Super Sweet Jelly Belly Expedition

Walk the candy trail to view Jelly Belly’s state-of-the-art jelly bean making factory! The elevated walkway provides a bird’s-eye-view at every step, and video monitors enhance the experience with close-ups. You will enjoy the aromas of chocolate, peppermint, cinnamon, apple or whatever is being cooked up that day! See for yourself why it takes as long as 20 days to create each Jelly Belly. At the end of the tour you will be treated to a free bag! We’ll also visit the special Jelly Belly store.

Summer Trips

Enjoy an exciting summer trip with your friends and the Teen Club staff! Trips are open to teens from Lombard, Villa Park, and Oakbrook Terrace. Villa Park residents must register at the Iowa Community Center, while Lombard and out-of district residents must register at Sunset Knoll Recreation Center. Teens are responsible for their own food and beverages, so bring a sack lunch and/or money. For long trips, we recommend both a sack lunch and extra money for snacks. Register at least 2 weeks in advance, as space is limited. The bus will board at the Lombard Community Building. In case of bad weather, trips will go to Gurnee Mills Mall for movies, laser tag, ice skating, etc.
