Visit a chocolate factory: Our trip to Alprose in Switzerland
Activities: We visited the chocolate factory. We saw the production from above and learned about the history of chocolate. We were given waffle cookies to dip in the chocolate fountain and enjoyed a tasting of many different chocolate products. We also bought souvenirs in the shop
Highlights: The kids loved the chocolate fountain! "We were allowed to dip waffle cookies in it twice!" The tasting room was a hit as well. The engineering-minded child enjoyed seeing the machinery in action. The young ones were more interested in the tasting ✨
