This is a really cute place. It's a small, short, sweet, and simple activity to do with kids or as a date. They offer free tours, which involves watching a short clip about the history of Hammond and then watching the employees work through a looking glass. It was neat learning about this candy business; I've never heard about it. I love learning origin stories because it gives me an idea of the company's values. I think it's amazing that they HAND MAKE all their candies. They have cute paper hats that you can wear. In addition, there are some areas for good photo opportunities. After the tour, you are gifted with a candy cane! You are then led into their candy store. You obviously don't have to purchase anything, but to complete the experience, it doesn't hurt to walk away with some chocolate. (: I'm not from Colorado, so I'm not sure if the prices were cheaper or more expensive than the grocery store (I'm going to assume more expensive). Regardless, we did buy some things. I got a Hammond chocolate bar, some discounted chocolate from their clearance section, and their popular Mitchell Sweets. The Mitchell sweet is $2 for a small packet! My husband liked it, but I thought it was extremely sweet and I only took the tiniest bite. I feel like that little packet can go a long way because of the sweetness. They charge $0.10 for a bag. I didn't want to pay for a bag, so I just used my paper hat as a tray. lol Overall, I did enjoy the visit. I like that it was free and candy cane gift at the end was the sweet cherry on top of the tour. read more

It's so nice they have a free tour but it's just okay - 10 minute video and then 10 minutes of looking through glass panels at the workers making candy. What they work on varies throughout the year so it may not look the same if you come multiple times. The best part is getting a full-size piece of candy at the end - we got candy canes (maybe that's what it always is?). You end the your at the candy store which is nice but mostly overpriced. If you only want the candy you can go to a Lolli Pops store - they were acquired by Hammond's and now sell the same goodies at their stores. In short, kind of fun to do but wouldn't go out of my way to do this. Best if paired with something else nearby which is what we did, a playground not too far away (there isn't much very close to the factory). read more

Atmosphere: Visiting Hammond's Candy Factory felt like stepping back into childhood. The nostalgic vibe of the factory and candy shop immediately brought out the kid in me. Watching the candy being made and exploring the shop made the experience feel magical. Bright, colorful, and playful. My husband and I couldn't help but feel like kids again as we browsed the aisles, fascinated by the candy creations and all the original candies highlighted in their video presentation. Price: The tour itself is completely FREE, making it an easy and budget-friendly activity in Colorado. If you plan to buy treats, the candy shop offers a wide variety of options at reasonable prices. During our visit, we spent about $50, which allowed us to try an impressive assortment of sweets. Candy and Treats Purchased: - Vanilla Bean Marshmallows - soft, fluffy, and full of rich vanilla flavor. - Chocolate Bars: - Raspberry Habanero - a perfect balance of sweet chocolate and a subtle spicy kick. - Pigs and Taters - unique chocolate bar with potato and bacon bits (haven't tried yet, but sounds intriguing!). - Flat Taffy, Huckleberry flavor - chewy and fruity. - Peppermint Marshmallow Chocolate - minty, soft, and indulgent. - Sriracha Cheddar Popcorn - lightly spicy with a savory, cheesy flavor that builds gradually. - Small Chocolate Peppermint - a classic treat. - Mitchell's Candy (Caramel and Marshmallow 80s) - decadent, sweet, and nostalgic. - Variety of Gummies - colorful, chewy, and fun. - Assorted Chocolates - a delightful mix to enjoy at home. Tour Experience: The tour takes about 15-20 minutes, including the video presentation and a walk through the candy-making area. At the end, you even receive a small souvenir piece of candy to take home and the item changes throughout the year. During our visit, we received their signature lollipop, which was a fun little bonus and a sweet keepsake. Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting Colorado with kids or just enjoy learning how candy is made, Hammond's Candy Factory is a must-see. The combination of a free, informative tour, a nostalgic atmosphere, and an incredible candy selection makes it worth a visit. Be warned you might get hooked and want to return for more! read more

After living in Colorado all my life, I finally went on a Hammonds factory tour! The facility is small, considering how much candy they make (a lot!) and the tour is short, maybe 30 minutes, tops. While candy is made Monday-Friday, depending on the day, you may or may not see much action. It's a chance you take. The best part is the candy to purchase, so many options. And who doesn't like candy?! read more

Tell me please, what is happening at Hammond's? Our family decided to do a tour on the 4th since it was open. Upon arriving we found out, from a very nice woman, that they were only open for shopping? Really? The tours were your legacy, and generated positive word of mouth and goodwill . You can't put a price on this type of loyalty. People traveled from all over to experience the Hammond's Candy Factory. Now, it seems that the company doesn't care about generational traditions and positive word of mouth. This is very sad, as I remember as a kid, how excited we were to go Hammond's and experience the tour, get our free candy and walking out with all kinds of goodies. read more

