We selected Travis AFB famcamp for its reasonable cost, security, proximity to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Jelly Belly factory. Seriously, the Jelly Belly factory was one of our reasons. Jelly Belly offers a self-guided tour along a walkway above the factory floor. Lots of videos explain what you're seeing on the floor below. It's kind of noisy, especially if you happen to be near kids.
When we were there, the factory was shutting down for an annual three-week maintenance period. So, if you go, be sure to check the event calendar. We missed seeing the tumblers in action.
We were pleasantly surprised to discover Jelly Belly art. Large mosaic images, approximately 4 ft x 5 ft, made of jelly beans as opposed to tiles, could be found throughout the tour. Ronald Reagan featured prominently with his known love of Jelly Belly, especially the licorice ones.
What's your favorite flavor?
