We took the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour in Waterbury, Vermont in early August 2025 while staying at the Lone Pine Campsites RV Park in Colchester about 40-minutes away.
This was a fun 30-minute guided tour of the original Ben & Jerry’s factory that produces about 400,000 pints of ice cream per day. The tour included a short film about the company, explanation of the production process from a mezzanine overlooking the production area, and free samples of cookie dough bites, and Americone Dream ice cream.
The tour started and ended in the lobby where there was also a souvenir store. We finished outside on the patio at the Scoop Shop where we each enjoyed a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cone. On the way back to the parking lot, we walked through the Flavor Graveyard, where some of the less successful and discontinued ice cream flavors are memorialized.
If you want a chance to feel like Charlie Bucket at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, we recommend taking this tour!
