Zürcher Kerzenziehen — candle dipping on Hechtplatz

Ages 0–2, 3–6, 7+

What to expect

At Hechtplatz, kids and adults make beeswax candles by dipping a wick into warm wax again and again until it grows. It’s slow, hands-on work, so plan enough time for the candle to build up and cool. Children of any age can join in, though small kids need an adult right next to them around the hot wax.

Good to know
