PEZ Visitor Center

Excellent staff! The staff was very nice and attentive and the exhibits are a landmark of your childhood! First of all, I’ve been here a couple of times and it is fun for the whole family! The factory and touring are nice with a nice touch of narration and a gift shopping area. I think it is great to come here on a rainy day with the whole family!

My boyfriend and I visited the welcome center last weekend. Definitely a fun way to spend an hour or so looking around to find all the PEZ dispensers on the bingo sheet to win a prize. What’s nice too is they charge $ 5 admission for adults, but you get $ 2 back per person to spend in the shop there. And also, buy the $ 6 container that you can fill with PEZ. It’s so worth it! The green apple ones are delicious.

Pretty cool place to bring kids. Takes about 30 – 45 minutes from start to finish. Not a destination, but good if you’re passing through.

I think I might have over-​anticipated the vistor center from reading all the great reviews. I was looking forward the visitor center being more of a museum :/
Its a great place for kids to run around and look at the pez displays, but I feel that even they would get bored after about 30 minutes. The entire place is two floors but the second floor has only a few displays. Nonetheless, its a good place for younger kids to have fun.

What a great find! Just happened to find it while on the road with my wife. We enjoyed it as kids! We marveled at the variety of Pez for sale as well as the vintage ones on display! Wil go again for sure!

My son loved this place! It was very entertaining. We lasted an hour in there. It was fun to see pez through history and buy whatever pez we wanted. On the second floor, it had pez from Japanese things like monokuroboo, and some animé like Pokemon, dragon ball z, and one piece. You can see the workers making pez through a glass. It was all fun. We all liked this. On the second there’s chairs and tables for you to eat if you brought a meal or something. I also forgot to mention that there’s a machine at the entrance that if you put a penny in there (+$.50) it’ll make it into a flatter coin with a pez logo.
The pez also cost way less here than it does at babies r us ($ 1.99 a piece). Very cute experience. If you’re in town, I recommend you try this place out if you have kids.

Great way to spend an hour on something totally frivolous for only a couple bucks. $ 2 gift store credit, a lanyard, and a Pez dispenser (if you play their museum game) are included in admission. It’s just silly and stupid, but we keep going back with out-​of-​towner friends because the ridiculousness adds to its charm. Everybody we take enjoys it!

Nice little attraction for children. No tours on the weekend. My 2 year old loved it. Make sure you take the close up quiz for a free Pez dispenser. Answers: Panta truck Mario pop eye Frankenstein snowman.

If you live nearby or are on a road trip with some time to spare, this is a cool place to stop to kill a half hour or so. Like someone else said, it’s basically a gift store with facts and display cases, which at first you might think is a ripoff to pay to look at merchandise, but you do get a store credit and there are a lot of Pezes (Pez’s?) on display. I guess during weekdays you can see people working, which could have been cool. I personally would not like to work in a factory while people watched me though.
Despite Pez not actually being a great tasting candy, it’s cool to read through the history and look at the brightly displayed colors. I would have enjoyed a guided tour, but my guess is it’s not busy enough for them to justify hiring someone for that. And they were out of the presidential set of the first 5 (aka the best five.) So a neat little stop but not something worth a large travel to. There’s not that much to see.

Fun little stop if in the area. I don’t know that I would have driven miles out of our way to go.
It is $ 5 a person to get in. However, you get a $ 2 store credit and if you do the scavenger hunt you get a free PEZ dispenser. It was fun to see the evolution of PEZ and the many characters.
Just to note, they only pull an employee to make a fresh piece of PEZ candy if there are 10 or more people touring at that time.

I saw the billboard and followed the signs. It’s basically a PEZ fan’s dream come true. This was a fun stop on my way to Hartford from New Haven, It’s easy to reach and return to the highway so I stopped for about 30 minutes. There was a lot of parking out front. The staff was friendly and explained that there’s the store and the «Visitor Center.» I stayed to the right, which was free to enter and had Pez merchandise and candy. I was impressed that there was no markup on the merchandise so I bought several PEZ containers. Unfortunately, I either wasn’t familiar with the characters or not a fan, so my choices were relatively few. I did pick up a Dodgers, Hello Kitty and Yoda dispenser as well as a cool PEZ lanyard for my next cruise. I missed the PEZ baggage tag. however, so if I ever go back (or maybe find it online) I’ll have to pick one up. The t-​shirts were cool but all of them had French sleeves or were in children’s sizes. You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy the Visitor’s Center but it helps!

Tons of fun with or with out the kids. We had fun and it was very cheap. The kids loved the special pez despisers available there. My boys also did a fill you own pez tin. That was a great part. We are still working on those cans, a few months later. I think this is a must go if you have kids.

