"The tour was really interesting, the museum was especially informative. I'd recommend stopping in the restaurant before leaving for a bite to eat. The crab cakes and crawfish etouffee were delicious!"
"Wonderful experience. Great friendly and helpful staff. Incredible self guided tour of the complete Tabasco production operation. One of my lifetime favorites and I got a detailed view of the whole process of how it's made. Very clean grounds and facilities. Great nater tour also. Great gift shop. We really enjoyed it. I recommend it for everyone."
"This is such an interesting, important and fun piece of American history and truly unique in the present age. We loved the brief, self-guided tour and saw some truly fun exhibits in the museum. Not to mention all the cool stuff for sale in the gift shop with the iconic logo, of course. The Jungle Gardens were extensive, spectacular and serene and with no rush to get around, just a beautiful, leisurely tour. Lots of photo ops or just sights to take in and marvel at in your own time."
"Great experience for Tabasco fans. Staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Make sure you leave enough time to hit the gift shop (closes at 4pm) to load up on unique items and sauces. Highly recommend stop if you are in Southern Louisiana/Lafayette area. If you have time, also get the jungle gardens pass located at the facility. This is the "old" property and homestead of the McIlhenny's."
"This factory was great! There were numerous areas to view and the history of it was amazing! Even if you don’t like Tabasco, it is still a neat experience to see how they make it. (In the gift shop, the chili mix is so delicious! It was so good, I bought 2)"
