What a wonderful place to learn about the making of Swiss Chocolate. The touring area is a Willy Wonka style, children's paradise with many interactive activities. The "big kids" will enjoy too. Chocolate tasting opportunities are available with excellent results. There is a workshop to make your own chocolate bar at the end. I am not sure of the cost because we had a private tour with a cruise group that included the activity in a separate room. Really a fun activity. We did not use the phone app available for an audio tour because we had a guide with us but heard it worked pretty well and is available in English. There are hand sanitizing stations everywhere and readily available before tasting opportunities. Most people are not wearing a mask so if you feel more comfortable with one would recommend an N95 for optimal protection.

The Chocolarium was part of a day trip from Zurich. The tour of the site started with a well made video of the Maestrani family that started the chocolate factory. Once you complete the video there is a small "walking museum" with many hands-on activities (well suited for children) and finally near the end of the tour you get to see the packaging room where wrapped chocolates are deposited in dispensers for the taking and tasting. After the walking tour, you have a chance to enter the gift shop and purchase some gifts and chocolates. Since "food safety" requirements are quite strict in Switzerland, you actually are not allowed onsite when the chocolate is processed and packaged - that was a bit disappointing.

I liked the way they let us see the chocolate factory. People working down and see how the chocolate wrapped up. First you will see a little movie then you can see how chocolate come to Switzerland. You also can taste 3 different chocolate. Them you can do your own decorated chocolate, you need to purchase first. The downside was for me...a tons of kids...but a lots of them and I felt the rooms were too small in this case....at the decoration room...oh my gosh.. it felt like q packed playground. Maybe because it was already vacation time from school...I don't know. It was middle of the week in the afternoon. You can also try samples during the "tour ". You can buy in the end a lot chocolate.

Fantastic! A must visit if you like chocolate. The tour details quite well the way the different ingredients take before they get turnes into chocolate. It's presented in a very entertaining way to that people of all ages are easily able to understand the tour. I was there on a Saturday so I could not see the factory running but the videos and graphics still explained everything quite well. Highlight of the tour is the self-made chocolate. Absolutely worth every cent. Would reconsider going back just for that (although paying the entrance fee on top might be too expensive for just one very good bar of chocolate).

Wonderful place with a set of great people. As their slogan goes, the place is all about happiness. The people out there are happy and they know how to make sure that you actually leave the place feeling quite happy. Great chocolates and we do get lot of free samples and the price at the factory stores is relatively low. You have a great view of the Swiss country side with cows grazing happily and lot of friendly people around. You would not learn much about chocolate making processes with the visit but it definitely is a great and memorable experience.

2020 júniusában látogattunk el a svájci Maestrani's Csokoládéüzembe. Hát először is, isteni csokiillat terjengett a levegőben! A másik, ami nagyon tetszett, amikor a mozivászon mögött kinyílt a csokibirodalom ajtaja, az vicces volt :) a harmadik, ami bejött, hogy a csokiboltjukban nincsenek elszállva az áraktól, megfizethető áron kínálják a finomabbnál-finomabb svájci csokijukat. Maga a csokiüzem egyébként nem sok látnivalót kínál, igazából a plafon formája, a csokikocka alakú padok, valamint a padló fekete-fehér csokimintája volt a legizgalmasabb számomra. Csalódás: az igazi csokiüzemet nem lehet fényképezni. Értem én, hogy fontosak a személyiségi jogok, de én sem a dolgozókat szerettem volna lekapni, hanem esetleg egy nagy adag csokimasszát... az igazán szép látvány lett volna! Helyette a kínai integetős-macskás-katicabogaras-szerencsepatkós-kék szemes teremben hátul lehet csokit kóstolgatni egy kiskanállal, amennyi csak jólesik. Van tejcsoki-fehércsoki-és étcsoki szökőkút, szó se róla, finom! Ja, meg a csokiüzem folyósólyán lehet venni a csokikból. Végül, de nem utolsó sorban plusz pénzért csinálhatunk magunknak saját Maestraniˇs csokit, kidíszíthetjük kedvünk szerint, ezt a gyerekeknek érdemes bevállalni, jó kis szórakozás nekik. A végén már csak meg kell várni, amíg egy gép megszárítja a műveket. Igazán szép a végeredmény, ráadásul saját munka! Ne feledjétek el lefotózni, mielőtt másnap megeszitek. Igazából megéri ide eljönni, de csak egyszer. Esetleg külön csokiért betérni, mert azt is lehet. A mi látogatásunkról tettem fel képet is.
