Ben and Jerry's Factory Reviews

Literally the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. Be careful of the long lines!!

Really fun free playground for kids. I didn't think the tour was worth it. Just use the $4 to buy an ice cream.

3rd visit and it's still fun. Brought my daughter for the first time and she loved the flavor graveyard.

Tour good. Free ice cream at the end of the tour... priceless

Busy tourist destination. Bring your camera, lots to do! I recommend the ice cream graveyard.

Fun little tour they have here. I loved all the cow jokes. And of course, the ice cream is delicious!

I would have liked the tour to be more in-depth. The sample at the end was a nice touch. Fun for kids.

The factory is closed on weekends so if going for the tour, go during the week. Good ice cream.

Come on its Ben and Jerry's. The tour was excellent and free ice cream at the end.

A lot of fun. Not to many activities for the family. Of course delicious. Was pretty neat to check it out.

Drop and hook for me. Was ready when I arrived. Doesn t happen often from what I understand but when it does it s great.

Disappointed a bit... wasn't nearly as spectacular as I thought it would be. Came on vacation from AZ and this was supposed to be a definite highlight. Ice Cream treats we're overpriced for families...we were "herded like cows" in long lines between posts to even get to pay for the cones...only 4 of 6 stations we're working.

They should put on the web site that there is no tour.

The tours are always fun and run every 10 minutes and the lines may be long but they move quickly! Lots of fun stuff to see and learn about Ben & Jerry's around the grounds too!

Fun simple tour with ice cream at the end! Our favorite part was actually the flavor graveyard. Worth the walk up the hill!

Fun place to waste an hour of time if it s a rainy day in Stowe. It s a small fee to pay for the tour which children most likely would have no interest in. It ends with a sampling of ice cream but you can avoid that if you temperamental ones and head straight to the shop. You can purchase ice cream and goodies there. If you have expendable income and love ice cream you could do the flavor fanatic experience. I m not sure I would necessarily recommend it though. It s decent for what it is but is not worth that price point for what you re doing. Don t do it for the photo session as that will be disappointing. Half of our photos were blurry or not focused on us.

The Ben and Jerry's factory tour was short and sweet. The sample of caramel crunch swirl was even sweeter.

Fun place to learn about a very interesting company. The tour is good and the ice cream is great.

The factory tour is short but great! The store is a tad overpriced but it's worth checking out for some cute, pun-ny T shirts. Their ice cream store is good but they have the same flavours as the pints available in supermarkets.

A must-do for ice cream lovers, and a fun way to spend an hour or two for everyone else. The Ben & Jerry's factory offers plenty to do for people of all ages.

The tour itself takes about 20-30 minutes and walks you through the ice cream making process. Even though there was no production happening during our visit, it was interesting and informative. The tour guide was trained well and was funny and personable. At the end of the tour you get a small sample of one of their flavors. Of course, after the tour you can visit their shop to buy more ice cream or Ben & Jerry's merchandise.

Outside there is a playground for children and the flavor graveyard, where you can see the names of all of the flavors that were retired.

A great stop for people who love ice cream, or for families that need an activity to do.

Fun place to visit. Wish the sample at the end of the tour was a little larger. Unfortunately we did not get to see much during the tour as they were cleaning the equipment to change flavors for the next run.

Good place to pu a delivery at but can be busy .truck stop down the road 2 miles

A must visit, with kids or not. 4$ tour, free under 12, cool history. Dont forget the interesting graveyard of past flavors.

Really disappointed with the organization of this place. There are four open windows with hundreds of people in line. The staff has not clearly defined where people should queue, so it is a basic madhouse. Too bad, we've been looking forward to this experience.

Over an hour wait for the tour on a day when no production was happening. Also, what looked like a 90 min wait for ice cream. I guess just not what I expected.

Awesome place and worth a visit...they offer a tour of the facility.

Can't say anything bad about Ben and Jerry's. Best ice cream. Ever. Great service, tours, and gifts as well!!!

Was a nice trip with the family. Just wish there was no political mombo jombo injected into the tour. Other then that ice cream is delicious and was fun

I had a blast employees were friendly & ice cream was delicious! So glad I was able to make the trip as Ben & Jerry's came on the scene in 1978 as did I! Great things were created that year apparently

Great ice cream and atmosphere if you're willing to wait in line a bit.

We did not get to watch the factory run, it was cleaning day and nobody mentioned that prior to buying our tickets. The tour guide was personable and did his best to discribe how the factory runs to make ice cream.

Long lines for ice cream. I asked for real food since it was 12 when we arrived and the only thing available was the hotdog stand outside the attraction. The facade is not very pretty, it looks like an accidental spot.

