You’ll Love This One Awesome Activity In Wisconsin And It Won’t Cost You A Cent

There are so many cool things to see and do in Wisconsin, but sometimes your budget gets in the way. Here’s one activity that’s perfect for the whole family – and it’s totally free!

Please note, the Jelly Belly Visitor Center is no longer in business.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

You'll find Jelly Belly at 10100 Jelly Belly Lane in Pleasant Prairie. The Jelly Belly Visitor Center is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm every day.

While you're waiting for your tour, check out the photos on the wall - they show the fascinating history of Jelly Belly.

Hop aboard the Jelly Bean Express Train for your tour.

The tour takes you through the warehouse...

...past some cool jelly bean art...

...and through the some interactive displays that tell you all about Jelly Belly's history and unique manufacturing process. The tour takes 25-30 minutes to complete.

Take a look at the display dedicated to former President Ronald Reagan, who catapulted jelly beans into popularity during his presidency.

Of course, you'll want to shop for some Jelly Belly beans to take home with you.

You'll get some killer deals on "irregular" beans - they might be a little misshapen, but they still taste great!

And if you want a truly unique experience, try one of these flavors.

Not sure which flavors you like best? Stop by the Sample Bar, where you can taste test every single flavor Jelly Belly makes.

Free tours are offered every day from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
