ALTERNATIVE MUSEUMS IN ZURICH


For a different type of museum, why not go to the Lindt & Sprungli chocolate factory which is south of the centre. The chocolate museum is free and one also gets lovely free chocolate and a small history of the factory and the secret way of making this tasty product. A short film is also screened free of charge.

There is also a coffee museum here in Zurich called the Johann Jacobs Museum which will tell you everything about the coffee bean, the coffee pot and also a display about the world of coffee.

There is also a special Swiss Craft Centre which hosts plenty of arts and crafts and folk art from around Switzerland.
The kids would also like to visit the Zurich Toy Museum which hosts a huge selection of Swiss toys from down through the centuries.

A short excursion on the train outside of Zurich will bring you to Utliberg. Here there is an amazing two hour Planetary Path tour along the mountain edge which overlooks all the models of the planets in the entire solar system. This is very impressive and is on a scale of one to 1000 million. There is a fantastic view of Felsenegg lake from the mountain ridge.
