visiting a Ben & Jerry’s 🫶✨

New York
2025/1/13 Edited to

... Read moreHey fellow ice cream lovers! I know many of you, just like me when I was planning my 'come with me to Ben & Jerry's' adventure, often wonder: 'Does Ben & Jerry's provide a tour of its facilities?' It's a super common question, and after my own recent visit, I've got the scoop for you! Yes, they absolutely do! The legendary Ben & Jerry's factory tour is located in Waterbury, Vermont, and it's an experience every ice cream enthusiast should try. It's not just about seeing where the magic happens; it's a journey into the brand's history, their commitment to social missions, and of course, a taste of some delicious ice cream. During the Ben & Jerry's tour, you typically start with a short, fun film about the company's origins and values. Then, you get to peek into the production room (through windows, usually, for hygiene reasons!) to see the actual ice cream making process. My favorite part? The 'Flavor Graveyard' outside, where retired flavors are honored with witty headstones – it's a must-see! And of course, the best part is the tasting room where you get to sample a special flavor of the day. It truly makes the entire visit feel like a 'fun cream' experience in itself, filled with joy and deliciousness. If you're thinking about taking the Ben & Jerry's tour, I highly recommend checking their official website for current operating hours and to book tickets in advance, especially during peak seasons. Tours can fill up fast! It's a relatively short and sweet experience, usually lasting about 30 minutes, but packed with information and fun. Don't forget to visit the gift shop for some exclusive merchandise and, of course, the onsite scoop shop for your favorite flavors. Remember, this factory tour is different from just popping into a local Ben & Jerry's scoop shop for a cone, though both experiences are fantastic in their own right! While 'Amfun Cream' isn't an official Ben & Jerry's product name you'll find, the fun and creamy experience is exactly what their brand is all about! From innovative flavors to their unique cow-themed branding, every aspect of Ben & Jerry's is designed to bring joy. Whether you're indulging in a classic like Cherry Garcia or trying a new limited-edition pint, it's always an 'amfun' treat. So, whether you're embarking on the full factory tour or just grabbing a scoop, get ready for a truly delightful Ben & Jerry's experience!
