Activity Overview
Enjoy a Candyland adventure as you visit the PEZ Factory and Visitor Center located in Orange, CT. The PEZ factory has been there as long as I can remember and to me feels much like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when the factory finally opened its doors to those with golden ticket.
For a small admission fee, you will get to see the inner workings and history of this iconic candy factory. Enjoy the pop culture trends that PEZ has represented over the last 83 years.

Pez Insider Tips
- Every paid admission earns you $2 in credit toward PEZ merchandise for use on the same day. This can be found on your receipt. You will also receive a colorful lanyard as a visitor gift.
- Visit Monday through Friday during normal business hours to see the workings of the factory actually making the PEZ candy in real time.
- There are picnic tables outside and tables inside should you choose to bring your own snack. The only food offered is from vending machines and of course, the PEZ candy that is sold at this destination.
- Albeit rather small inside, the Visitor Center is fairly stroller friendly, with the exception of getting the stroller up and down the initial set of stairs in the entrance.
