Ben Jerry’s - Waterbury

Flagship store and location with flavor friedhof and factory. I'm so happy to come here. from mai 2022 they did not offer factory tours, but the flavor friedhof is open (self-guided) and the ice service. on the hill is located directly on the children's playground a free visitor parking space. we explored the humorous cemetery for about 15 minutes and then went to the ice. We went on Monday at 15:30 a.m. and there was no waiting time. we have the mini vermonster, with bananen, keks, brownie jacks, their choice of two toppings (we have oreos and bisks-tough balls,) their choice of hot caramel and hot fudge (we both have) impact cream (we have no more) and four ice cream flavor (we have 3 new tastesey). it comes in a plastic eimete, and they can save after a lid for later (4 of us could not finish it). there are inside and outside seats. there are many photo possibilities, and a staff member even kindly came out of the kiosk to help us make a picture. the whole place is cheesy sweet and the vibes are good. they take credit cards and gift cards. it is a family-friendly place and good for large groups. a cooler place to come by when they visit the opposite!

The factory tour is closed, but you can still get a cone of ice, so this is nice. I've changed the brew and the child got strawberry cake. I forgot my 51 cents for a pressed penny, so I have to remember this next time. the 40 minutes waiting for ice was noticed at the beginning of the track of top 10, so I guess they knew a waiting time and published waiting times. they wait.

Flavor Graveyard was so cool! So many flavors I've never heard of and now wish I could try, even if they discontinued it 30 years ago! It's awesome that they used real tombstones and had a description of all of the different ice creams. We waited about 45 minutes to get our ice cream as it was busy during President's day weekend but it was worth it best Ben Jerry's ice cream I've had in my life. The gift shop has some fun items too.

Tours closed due to Covid. We went late one evening (around 6pm) and the graveyard was closed (maybe due to the recent snow? Idk). The only thing left to do was buy and eat ice cream! The service was fantastic, they answered all my many questions about the different flavors. Then we ate our treats in the car as it was too cold and snowy to eat in the outdoor patio. Would love to return once it’s fully open again!

Fun place to visit for families. Facility tours are suspended for 2021. They'll hopefully open up in 2022. Fun tasting experience.
