Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour (Waterbury, Vermont)
On my road trip from Boston to Montreal, we passed by the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory in Waterbury, Vermont (close to Burlington) so we made a quick pit stop for a factory tour!
The factory is a fun place with colorful and playful decorations and touches all over the place.
The tour typically costs $4 but here's a tip: if you check in on Foursquare, you'll get a free tour! The factories aren't always in production, however, but you can still see where the ice cream is made. We caught them during the cleaning period so we didn't see the machines in action. Oh, well. They do a deep cleaning every time they change the flavor they're making.
First part of the tour was a video of the history of the company, which they've made to be quite entertaining.
