Facility:

Jelly Belly Candy Company

Description:

Step into the factory and smell the aroma of chocolate, apricot, cinnamon or pineapple, whatever is being cooked up that day. A visit to this candy making factory in Fairfield, Calif., located about an hour's drive north of San Francisco, is a sugary delight.

During the 40-minute walking tour, Jelly Belly guides will show you a real working factory where they cook up over 150 different sweet treats. Learn the secrets to how they create the legendary Jelly Belly bean, and discover why it takes more than a week to make a single bean. See taffy, chocolates, and wild gummi critters in the making, too.

Back in the Visitor Center after the tour, more good times await visitors. Taste for yourself any of the candies and Jelly Belly beans at the Sampling Bar. An exhibition candy kitchen makes hand-dipped chocolates and seasonal sweets, all within view of visitors.

The Jelly Belly Visitor Center is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, and factory tours operate daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Easter Sunday. They may also be closed the day before or after these holidays. Please call to verify dates and hours of operation before planning a visit.

Tours run throughout the day approximately every 15 minutes. No reservations are required.

Each tour lasts approximately 40 minutes and is a guided walking tour through our large factory.

On weekends, they still conduct the full 40-minute factory tours, but since the candy makers are at home with their families, they give our candy making machines a rest. Video monitors show the different steps of the famous candy making process.

Fantastic tour for the entire family! You learn the history of the Jelly Belly and see how it's actually formed on the production line,an interesting and fun step-by-step process. The tour takes place around the factory on an overhead catwalk that has special cut-out windows for little ones to see what's happening also. You get paper production line hats like your a real employee as a fun keepsake. They have a family friendly resturant and a fantastic candy store with a free tasting bar where you can sample different beans. I can't recommend this enough. You may even see a robot on the production line wave to you!

A fun trip for kids and adults alike. We enjoyed viewing the jelly bean murals and the factory tour.
