate also features several attractions to keep chocolate lovers engaged. At the Lindt chocolateria, guests can create their own delightful confections during a chocolate-making class. Additionally, the research facility offers an inside look at the Lindt production process. A Lindt cafe is available to help guests cleanse their palate and refuel for further exploration.
Unlike at Willy Wonka’s factory, guests here are encouraged to take the delectable treats home. This is easy to do, as the building also houses the world’s largest Lindt chocolate shop. While the maze of white, milk, and dark chocolates is impressive, the Lindt Home of Chocolate boasts another record: the world’s largest chocolate fountain. Standing at about 30 feet tall, this show-stopping fountain surpasses the previous record-holder by just a few feet. It’s also the centerpiece welcoming guests at the entrance, setting the tone for the wonderfully chocolaty experience ahead.
The Lindt and Sprüngli factory has stood in Kilchberg, Zürich since 1899. The Lindt Home of Chocolate — a project seven years in the making — was designed to perfectly complement that historic building and to serve as a beacon to chocolate lovers everywhere.