What a great little candy shop venture if you happen to be in Denver, CO. We booked our tour online but today you could have shown up and been fine. We arrived a bit after 1 pm for a 1:15 PM tour. They announce the tour start over the loud speaker. The tour is about 30 minutes long. We got lucky and saw how the huge vat of candy is poured out and flavors added. We also saw the candy get pulled. A nice lady in packaging made hearts with her candy canes and came to the window with a huge smile and wave. We received a large candy cane at the end of the tour. We made our purchase and was out of the shop by 2 pm. It was a great experience and totally free. read more

We had a good time visiting and looking at all the candy. The history was really cool. It's awesome the tour is free. You have to watch a video about history first. we didn't actually get to finish the tour where you see the candy being made because we had our two younger kids that was getting antsy. We spent about 160 on candy here, and the first couple we got weren't that spectacular. I expected to be blown away a little more. Some tasted stale/too hard/old. The staff though, amazing and a hoot. Still a fun place to stop for some fun candy. read more

Hammonds was bought out in 2024, and their customer service and product line has gone to heck in a handbasket. I have shopped at Hammonds since 2002 when I moved to Denver and found their handmade candies a must gift at Christmas time. Even after having moved from Denver in 2015 I have continued to order for holiday giving for myself and my business. This year I again placed an order, many of the classic items were not available or repackaged. I ordered a few things I hadn't ordered in the past and upon inspection found the items actually were mis-labeled (the items I received in a sealed commercial package) where the item was not as pictured OR described on the package, and the expiration dates were a few weeks away. The website did not indicate these were 'seconds' and blatant mis-labeling could be a health hazard. Upon writing the company (and expecting a refund on this very small portion of my order, even if they wanted the product back. Instead, I received a reply from Allison that pretty much said, too bad. The sell by date being less than a month away was within the usable lifetime and no mention that they were described inaccurately. I'm sorry to lose a trusted local business that has made the holidays special for so long. read more

I have been trying to reach Hammonds all year since January 2026 to correct 4 bags of "moldy marshmallows" purchased. NO SATISFACTION and it is now April 29th. Their phone answering machine is still giving Christmas Information. I reached a live person in February-not her job but would relay to that department. Would you like to see pictures. I bought for my grandsons' birthday. Ewewe! I owned a Waterfront Candy Shoppe for 17 years. Hammonds was our "Top Self" most pricy of wrapped products. We loved them. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? I want replacement plus! read more

Love it. I like begin my review by giving the tip about the visit. First thing to do is make appointment of the visit to see the availability of the tour. During the visit, you can look at their oops and sale candy. Oops candy are the candy are the candy that make incorrectly or edge of candy. They are good price. The tour takes about 45 minutes. You will enjoy the history of the candy factory and sample one candy cane. It is interesting to see how the candy made. The tour end in the sale store. I got some taffy strips and oops candy. Those are affordable candy. read more

It's so nice to know that a free factory tour still exists! I've been here before but never with the 2 and 4 year olds. The tour starts with a 10 minute video that gives the history of the candy founder and an overview of how everything is still handmade by the 300 employees. Then there's a walk through the viewing areas overlooking the factory. The whole process is very interesting and the tour was short enough to keep the littles entertained. At the end, each person gets a giant candy cane as a sample and the tour let's out into the store. There's a fudge/chocolate counter where our guide, Erik, boxed up our purchases. Then we browsed the store and found so much more we couldn't live without. The staff was friendly and we all had a good time. Tip: The tours are by reservation only but they have so many time slots each day. Make a reservation on their website. read more

First of all the candy is delicious! I saw old fashioned candy my mom always put out for Christmas. The chocolates are wonderful! We took a tour and it was fun to learn how they make their candy and the history of the business. The store is filled to the brink with all sorts of delicious goodies. We got right in on our tour and It was a friendly and fun atmosphere. Our tour guide was informed and funny in her presentation. read more

I was not aware Hammond's was so close to home. I actually received a few samples in a recent large Yelp event at the Stanley Marketplace and really loved their chocolate covered biscuit/biscotti and their lemon cake... decided to look them up and realized they offer free tours on site. It's really nice to see that this candy place has been a Denver staple for so many years and will def be on the top of my list when I'm looking for local treats to bring friends. I remember getting a gift box from work that was shipped to me from California and one of the items inside was Hammond's caramel. LOL! The tour was fantastic and we got to see how the candy was completely hand made. The gentleman that guided us through the tour was pretty funny and he helped me ran all over the store to find the lemon cakes as they had very limited stock. I got some of their strawberry marshmallow and they were so soft and tasty. Not too sweet! Highly recommend you to come and check them out. Support local family owned business! read more

We took the troop for the free tour and they seemed to love it. There wasn't a lot going on because it's the slow season but they were still making candy they could watch. Trying to corral 1 girls in a candy shop was not easy and it seemed like a lot of the products aren't even made there , but made elsewhere and sold in the store. So IMHO, that was kind of a let down. The movie was interestingly and the tour guide was knowledgeable, but there wasn't a whole lot going on overall. read more

