A Fun and Engaging Half-Day Out with kids at The Ginger Factory
We recently visited The Ginger Factory and found it to be a delightful place to spend half a day with kids. The Overboard boat ride was particularly impressive, featuring a puppet show that showcased the culture of different parts of the world. My son was quite engaged in the adventure of finding the gingerbread man throughout the ride. The train ride offered a decent experience, although the scenery and factory site weren’t particularly exciting. However, there was a picture-perfect photo spot under the Rainbrella Project, which we enjoyed. We also attended the live bee show, which was very informative and great for older kids and adults. My 3-year-old son found the presentation a bit boring but loved the honey tasting that followed. The factory tour and tasting were nice, providing a brief history and showcasing the factory from big glass fields on the balcony. Overall, I would rate our experience 4 stars. The Ginger Factory is a charming place to visit, especially for families with young children.

Very quick transaction and interesting tours. Highly recommended.
Quick transaction. No problem at all. I bought it at the counter. Very fun day for young kids and family . We rode the boat ride five times and the kids still wanted more. The train wasn't that interesting but it is a very nice ride. The bee and ginger tours were great but a bit lack of actions.

Great day out with the family and the ginger and bee shows were great.
Such a great experience with the family. It is a beautiful place to go to as a family and it was very educational. We did the ginger factory tour as well as the bee presentation and we all had fun. The tasting was even better. I would highly recommend this to other families.
