Hammond's Candy Factory Tour & Walk

The tour starts at 9:45, so please be on time.

A free 30-minute Candy Tour seems like a great idea before the holidays.

After the tour, we will drive 2 minutes away to Heron Pond/Heller Open Space to walk the 1.3-mile loop trail around the pond twice.

Tour: Unleash your sweet tooth and embrace your inner child as you witness the mesmerizing world of confectionery come to life. Marvel at the creation of lollipops, candy canes, and other irresistible Hammond's treats (5,000lbs per day!). Learn about our rich Mile High City history and fascinating tidbits about nostalgic candies. Learn more!

Walk: This small, tree-ringed lake sits in the middle of an urban open space, but it can attract surprising birds. Look for ducks in the colder months, and during migration, hope for a wandering prairie bird like a Loggerhead Shrike or a Lark Bunting; they aren’t normally found in the city, but occasionally stop here due to the open habitat. This natural area is connected by trails to the adjacent Northside Park and the bike path along the South Platte River. Please note that there is only street parking available.
