Jelly Belly Candy Store

We had an absolutely delightful experience at the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, CA! I took my daughter on a tour, and it was such a magical day. Pro tip: Get there early! They open at 9:15 am, and arriving early allowed us to beat the crowds and enjoy everything at a relaxed pace. The factory tour is incredibly cool! Watching how jelly beans are made was fascinating for both adults and kids, and riding the jelly bean train added an extra layer of fun. My daughter couldn’t stop smiling! After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious meal at the cafe. The portion sizes were fantastic—plenty to fill you up after an exciting morning. And the prices? Extremely affordable, which makes this an even better family outing. We also loved exploring the jelly bean museum, which was filled with fun and quirky memorabilia that gave us a deeper appreciation for the history of Jelly Belly. Overall, this is an affordable, fun, and family-friendly destination that we can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for kids and adults alike!

We went on a Sunday, a non-production day,but we were happy to do a quick visit. The self-tour was worth the $12 we spent for both of us. Making our own bag of favorite flavors was the highlight, and had to buy a bag of flops! Loved learning the history and how jelly bellies are made. Extra fun for kids under 10!

We had a lot of fun visiting Jelly Belly factory on Tuesday afternoon. My kiddo was obviously excited for the candies but we (the adults) were impressed with factory tour. It was a great experience to see live how these candies are made. The complimentary train ride was short from the visitor center entrance to the front of museum and back. The candy store has imperfect candy for cheaper price. The disappointing part was the cafeteria. The food was pretty bad. I ordered a cup of chili and it was overly salty. My kid’s burger looked very dry. My hubby’s burger with mushroom & cheese looked a bit better but he said that it didn’t taste good. So, just skip the cafeteria imo.

Had a great time with the family at the jelly belly factory. Did the tour that was $8 an adult and $4 a child. It was nice and great interactive games to play on the tour as well. Also attended the museum which was great facts and my kids got to get a picture with santa. This is totally a yearly thing.

If you haven't visited here before, definitely make it a point to stop by if you are in the area. I found it interesting to see the process of making jelly beans, and learning a bit about the history was also fun. Our family did the self-guided tour, so we went along at our own pace. Of course, several of our friends back home knew that this stop was on our itinerary, so we had plenty of jelly bean orders to fulfill at the gift shop before we left. People must have thought we were jelly bean fanatics with the amount of stuff we bought, but no, REALLY, it was not all for us 😂.

I spent 3 hrs eating at the cafe, visiting the museum and tour as well as shopping. I wish they had wine flavored beans and/or jelly beans & wine pairing. Would also have like to try Gilroy garlic flavored beans.

If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly outing, the Jelly Belly Factory Tour and train ride is a must-visit! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the sweet aroma of candy, and the excitement only grew from there. The tour is $8 per person 3 and up, 2 and under are free. Comes with hats and a bag of jelly belly candy. The Factory Tour is pretty entertaining. You get an up-close look at how those iconic jelly beans are made, from start to finish. There are some interactive displays like guess the flavor and jelly belly soccer which make it engaging for both kids and adults. The train ride was a delightful bonus. It's a short but charming ride across the property to the museum. The train is well-maintained and perfect for young kids who love the experience of riding on a mini train. The gift shop is a candy lover's dream, offering a good selection of Jelly Belly flavor imaginable and some factory-exclusive goodies you won't find anywhere else. They also have a café that offer a quick lunch or snack. The museum has some old equipment and tells you the history of Jelly belly factory and some photo opportunities.

I remember coming here when I was in elementary school many decades ago. I thought I’d bring my 4 year old and sure enough, he loved it. Factory Tour and train ride to the Museum made my kid super happy although we didn’t get a chance to actually see what’s in the museum… only visited the factory.
