Lindt has opened an official chocolate museum in Zurich, Switzerland.

The public is invited inside to take part in some interactive experiences.

The massive museum features a 16,000 square-foot exhibit on the history of chocolate, a tasting room, an open-view production line, classes on chocolate making and the world’s largest Lindt Chocolate Shop. The pièce de résistance is a 30-foot fountain spewing “real melted chocolate” onto a huge Lindor simulated truffle.

The Lindt Home of Chocolate is located near the factory, which has operated in the same town since 1899.

Adults are about $17 and children under 7 are free.
