We paid an agency to visit the long before we arrived in Switzerland. Although I didn't know exactly, I expected a lot when I arrived, when I saw that it was a company with more than 170 years of tradition. As I found out at the beginning, it wasn't a guided tour. I admit that I didn't understand much of what was on the walls and to be honest, it didn't even appeal to me. The whole thing seems to me to be more intended for and young people. I don't know if I should consider it a good thing that you could get some chocolates with your skillful fingers. The was certainly very short, at least for me. For the children, making your own with decorations was certainly interesting. The most "funny" thing I found was that the entire and production were out of order. So I didn't really see anything of what I came for!? The Chocolarium was part of a day trip from Zurich. The of the site started with a well made video of the Maestrani family that started the 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 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 is processed and packaged - that was a bit disappointing. The visit to Maestrani provided a good look into the chocolate-making process, from raw ingredients to the final product. The was informative, and there were several tasting opportunities. We left with a sugar shock 😉 The itself feels very commercial and has a lot, a real lot of kids. The shop offers a wide selection, though a stop for those interested in Swiss chocolate. Really well made area. Had a wily wonky and layout inside. Nit going to give away any details as it's always more fun to enjoy a place as a surprise. clean and tidy everywhere and neat to see details in area if production while also seeing the production itself from birds eye view from above on platform. sample areas are well worth it and cleanly organized. Definitely worth the visit. and the selection to purchase Is great in entry/ exit area too for purchasing. enjoy all! 🤤🤤🤤🍫🍫🍫 It's pretty nice place, mainly for children. The whole thing is for 1 hour, after that you can either make your own chocolate, which is pretty amazing or buy some in the shop. One star less due to huge potential to make it even more interesting :) You can eat all the free you want on the tour... And they have many different kinds... including six different flavored fountains (fully enclosed and totally hygienic by the way). The can design their own bars. Great fun! Fun, cute and positive. They put some love on making screens and viewing areas informative and fun. Many museums exist, but they managed to make it different. Of course the multiple samples help but it’s worth visiting to support a local brand and get truly unique gifts. Would gladly come back and recommend to any visit near St Gallen. Chocolarium is mainly suited for young children, but I did not find it particularly interesting. There is nothing especially unique or memorable, and you cannot see the actual production. Entry is only possible in reserved time slots, and there are several bottlenecks—such as the small cinema area—that limit how many people can enter at once. Unfortunately, the staff at the cashier were not very friendly either. Overall, it may be enjoyable for families with small kids, but for adults or visitors expecting more insight or a smoother experience, it feels underwhelming. Really fun, kid friendly museum. We did both Lindt and this one, and enjoyed this one significantly more. We made our own bars and the entire process for us was just shy of 90 mins. It was not busy the day we went. I agree with the suggestion of a restaurant and park near by. Even just a slice of pizza or chicken tenders would help. We did this as a day trip from Zurich, and the train schedule doesn’t really allow for grabbing anything at the stations. Cute place to start your day with young kids. Whole including making precess takes 1hour 20 minutes. Chocolate tasting absolutely the highlight for the kids, also all the way to try free samples. There's also Wardrobe you can hang your jacket or a locker to put your items. Token you could just ask at the cashier. Indoor parking is just by the entrance. Small cafeteria next to cashier too. Great with the kids. We had an unforgettable at the Chocolarium! From the moment we arrived, the passion for was palpable. The interactive was both entertaining and educational, offering fascinating insights into the chocolate-making process. Watching the live production through the glass gallery was truly unique and captivating. The highlight for us was the “Room of Individual Happiness” with its variety of fountains-especially the pink raspberry and vegan options-which made tasting so much fun. Creating and decorating our own bars was a fantastic hands-on activity that everyone enjoyed. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and the café and shop offered delicious treats and wonderful gift ideas. I would highly recommend the Chocolarium to anyone looking for a sweet, fun, and memorable outing. Visited from the UK, where we've already enjoyed just about every the UK has to offer, so our expectations for a chocolate-themed attraction are already pretty high. This one is really special, though! The Chocolarium is very interactive, making it great for - a good blend of education, fun and a little bit of magic. The samples were delicious, and myself and my 10 year old were completely in awe of the last bit of the where you can see so many different elements of the at work - that's an that hasn't existed in the UK for a long time, but took me back to what Cadbury World used to be like when I was a child, before it became an overly-commercialised visitor attraction. My daughter also loved that the moment we stepped off the train it felt like the began, following the signs for the 'Chocolate Way' through Flawil's streets and countryside. Not an overly-long walk, and the excitement builds as you walk through the field with the getting closer! We liked how the was completely self-led so we could go at our own pace, and at the end my daughter really enjoyed decorating her own bar. It's also worth saying that the shop at the end is VERY fairly priced, so I couldn't resist buying a few souvenirs, and both the chocolates and jelly sweets are probably the best I've ever tasted so I wish I'd had space in my hand luggage for even more! We combined our short break trip to the Chocolarium with a visit to the Lindt Factory, which was a very different kind of experience. We loved both, but if you could only do one I would really, really recommend prioritising The Chocolarium. It's something extra-special! The Chocolarium is a fun, informative and interactive with lots to do. I would say the is suited to 3-9 year olds and the whole takes around 1.5 hours. It’s well planned out with lots of complimentary along the way. The store at the end offers an opportunity to take away a sweet treat. It would be nice for there to be a restaurant or a playground for as there is nothing in the vicinity but still a nice well thought through adventure for Fun, interactive, play-based learning-style museum about chocolate. enjoyed decorating their own chocolates. Many samples available as you walk around the museum path.
