Take a self-guided walking tour of the factory where Jelly Belly jelly beans are made. A highlight is the robotic stacking machine and portraits made of jelly beans. Also check out the factory store where "defective" jelly beans are sold as Belly Flops. The tour is very popular, so expect a wait, usually less than 30 minutes. Weekdays are best, because you get to see the factory in operation. Breakfast, lunch, and ice cream sold in the onsite Jelly Belly Café & Snack Bar ($10 breakfast, $15 lunch). Bus and RV parking available (daytime only). The walking tour, which is about a quarter-mile long, is accessible to wheelchair and stroller users.