Fun for a quick trip… I think we spent about an hour there, including our time picking out candy in the gift shop. They are open for visitors 7 days a week, but there is no candy production on weekends. So it’s a self guided tour through some Pez history, complete with displays of vintage Pez dispensers. There are a couple of computerized games along the way, and the chance at the end to get a photo with your head on a Pez dispenser.
As others have said, your admission price includes a $ 2 credit per ticket at the gift shop. We were a group of 3, so we had a whopping $ 6 to spend! It’s harder than you think! Prices in the gift shop are pretty reasonable, $ 2 for dispensers with 3 packs of candy, 6 packs of candy were only $ 1.59 and you could get any flavor, or you could get the metal bucket filled with loose candy for $ 5.99. We ended up with a couple dispensers and three 6 packs of candy — chocolate, sour apple and sour watermelon.
The Pez factory is fun for all ages, just don’t plan to spend all day there. Plan for about an hour, or maybe longer if you get hooked on trying to beat the high score on the match game, like I did! It may be better to go on weekdays when the factory is operational. But everyone who was there on Saturday afternoon with us seemed to be having fun!

We were heading back from NJ and saw a sign that said Pez Visitor Center so I had to take my lady because she loves Pez ha ha! This place is gorgeous and if you don’t recognized any one Pez that would be insane! When you enter you will see the wall of Pez… Pez everywhere! You pay like 5 bucks to see Pez from the early days to Pez to now! My lady loves this place! We saw Pez from star wars to Simpsons! Plus there is a Pez motorcycle lol! This place rocks!

Take equal parts of a museum, a history of pop culture, a cruise down Nostalgia River, a big factory store, a working factory, and vibrant bursts of color, and you have the wonderful PEZ Visitor Center.
It’s an eye-​popping collection of PEZ memorabilia, including a very cool interactive PEZ history display that delighted the kids I saw opening doors, touching screens, and spinning things.
You can randomly explore the wonders, or take a self-​guided tour.
The memorabilia is grouped by subject matter — big glass showcases with dispensers for Superheroes, monsters, Toys & Games, Star Wars, cars, trucks, animals, Disney, sports, Christmas, Halloween, etc.
Upstairs there’s a party room for a Pez Birthday Party, and a Pez-​themed motorcycle from the American Chopper TV Show.
There was a contest yesterday, hunt around the center for various US President Pez dispensers, find the letters or words for each, and write them on a game card for a chance to spin the Pez Wheel for a Pez gift!
Admission is just five bucks, but it gives you a cool Pez lanyard for your admission ticket and a $ 2 credit in the gift shop.
Seriously, we had a freaking blast here !!

Pezzzzz! Visited on a Thursday afternoon and surprisingly my sister and I weren’t the only ones there. It cost $ 5 per person to get in and you get a lanyard that acts as your ticket in. We were really disappointed when we couldn’t find the coupons in the display case at the rest stop before Pez for $ 1 off and the guy at the counter wouldn’t take the picture of it.
Anyways, case after case of Pez dispensers from throughout the years! It was really fun looking around and also trying to find the seven dwarves for the treasure hunt to get a free Pez dispenser. They also have full size samples of 6 or 7 flavors too! Each ticket purchased also gives back $ 2 store credit, so we had $ 4 to spend. Most of the dispensers are $ 2 with the exception of the original which was $ 3.
Definitely a fun time for a side visit and if you can get your hands on the coupon then the visit practically pays for itself in lanyard, dispenser and free samples.

This place was so much fun. A friend and I (both adults) spent about an hour here and enjoyed checking out the old PEZ dispensers and videos. It is fun for kids but also for adults, especially as I don’t think PEZ is as popular as it was as none of the kids I know are active PEZ consumers. I think the adults are more likely to remember and appreciate. Also, cholrophyl PEZ? Crazy!

$ 5 adult admission w/​lanyard
$ 4 child admission w/​lanyard
$ 2.00 credit for each person at the gift shop.
Cool displays and nice collections of past and present Pez dispensers, although the gift shop doesn’t have a big selection for sell.

This place is AWESOME! It’s $ 5 to get into the visitor center, but that also gives you a $ 2 credit towards your inevitable Pez dispenser purchases. Smart thinking.
Anyway, I took a jaunt down to New Haven, Milford and Orange today to visit a few businesses and ended up stopping at the Pez Factory. The self-​guided visitor center is a blast — it showcases hundreds of iconic Pez dispensers from the 1930s to the current decade. Beyond glass walls, you can see employees working the production side, which is pretty cool.
Lots of fun and lots of sugar for kids and nostalgic adults alike!

Fun place to peruse for about an hour. I can understand why people think the $ 5 adult admission is a lot for a big room filled with lots of Pez dispensers, memorabilia, a gift shop and about 5 windows to look into the factory. BUT with your admission you get a pretty snazzy lanyard (your admission ticket), a $ 2 off coupon for the gift shop, and you can play a game to win a Pez dispenser.
The game consists of finding Snow White’s 7 Dwarfs Pez dispensers that each have a a corresponding letter to figure out the key phrase. (Don’t worry if you can’t find all the dispensers, it’s pretty easy to figure it out!)
I think the gift shop could use some work. I wish they would have had more Pez shirt options for adults. (They only had 2 styles for women.)
Overall, I had a great time. This is something you do once in your lifetime.
