Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield managed to use the knowledge from
a $5-correspondence course on ice cream making to create a
multi-million dollar company. Enjoy a trip out to the Ben and
Jerry's Factory in Waterbury and get a chance to see how the famous
treat is made and sample their mouth-watering flavours. Tours of
the factory take place daily. It is worth noting that ice cream is
only produced from Monday to Friday, so on weekends, a short movie
is screened instead.
