Jelly Belly Visitor Center / Factory Tour – Fairfield
Jelly Belly Visitor Center - Fairfield, CA
Zaira and I found ourselves on a mini road trip today wandering along the small coastal towns of Northern California. When I asked where she wanted to go next her reply was: the Jelly Belly Factory. Well, we were down near Monterey, and Jelly Belly makes its home in Fairfield, so I told her I wasn’t sure we’d make it in time to take the tour.
She was, however, undeterred and we headed North just as quick as Rover would take us. Alas, we arrived only moments after the final tour of the day had begun. It turns out, however, that the factory itself doesn’t operate on weekends so even if we had made the tour we still would not have been able to see any Jelly Bellies actually being made. Instead, we cruised the gift shop (adding two balls to our slowly growing souvenir golf ball collection),

tried a few free samples, grabbed a couple of pressed pennies (aka elongated coins) for Z’s collection, and found a great photo booth to take the picture above. Unlike most photo booths at amuesement parks, tourist traps, and entertainment centers, this one actually had a digital frame that applied to the location of the booth itself. Hence the picture that opened this post.
But that wasn’t all we found. We also discovered that Jelly Belly hosts an annual Easter Brunch that would be attended not only by Mr. Jelly Belly himself, but also by Wendell & Wendy Bunny – better known as The Easter Bunnies! And suddenly, we had holiday plans.
