pez visitor center印象

So I lived most of my life in Connecticut and never heard of this place. On a visit back home, I went with my child (under 10), my husband (40-something), and mother (70-something). The place is small and you don't see much of the factory. Although you do get samples of freshly made candy during the week during factory hours. I am embarrassed to say that we spent about two hours there -- that darn PEZ bingo search and find game was so much fun. We separated into groups and found every PEZ dispenser on the card -- and gave each other hints along the way. I learned a little bit through the exhibits. And it was so much fun to see so many dispensers from over the years. Who doesn't have fond childhood memories of PEZ dispensers? My child loves her PEZ lanyard.

This is a place you would only visit once. As other reviewers have mentioned it is not too big. It is interesting and cute to see all the different PEZ dispensers made throughout the years. Scavenger hunt was fun. It is only five minutes off of I95 so it is very easy to get on and off. Good break to stretch your legs. You only need about 30 to 45 minutes to see. It was a Monday afternoon and none of the machinery for the factory was going, there were only employees packing boxes. They offer a AAA discount of one dollar so it is $4.00 per person. They give you a cardboard PEZ ticket attached to a cheap plastic lanyard that doesn't even say PEZ on it. They should do away with that and lower the price of admission since almost everyone visiting purchases items. You can buy PEZ merchandise but most of the items sold here can be found in stores. Bathroom facilities and vending machines for snacks and soda available. I would recommend a visit just because it is something different to see.

We made a visit to the Pez Visitors Centre on our way from Six Flags New England to New York.I just love the American style that all brands (well, almost) have their own visitors centres or shops (during our roadtrip we went to Ben & Jerrys in Vermont, and lots of the shops in New York).We did the quiz and bought some treats to our cousins back in Sweden. It is worth the visit and you also get a discount on your ticket.

I liked the visit but can't get over the fact that I had to pay to shop in their gift shop. Kids loved seeing the Pez containers. Manufacturing was closed on the weekend but the kids wouldn't have cared. It's basically a giant gift shop but they had things I've never seen before-a bucket you could fill with assorted Pez for $4.95 (I think), huge selection of dispensers and collectibles.

We planned on stopping on the way home from vacation and called to verify closing time. When we got there an hour later, they closed the plant early due to a worker calling in sick with a contagious virus. After banging on the door then calling to get a workers attention, he let us and the line that formed behind us in, only to the shop. Even though we didn't experience the tour, the store alone was a great stop. The "fill a bucket" station was a great value for buying the candy.

If driving on Interstate 95 in Ct with family, definitely take a break and visit the PEZ Center in Orange. There is an admission fee, but there is also a $2 credit per paying person towards a purchase. The kids will have a good time exploring PEZ, looking at the past and present characters. Also, PEZ offers everyone to play a search game and fill in the blanks on the game card. It's a easy search, and completing the card gets one a free PEZ dispenser and candy. It's a fun time especially for the kids. Also, another activity offered is a trivia computer game. The object is to name 20 PEZ characters from multiple choice answers and a certificate can be printed with the number of correct answers. A fun time for all.

I don't have a ton to say about the Pez factory, but it's right in Orange and it's $5 and who didn't have Pez as a kid. It's like checking out the world's largest thermometer or something; you have to do it. Some interesting history and a collector's wet dream in pez dispensers.

We really enjoyed our visit to this very small but surprisingly sleek, modern, attractive facility just off the Boston Post Road. You can learn the history of Pez candy; view old-time Pez memorabilia from Europe and the U.S.; see part of the factory where the candy is made; test your memory on interactive devices; and of course buy Pez candy, dispensers, and t-shirts. The second floor has tables, sofas, and vending machines. You can enjoy a light snack while watching a big screen TV showing Pez-related scenes from movies and television -- very clever. You can hold children's parties here, too. Very clean restrooms.

Embrace your nostalgia for this candy/toy and learn a bit of history too. Less than 5 minutes off of I-95, this will provide a nice stretch break for the entire family - less than 1/2 hour at most. Admission buys you entrance to the store/museum where you'll see an example of every PEZ dispenser ever made. You can also view the production floor.Have your kids participate in the (easy) game to decipher a secret message by finding clues throughout the exhibits. Prize is a PEZ dispenser, so worth the effort.Entry ticket gets you $2 off anything in the store, so basically everyone gets a free PEZ dispenser.NOTE----Make sure to pick up discount ticket flyer at the Connecticut Visitor Center stops. This also provides specific directions to the facility

This was not on our trip agenda but picked up a Connecticut map at the hotel and decided to check this place out considering it was on our travelling route. I didn't expect much; maybe what a few rows of antique pez dispensers. But this place had the same feel as Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory or Hershey's, PA. just on a smaller scale. We enjoyed the timeline, interactive games and questions plus the row after row of antique pez dispensers. Nice touch to give us a coupon for the store too! I don't even like Pez candy but we enjoyed ourselves. You could spend a couple of hours here or just 15 minutes depending on your schedule.
