Please note that if there is no chip frying going on when you visit, there is no tour. I wasn't aware of this, as I'd visited other factories that gave tours even on days when production was not in progress (Budweiser and Ben & Jerry's for example).
At Route 11, if they are not frying, then all you get to do is buy chips.

Ever wanted to see how potato chips are made? This factory provides good views of the process with free samples. The wooden potato chip mascot is a bit odd, but fits in with the place.
