This was a fun stop on our vacation; old fashioned candy along with new and modern edibles, gifts, etc. The staff was very nice and helpful; offered us samples of unusual (but very good) fudge flavors. We bought several gifts and goodies for ourselves.

In lieu of having a walk-around tour, the tour guide narrates a video. Gave us a good chance to ask questions. You can see a few pieces of old candy making equipment.

A little bit of history of Jolly Time. Lots of pop corn treats. Worth the 10 or 15 minutes you spend to read the displays.
