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?

    There’s lots of that for kids. I remember we went to a donut factory. They gave us donuts and they had a gift shop where you could buy dirt cheap broken donuts. I’m pretty sure they just had a PR number where you could book stuff like that.

    I wanna say we did that for other stuff, too.

    There are also old factories kept as museums. I went to a salt mine once that was set up like that. That was just a run of the mill tourist attraction, you just paid some cash at the entrance.
