Retail store featuring the famous jelly beans in a range of creative flavors & other sweet treats.
Slide 1 of 8
Although factory tour was not available we had so much fun in the retail store. There is a lot to discover - all kinds of flavors and other jelly bean items! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit for young and older people
Is an interesting free tour. It literally takes 30 min and it is very basic. You don't actually get to see them making the beans but you see videos of the history and work. It is a fun activity for kids and families. They have most Harry Potter candy!!
We came 9/4/2017 free tours hours 9am -4pm The tour wait was 30 mins & the tour itself took about 15 mins. The candy store has a lot of options & the prices are affordable and we got a 20% discount that we found in a Wisconsin magazine that was found at the store. Overall was fun experience.
Came to Kenosha on a whim and discovered it was home to my favorite candy and a FREE tour to boot! With free jelly bellies at the end?! An amazing find. Went home with way too much candy. Great deals on "flops" buy two, get three free.
My husband loves jelly beans so this was a fun stop on our way home to Chicago. They have free samples of everything and if you're lucky, Sam I Am will be working the counter and he'll make fun Jelly Bean cocktails for you! He made a mimosa and a pumpkin pie for me. They had 1/2 pound bags of jelly beans for $1, buy one get one free! What a deal!! The factory tour was 15 minutes of fun if you are aware that it's not the factory where they make the jelly beans--its just a warehouse. You get a free bag of jelly beans after!
We did this stop as my wife really wanted to go here. We had been at my brothers place and this stop was on the route home. We had lots of fun. You have a guy that helped eith the sample bar and he was awesome a funny too. He made up some combos for us to try and he was spot on. Thanks for the good time.
Fun. So many flavoured beans. Come out take the tour. It's an hour out of your day + you get a paper hat + a jelly belly snack bag + you ride on a train. Hello, a train (more like a cart, but you get the idea. Look at pics). Enjoy. Its SUPER FUN.
Good thing the tour is free. You ride a train around the warehouse past a bunch of props and several stops to watch old videos showing production techniques and company history. They give you a small bag of jelly beans at the end. They sell their rejects at a reduced but still pricey rate. Their chocolate candies were unimpressive and the taffy was hard as a rock.

Kenosha's Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets is a place where you will find great brands at a great price! This outlet is well laid out with an outside sidewalk between stores. There are a couple main buildings with different parking lots but all of the stores are within walking distance of each other. There are often many sales. They have stores for shoes, children's clothing, food items, adult clothing, perfume, candles and more. With many name brands such as Nike, ADIDAS, Calvin Klein, Carter's, Eddie Bauer, Express, J. Crew, Levis, Loft, Old Navy, Pepperidge Farms, Sunglass Hut, North Face and many more. They have a good court building with many choices including Chinese, Italian, Cheese steaks, Hot Dogs and a churro stand. They have vending machines for soda and a cotton candy machine.
Pleasant prairie premium outlets ,30 miles from o hare airport… Good outlet mall where u find lot of brands … Good price and nice collection available here
A lot of stores I love to visit are places like Tory Burch, Coach, Kade spade ,Calvin Klein, Perfume Hut, Old Navy, polo Ralph Lauren and of course I can’t forget Starbucks—their coffees never miss! These are my favorite spots, especially the purse outlets and Perfume Hut They’re honestly the best places to kill time. The atmosphere is always relaxed, the variety is amazing, and the people are so kind and patient. It just makes the whole experience even better. Whether I’m shopping, browsing, or just enjoying a drink, I always walk out feeling happy.
Great outlet stores with sales upwards to 50% off. Also a smaller tax rate in the state of Wisconsin!
The food was amazing and the service was honestly great. When we asked our server to take photos of us he took professional looking photos. And don’t get me started on the food. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and soft and the chicken skewers were so juicy and tender. The only reason why I give this restaurant four stars is because it took a while for the food to come. Other than that everything was perfect.
Visited two stores and most of the average build guy items were not in stock. Maybe in transition of seasons, however, as I walked all through the stores searching, no one approached me to ask if i needed any assistance. The parking lot was well laid out & clean, as we're the stores.
