Ben and
Jerry's factory tours are a great way to gain a new appreciation for
all the hard work that goes into their ice cream production process.
 The
factory tours take place at the Ben & Jerry's Factory in Waterbury,
Vermont. The tour begins with a "Moovie" and usually a cow joke from
the tour guide. The movie shows the history and progress of the Ben
& Jerry's Ice Cream as well as some interesting facts about their
company and products. After the movie you are brought through their
factory to view their production and packaging areas. No pictures
are allowed during this part of the tour. The production area is
demonstrated by a few TV screens and the tour guide as well as
lights on the equipment and machines that make the ice cream that
are lit up when the tour guide is speaking about each part of the
ice cream making process. This part of the tour you are above the
production floor, looking down at the operations taking place.
TIP: If
you want to see the employees making ice cream, be sure to avoid
going on a weekend as ice cream is not made at this factory on
weekends. You may also want to call Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream
factory to be sure they are making ice cream on the day that you
want to take their factory tour. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream can be
reached at:
802-882-1240 or toll
free (866) BJ-TOURS). You can also check out the latest Ben &
Jerry's Ice Cream factory tour hours, schedule, fees and whether or
not they are making ice cream on certain days
here. They are pretty good about keeping their website current.
TIP:
Don't forget to bring pennies and quarters! Ben & Jerry's has a
penny squashing machine that imprints images onto the penny. Getting
pennies from the cashiers can take a long time as the lines in the
gift shop can be very long.
