I was wondering if industrial tourism is a real thing or just another one of my million weird obsessions. Ddg searched and it’s a real thing. It’s got a Wikipedia page and everything.
I would love to go to places and see how things are made. Modern Marvels is my favorite show (yes, I’m old) and also how it’s made.
Anyone done something like this? How was your experience? How did you set it up?
Boeing has an awesome factory tour. So does Ford. Just buy tickets and for the day and time you want to attend.
Edit: here are some other interesting tours:
Boeing lets you tight some screws and write few lines of code
They don’t even care if you finish!
That’s what saves their QA numbers from being even worse.
Don’t forget to paint over those cracked weld joints!
is the Ford Rouge plant in Dearborn, Michigan still operational?
Not sure. I was on a tour that saw the F150 lines.