A bit crowded, but it's to be expected at the ice cream motherland. Delicious ice cream, but the menu is the same as at your local scoop shop. The tour had a long wait, so we opted to skip it. Go early if you're there on a Sunday, or leave lots of time to mill around while you wait for your tour. The factory doesn't run on Saturday or Sunday, so if you want to see ice cream in production, go on a weekday. We overheard folks mentioning they got a sample of an ice cream flavor that wasn't released yet at the end of the tour, so that's fun!

I went there for ice cream not political banter. Chilled my taste for the brand.

Fun tour...cost $7/person. Tour consisted of an animated documentary about the company and a short tour of the facilty with a small tasting of a new flavor at the end. Gift shop was super pricey but expected it to be. Ice cream was out of this world and tour guide was very good. Check it out.

The tour is about 20 to 25 min . Visit the flavor graveyard. Worth it !

It's worth the little factory tour. First ice cream

Very disappointed in tour! They show a video telling about the ice cream that has big and tasty chunks of flavor. Then we get a sample of grapefruit ice cream. Really!!! No flavor at all! I will not recommend this tour to anyone!

Way ahead of their time, Ben and Jerry's company lives on in the forefront of social justice AND amazing ice cream!

The factory tour is overrated. The tour shows you a 7 min video of ben and jerry history and then another video of the ice cream making process. You will also get a top view of the factory. A small free sample at the end of the tour, which is not satisfying enough. If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth craving, the ice cream shop outside typically has a 30 min wait. Better go to a nearby grocery store and grab a tub of b&j and enjoy in peace.

Love taking the tour and the free sample at the end

Smaller than I imagined, and the tour isnt very interactive. You watch a movie, then head to where you can see the factory from above it- a lot of it isnt used all the time. But everyone was friendly, our guide had great "dad jokes/humor" and at the end you get a scoop of ice cream. We walked around the grounds after, all clean and well kept. Saw the flavor graveyard, played in the playground. Walked through the gift store. And then bought, well, ice cream! Shorter trip than I thought for a 4.5 hour drive from us. Definitely PART of a plan for the day, not the main or only thing.

Great place to see. A little crowded, but that's to be expected with a name as popular as "Ben & Jerrys"

The tour is super cheap, interesting and doesn t drone on. Plus you get a decent free ice cream sample at the end and who can beat that???

Fun, inexpensive, informative tour that ends with an ice cream sample. How can you go wrong? Good sized (free) play area for the kids. Scoop shop on site in case the sample isn't enough. Flavor Graveyard (free and self guided) is fun. Cows to visit. Ample, clean restrooms (although, that may vary on time and quantity of visitors). Nice spot to spend an afternoon. P.S. - they will have a vegan sample available at the end of the tour, but you have to ask for it - also, that was DELICIOUS!

The tour was very short and we had to wait two hours for it! Definitely a great thing to do once though. Still, it's a great company.

I'd like to defund Ben & Jerry's- I prefer my sundae with chocolate syrup rather than your lousy opinions.

Tour was informational and fun! They have a tour every 10 minutes so you are always just in time for the next one. Sample at the end is larger than what I would call a sample portion and you can buy more if you'd like. Great guide!

Despite the fact that this place is very commercial, the ice cream is always excellent.

My wife asked the tour guide here if he thought their ice cream was better than Cows? LMAO. No one in America knows what Cows is. So awkward.

I loved the tour here. Ben was a great tour guide, really punny guy. Would definitely do it again when I get back up there.

A perfect place to spend a day with a family, also when your children are almost grownups :) the factory tour was really interesting, we had a really cool guide - a young boy who managed to do so good jokes that it took a while to get the point ;)

Original Ben and Jerrys factory. Must try tge scoop shop where you can get a good assortment of Ice cream flavors. Loved their Coffee Buzz flavor and the New York Fudge flavor as well

Great place to bring the family to see ice cream being made and learn more about their mission to help the community and the earth. Staff informative and kind. Great sample too!

Ben & Jerry's is a great company and the ice cream is great but the factory is overrated. The tour is pretty basic and underwhelming (though getting to try some exotic ice cream flavors at the end almost makes it with while). There ice cream graveyard is cool, but nothing more than what you can find on the internet. The gift shop has some cool stuff (and you don't need to take a tour to shop there). Also be prepared for a long wait, the place is very popular.

Awesome place to visit!! Great ice cream and tours!

Fun tour inside the factory and at the end a taste of ice cream .

The factory tour was short but a lot of fun. And as a plus the tour guy added a ton of cow and ice cream puns to my dad joke repetoir

Very handicapped friendly. The guided tour and sampling of ice cream took about 15 minutes. I would stop if your in the area.

The tour is exactly what you'd expect. It is worth a trip if you like B&J and you are already in the area.
