Ben and Jerry’s is one of Vermont’s most famous tourist attractions, and it’s no wonder why; who doesn’t like ice cream? The makers of world-famous ice cream first started in Vermont. The factory tour is equally popular between children and adults as it offers a thirty-minute guided tour where visitors can see the workers making the ice cream and learn the whole process from a guide. You will see everything from making the ice cream to its packaging. The factory not only provides its visitors with samples of the day’s flavor, but they can also visit the flavor graveyard where the now discontinued flavors are put to rest.
