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.
