About Ben & Jerry's Factory

The Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury, built in 1985, is the only one of the company's factories open to the public. The guided tour runs about 30 minutes, starting with a short film on the company, then a glassed-in mezzanine above the production floor and a sample of ice cream at the end. Outside you'll find a playground, mountain views and the Flavor Graveyard honoring discontinued flavors. The scoop shop, gift shop and grounds can be visited without a tour ticket.
