But nothing big deal to rave about. it was nice and cool in the air conditioned building so that was a plus. There is a tour guide at the beginning. Her talk is very informative and interesting. Then there is a ten minute video. The tour guide hands out free samples. They are the really small ones so don't think... more

I went in May 2009. The tour is every 15 min. Wait inside. No charge. A guide tells the story and will answer questions. There is a short film in a nice cool room. The final part is a very short walk down a hall lined with glass that overlooks the botteling of the sauce. The gift shop was the... more

I've recently visited my daughter in Baton Rouge all the way from Portugal (in Europe), and together we've visited Avery Island and the Tabasco Factory, which I absolutely loved. The tour to the factory was short but efficient, and the Jungle Gardens was a most relaxing and fascinating adventure that I certainly would reccommend. It makes a great day out... more

I brought my two children (12 and 13) to see the factory as a last minute before school starts. They really enjoyed it and I think enjoyed finding out how the tobasco sauce is made. This trip definitely adds to their life experiences and knowledge. The staff were friendly and I was really impressed with how put-together the tour was.... more

Avery Island is worth the drive for the Tabasco Factory Tour (just to say you did it)and the country store (lots of tabasco related products). But really the jewel of Avery Island is the jungle garden; 250 acres of nature preserve with an auto route and ample places to get out and walk and picnic. Right next to the Tabasco... more

We visited this factory and garden because I had a meeting in New Orleans and it was our anniversary. We had a day to kill and decided to spend the night in Lafayette, eat at Prejeans and visit the gardens and bird santuary. The gardens were well kept. We saw lots of alligators and several kinds of birds. The day... more

The minute you step out of your car you are hit with the aroma of Tabasco. The factory tour is short, consisting mostly of an interesting little video and the Tabasco museum. The shop has everything Tabasco you could ever want, even samples of Tabasco flavored ice cream. The gardens and bird sanctuary are beautiful. We saw many birds, a... more

Hubby heard about this place and we love doing factory tours, so we decided to go a little out of our way to stop at Avery Island (in April 2007) near New Iberia, Louisiana. I'm so glad we did! I never even realized that TABASCO is a brand name and not just a general description of "hot sauce"! Before we... more

There isn't much to see, but it was fun! I wish we had been there on weekday. On Saturday the production line is shut down but we still got to see the facility. Don't miss the store. Great gifts. more