Ive been here for two black friday deals. Great place and always fun to shop because the lay out of the mall is so easy to walk around. No second floors. Everything is in one floor since its a strip mall. And its like a square layout. So if your in the middle, you can easily find the brand you are looking for by just looking at the brand name logo on top of the shop.
The empty store areas are not good nor is the fact that customers pour money into buying here and it looks like it's all deserted like. No plants no decor of any kind. No welcoming vibe. There are only 2 restaurants in the area for a mall and there not even IN the mall. Culvers and McDonald's ... big deal. I'm disappointed how run down it looks

lifeguards who take their jobs seriously!! We’ve had such a wonderful experience at the beach this summer! As a mom of two very active boys, I can’t say enough good things about the lifeguards here — especially the blonde lifeguard in the blue suit. She’s been consistently kind, attentive, and clearly takes her job seriously while still making the beach feel like a safe and fun place for families. My boys absolutely love the Wibit and renting kayaks, and it’s such a relief knowing the lifeguards are always keeping a close eye. Their professionalism and approachability make a huge difference. Thank you all for keeping our beach days fun and safe!
We have previously registered our kids here for swim lessons and have always really liked the experience. This past month, I registered my son for group swimming instruction. The class ended up being cancelled however we were never notified by email or phone call and ended up showing up on the first day of class only to be turned away without any explanation. We were told someone would contact us but they never did. I ended up sending an email a few days later and got a response from Jada Myers, swim coordinator, saying an email was sent to the wrong email address. She then offered to help by signing us up for another available group class. This was 2 weeks ago. I have sent her 2 emails since then without any response or confirmation of enrollment. Horrible customer service and incompetent management. It is a shame that tax payers are paying for this.
Getting a membership here was one of the dumbest repulsive lies we have ever done. Not only are all of the members here just completely rude and entitled so it’s hard to enjoy yourself, But a lot of the staff are too. There’s not much for kids to do here. The pool sucks and is always packed and cold with crappy rude lifeguards.. We got this as a family who wanted to be able to do more things and we barely had a need for this membership And had no use for it. The membership was pretty much a huge waste of money. If you like us looking for something to do, I highly recommend you don’t waste your money on this place
Fishing sucks. All rock bottom, saw two tiny bluegills, never had one bite on anything else. Moved around quite a bit. Stock the pond with some trophy fish and I’ll change my review. Have nothing to comment on the membership stuff or the business, but if the fishing sucks, the business probably sucks too.
Love the facility! My 5 kids always have so much fun here with the beach! Lifeguards are always friendly and helpful. A lifeguard with a black suit was so kind to my son when he hurt his knee on the inflatable and she was sure to follow up with us after. She was very professional and knowledable. Highly recommend.
Living In Pleasant Prairie since 2009 - then members off and on, and once again, this publicly owned facility continues to underwhelm. From the invading leagues from Illinois, kicking over the ballfields, picking up all the parking spaces, To swim Team’s coming in and making sure you can’t use the facilities to try to get five free passes- It’s a constant reminder that if you pay taxes and Pleasant Prairie, you’re only here to support the mini industrial parks that don’t have to have their air monitored for quality. There are many reasons to live in Pleasant Prairie - this facility is not one of them.
As a years long member, the RecPlex is very frustrating. They have tournaments and meets that last all weekend, closing down entire sections of the facility. For example, a 3 day swim tournament taking over both pools. This is on the weekend when families like mine can come together to swim. Nope! Completely closed. Some areas of the facility are dirty, rundown, for weeks on end where custodians seemingly ignore messes and broken equipment. The hot tub was recently out of service for over a week. The parking lot is taking 3 months to repave. If or when we can find another facility close enough to home, we will leave the RecPlex just like they leave us everytime they rent out the place to NON members!
the front desk worker for the gym on saturday August 2 was walking around talking to all his friends on the job, was on his phone the whole time, and was lifting on the job trying to show off as well as being rude and disrespectful to others like giving dirty looks and staring at people trying to work out. I don’t believe this is acceptable behavior for a “professional” work space as well as a gym where i pay over a thousand dollars a year to go and feel like a respected person when i work out.

