Machines, missions and discovery: a look inside The Chocolate Factory in Veghel
A factory tower more than thirty metres high, filled with machines, conveyor belts and buttons you can actually use. The Chocolate Factory in Veghel is the kind of place where children immediately say “wow” the moment they walk in.
Here you do not only look around; you go on an adventure yourself. Together you start at the top of the tower and work your way down, floor by floor, while carrying out different missions.
Along the way you follow how chocolate sprinkles move through the factory, operate machines and use digital tools to keep production going. Think of touchscreens, smart systems and even VR headsets that show how technology and food production come together.
You also get to work yourself. You can design your own pack of chocolate sprinkles and create a food bar of the future. Everything is about discovering, trying and understanding how a modern factory works.
A surprising and interactive outing for curious children who like to know how things really work.
A chocolate factory where you take the controls yourself
The Chocolate Factory on the Noordkade in Veghel is housed in a former factory where animal feed was once produced. Today it is an interactive attraction where technology and chocolate meet.
During your visit you go on a mission together and complete several assignments. You learn how ingredients turn into chocolate products, use digital tools and discover how a real factory operates. Everything is designed to let children explore, experiment and, above all, do things themselves.
Ending with hot chocolate on the roof
At the top of the tower you will find Floor 10, a rooftop bar with a view over the surroundings. This is where you can relax after completing all the missions.
You can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate made by a robot while looking out over a view that on a clear day stretches all the way to Eindhoven and Den Bosch.
It is a place where children can explore, experiment and learn through play how technology works, and where parents secretly walk around just as curiously as they do.
Tip: make it a complete day out
The Chocolate Factory is located on the Noordkade in Veghel, a creative hotspot where old industry has been given a new life. You will also find a cinema, a theatre and several restaurants and cafés.
