If it’s always been your dream to step inside a real-life Willy Wonka-style factory, then you’re in luck.
All you need to do is book a trip to Zurich, where Swiss chocolatier Lindt has opened the largest chocolate museum in the world.
If that wasn’t impressive enough, the venue also features a 30ft free-standing chocolate fountain. The show-stopping spectacle includes more than 1,500kg of real melted chocolate, which flows over a giant Lindor ball.
The 65,000-square-foot Lindt Home of Chocolate museum is home to interactive exhibitions, the world’s largest Lindt chocolate shop and a ‘Chocolateria’ to create your own inventions. There’s also a cafe and tasting room called ‘Chocolate Heaven,’ which serves treats including a chilli and Tabasco hot chocolate, as well savoury dishes such as salads, toasties and quiches.
Elsewhere, there’s a chocolate history room which includes a ‘digitally interactive panoramic wall and round media table’, so guests can see how the cocoa bean has been cultivated to become one of the world’s favourite’s treats.
Visitors can also watch the creation process of Lindt chocolate, which starts by turning beans into cocoa liquor, then into liquid chocolate, before they are made into bars and pralines.
There’s even the option to design your own chocolate bar and take away a signature Lindt ball at the gift shop.
Tickets to Lindt’s Home of Chocolate museum start at 15 francs (around £12) for adults and 10 (£8.50) for kids.
The only thing worth pointing out is that Switzerland remains on the UK quarantine list, so any trip to the country will result in a two-week isolation (although, arguably worth it for that incredible chocolate fountain?).
In other Lindt news, the chocolatier has launched a new sharing tin of Lindor chocolate truffles for Christmas.
Lindt sure knows how to please us.
