Lindt To Open Willy Wonka-Style Chocolate Museum And Tour
Due to open on 13 September, the interactive attraction will let visitors into Lindt’s wonderful world of chocolate
Lindt Home of Chocolate Foyer
Lindt is launching a brand new chocolate museum and tour experience this week, and it sounds like Willy Wonka would be very proud indeed. In the foyer of the museum, you'll find the world's highest free-standing chocolate fountain, measuring 9.3 metres high and circulating 1,000 litres of liquid chocolate - all flowing from a huge, hovering wire whisk down into a Lindor ball on the ground.
