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?

    Pennsylvania has lots of opportunities for factory tours. There’s bread, pretzels, beer, wine, guitars, candy…

    Most of the time the tours are pretty cheesy. “Press the button to watch water spray on hops.” Ride in a little cart through a dramatized candy production line. That sort of stuff.

    Maybe you could pose as a wealthy investor. Then you get to see the real deal!
