• Book a time slot online, since museum slots are limited and sell out fastest on weekends and holidays
• A kids' audio tour in English or German plays on your own phone; plan 60 to 90 minutes for the route
• Chocolate-making courses for kids 5 to 12 with an adult are booked separately and go on sale about a month ahead

The museum sits next to the historic Lindt factory, where chocolate has been made since 1899. A 9.3-meter fountain holding 1,400 kg of chocolate greets visitors as they arrive.

The audio-guided route follows cocoa from farms in Ghana to the Swiss chocolate pioneers, with tasting stations along the way and a pilot plant showing how bars are made. Kids get an audio tour of their own.
