Jelly Belly Candy Store - Fairfield, California

RB

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 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.

Was here almost 20 years ago with my one granddaughter... Went with a group this time, but it just felt different... I know!

We went on a Wednesday, and apparently they randomly decide day by day what operations will be open based on call offs, when's low, what's backed up, etc, so we missed our on more than half of the making of the jelly beans. If been taking it up with people, so everyone was looking forward to it, but it was a bit disappointing.

The inside is still pretty much the same... You're greeted by a giant jelly bean over by the gift shop, and the "paintings", made it off jelly beans are ah-MAZ-ing!

We did the self-paced tour, so we just meandered along at our own place, particularly as we had a few with challenges with us. They've added a few games along the way, which were fun... My two granddaughters that went ended up being high score on the one game ? ... Playing Beat Saber def paid off ?

I did their wine and chocolate pairings, and was quite pleasantly surprised! They host local wineries and give a nice explanation of the wines in your flight, and you get a giant wine glass as well! No, I fill mine with water ?

We also did lunch through their café... Everything was the same price and came with a healthy portion, except the jelly bean pizza... Def on the small side.....

My biggest dislike! It's somehow turned into a Reagan memorial... Because he likes jelly beans. But honestly, I really dislike any human being turned into some sort of god/goddess... Sorry. They're humans. And quite frankly it doesn't say much about that human of they have to be built up because they like candy... Everyone likes good candy. But that's just my thoughts...

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.

What a fun visit, it’s amazing to know the history behind those yummy candies. The factory tour is super informative and interesting to see the steps of production. The store offers a lot of choices.