Stopped here several times before. It's a nice spot. It has staff that are friendly and helpful. Clean bathrooms, maps, and other information. Lots of areas outside for relaxing or eating.
Was horrified to stop at this rest area at midnight on Sunday. There were at least 50 cars in the lot of cars that looked like they lived there, these were NOT travelers getting some rest as trucks do. There was a homeless person sleeping on the bench inside and another woman with a grocery cart rummaging through the desk at the visitor center. I was too uncomfortable to leave my sister in the restroom alone. As we exited the building, two young men got out of 2 different cars and my sister insisted I lock the doors before I could even start our vehicle. I drove over 2000 miles in the last 10 days and this is the only rest area that presented like this. Very sad representation of Wisconsin!
Stopped for a restroom. Restrooms were clean, well lit and safe. Didn't wander around as much as I could of but there was plenty of information about things to do and places to see.
Parked and walked around used the facilities.Nice clean,good truck parking.will stop again,thank you
Restroom was clean and the person behind the counter was very helpful when I asked for some local information
Very clean ! Nice place to rest
Great welcome to Wisconsin. Quick access back onto the highway. Lots of information about things to do.
The bathrooms and center is so clean and big.

Awesome 18 holes, cheap with cart.. staff awesome, beautiful conditions !! Wife and i stayed in Kenosha , wisconsin.. beautiful location easy to get to..
Course itself wasn't too horrible. However, the guy running it needs a lesson in customer service. We had bought a 4 buckets of range balls at 7$ a piece and we weren't going to be able to get to the driving range before tee time. Asked immediately after purchase for a refund and he said no and gave an attitude. He followed us around on the course all day just yelling at people. Terrible just terrible. If you have the option to go somewhere else just do it. Not worth the hassle of dealing with people whose JOB it is to have good customer service when all they do is the complete opposite.
I’m giving this place 4 stars because I feel extremely welcomed and comfortable playing here. Staff simply amazing. This is a place to work on your game and get better. Sure course conditions could be better but I go during the week and $35 is fair. Greens are alright. nobody that goes here is playing for the green jacket which is great and it is such a nice place and great location
I like this course and consider it a go to. But there is no real oversight during play. I've seen people hit 3-4 balls EACH off of a tee. I've seen a foursome on the putting green, putting over and over like they were playing putt putt. I've seen foursomes not let faster players play through. The two brothers that basically run the place are pretty cool dudes.
OK I usually don't leave 2 star reviews. But this time it is required. Positive. Large golf course. Interesting layout. Good location (close to highway). Greens are good. Now negatives; This place is run down, the grass is patchy, in some spots no grass at all, only dirt and stones. Helmets are recommended when you ride the carts. The paths are very bumpy so you will have to protect your head. We have lost so many balls on the flats. I think there are so many holes that balls disappear there so you can't find them. I could say few more bad things about this place. I would love to come back here if there are some upgrades made related to the conditions of the course. Paying $45 is high for you are getting. There are better courses for less than that with much better customer service. I recommend to review satellite picture to see condition compared to other golf courses I would love to change that review but this course has to change and people who operate that place have to understand that time changes and "rustic flavor" is not pleasant anymore.
I don’t even play golf but my boyfriend does and we love coming to this course, it’s beautiful no matter which side you choose, the owners and everyone that works on the course are super friendly, it’s a great place to come when you have some spare time!
I'll give it 5 stars just for the atmosphere. It has a 9 and an 18 hole or 3 9 hole courses. It is no frills. Just drive up and play. The owner is feisty but funny (just have a good sense of humor). Great beer selection or Hard seltzer. Course is in great condition for the price. This is my go to place when I'm in Pleasant prairie. If you are looking to get in 9 holes in under 2 hours, this could be your place!
Didn't have a chance to play, but the driving range was decent enough. Staff was friendly and helpful.
