Everyone was so happy Lindt finally opened a chocolate museum at its Kilchberg factory near Zürich. Their interactive museum is beautiful and very educational, with an immense amount of information both on displays and through the audio guide.

Location: Seestrasse 204, 8802 Kilchberg

Tickets: You should book tickets in advance as they sell out, especially on weekends. Book here.

We liked the multiple chocolate tasting stations through the museum, including chocolate fountains and a dispenser where you have to guess the chocolate flavor. They also offer chocolate making workshops, which are particularly popular for holidays like Christmas and Easter where you make the signature bear and bunny shaped chocolates.

Although there are a few games for kids (and an audio guide specifically kids), it’s not the most entertaining chocolate experience for kids. We might suggest Chocolarium instead.

How to get there

The Lindt chocolate factory is located at Seestrasse 204, 8802 Kilchberg. The best way to get there from Zurich is by bus or boat. The closest train station is a 10 min walk.

By bus: From the Zurich Bürkliplatz bus stop, take bus 165 to Kilchberg ZH, Lindt & Sprüngli. The factory is across the street. It's a 15 min ride and buses pick up about every 15 mins.

By boat: From the Zürich Bürkliplatz dock, ride the boat to Kilchberg ZH boat dock. It takes about 27 mins. The boat is free with the Zürich Card. Both the "Kleine Seerundfahrt" and "Grosse Seerundfahrt" boat tours drop at Kilchberg. In summer, boats go about every 30 mins. See current timetable.

By train: From Zürich HB, ride the S8 or S24 train to Kilchberg ZH. Then a 10 min walk to the factory.
