Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour
(Waterbury,
Vermont)
Excerpts from Kristy:
This
place is packed to the rafters. The road leading to the factory
is the only place that traffic even exists in Waterbury. To
park all of these cars, Ben & Jerry just kept expanding.
After
climbing a few gigantic hills you may find parking in outer
Siberia Strawberry land. Ben & Jerry were nice enough
to build attractions on the way up to these lots including
the flavor graveyard, where they bury all of their discontinued
flavors.
Inside the gift shop where you await your tour are boatloads
of people and screaming kids. The tour itself is great with
odd little details about Ben & Jerry's and what happens
to the factory seconds (the workers get to take home 3 pints
a day). Yes, you do indeed get a few samples, although be
forewarned they're very small.
