Take A Sweet Trip To California's Jelly Belly Factory

Become an informed consumer while still on vacation! Check out Jaunted's newest series of the Best Factory Tours the world over.

Former president and California resident Ronald Reagan famously offered Jelly Belly jelly beans to all his White House guests. Make your home a model of that hospitality at the Jelly Belly Factory Tour in Fairfield, CA with a sugar-rush-sized tour which ends in mouth-watering goodies.

On weekdays visitors can watch real Jelly Bellys being made on the factory floor; weekend visitors get an unintentionally funny production video of the same process from the back of a miniature train. Take in the sights on a miniature train, and just as the whines for tasty treats from the caboose get to be too much, you get dumped off in the factory store where multi-pound bags of "Belly Flops," or jelly beans that failed quality control but in non-dangerous ways, are foisted on visitors at rock-bottom prices. As long as you don't particularly care what flavor you're getting, you can enjoy a bag of Belly Flops for minutes of satisfaction.

Jelly Belly has a similar visitor center in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin but since no jelly beans are actually manufactured there, the tour is somewhat less exciting. (But the Belly Flops are still delicious.)
