Overrated. Best ice cream in the world in 1981 but the world has moved on since then. The tour us ok but I went in the evening when most if the machines had been shut down for the day and so it was not so fun. Beware that there are loud noises and machine /plastic smells throughout the tour. They only show you the filling and packaging part of the factory. I was interested to see how the ice cream was actually made. One thing I got out of the tour us how much wastage modern processing plants have. If I were a milk cow I would be rather furious. Then again I'm guessing its the same for other industries. The ice cream is pretty standard, nothing really to shout about. But its a nice rest stop if you are on a road trip. You have to pay for the tour but get a 'free' ice cream at the end. No photographs allowed during the tour.