Every single visit is super fun! I love bringing out of towners to tour Hammond's and see a piece of Denver history. And the tours are free, the cherry on top! I stopped in to pick up a few candy bars for the holidays and was warmly greeted by staff who made the shopping experience incredibly unique staying open a little later for me. I'm beyond appreciative of their time and consideration. Last year we brought my nephew as a surprise birthday gift and literally gave him the 'kid in a candy store' experience - unlike any other birthday gift he's received. Plus the staff continued to shower him with birthday wishes and candy canes! Not sure it gets much better than this. Thank you all for your continuing kindness! read more

We were in Denver for a few days and looking for fun kid's activities. I read about the free tour at Hammond's candies and we gave it a try. Parking was super easy and we showed up at our reserved time. We watched a video, which was a little hard to hold her attention for very long. Then we visited two different areas to watch candy being made the old-fashioned way. The tour ended with a huge candy cane made in Hammond's Candies. My stepdaughter's favorite part was the enormous candy store at the end of the tour and we picked out a few treats for the family. Such a cute place and it was free! I'd recommend it if you're looking to fill a little time. read more

We took our kiddo to the free tour of the factory and had a great time. I found it through Cheap or Free Denver website for something to do during winter break. Hammonds has been around since 1920 and is sold all over the country. It's short at 30 minutes and keeps your attention at any age with lots of live candy making behind the glass windows of their factory. The best part is at the end when you can roam around their candy store. Many deeply discounted "oops" products that didn't pass the visual test but are delish! Hammonds makes high quality candy and sweets and we were so pleased we made the drive. Don't miss it! read more

What a fun experience! We goofed booking our tour showed up a day early. But they were still able to let us take a tour. Michelle was a great tour guide and taught us so much about the candy making process. It was really fun to the process. They were making lots of candy canes during our visit. My son really loved that he got a hand full of samples at the end and then of course we had to buy a few more goodies from the store. I love that they have an "oops" area. Can't wait to dig into all of our treats. read more

After spotting (and enjoying) Hammond's chocolate candy bars by the registers of airport gift shop cash registers in the Denver airport, I decided it was high time to check this place out during my recent visit to Denver. If you're looking for something unique to do while you're in Denver, a visit to the Hammond's Candies factory - where they're still whipping up old-school candy the old-fashioned way - is just what the doctor ordered. Before you visit, make sure to book a ticket to do the 30-minute factory tour (where you'll receive a piece of candy at the end). The tour is free, but due to space, ticket reservations are required. The tour starts with a short documentary before a guide then walks you through to see various type of candy being concocted in the kitchen, the process behind making that candy, and finally the packing a wrapping area. This was my first candy factory visit and it was very interested to see some of the favorites I've grown up with (like a candy cane) being made. Our visit ended in the gift shop where I spent waaaay too much on candy, but when it's as tasty and high quality as Hammond's, you can't go wrong. read more

This is a really cute and fun little tour! I will probably go again at some point. Funny thing is that I don't eat a lot of candy. It's still cool to look at all the stuff and shop in the store! Go online to book a spot. Pro tip: you definitely want to grab food from the diner that's right over there (Red Rooster Cafe) and you can walk to Hammond's from the diner, no need to move your car. Check their open times if you should go before or after your tour. They give you a cheesy little hat and you do get to see the process of making candy. So much sugarrrrrr!!! The store at the end had some really interesting stuff inside! Check my pics. Also, find the clearance section, it's one small spot but you can snag some good deals as a lot of the stuff is pricey! But, it's quality!! It's a free tour at Hammond's and the diner nearby is not only inexpensive, you get a LOT of food, and the staff is as sweet as the candy at Hammond's. Great way to spend an afternoon and have something different to do! Bring the kids, the adults, friends visiting! It's for everyone. read more

07-05-2022 I can't recall how I found out about this place, but I'm so glad I did! Factory tours, especially candy tours, are awesome! Did you know that Hammond's Candies makes Christmas Candy Canes for Target under the WonderShop name? I saw lots of boxes here labeled for Target! The tour & parking is free! There's ample parking for the tour groups of 45 people. I was so happy that the day I went, there were maybe 15 of us. A nice small group! It's important to reserve your spot prior to showing up since the tour could be full when you hope to go. You can either call them or go to their website to reserve your date and time. Each tour lasts about 30 minutes. Each of us got a Candy Cane as we exited the tour. In the shop is where you'll check-in for your tour. Then, when called, they will escort you to the little theater for a 10 minute video presentation. Then the guide tells you what the staff are working on. Every piece of candy is made by hand and packaged and labeled by hand! They make Candy Canes, Chocolates, Chocolate Bars, Lolliipops, Brittle, Piggybacks (similar to Turtles), and so much more! You can buy "Oops" candies at a discounted price. They also have sales on various things. I bought a little Ribbon Candy, it is larger, but looks the same as my Grandmother used to keep in the candy jar at Christmas! I also got some Licorice (not for me!) & some Ginger Hard Drop Candies. I regretted not trying any of their chocolates. I happened to see some Hammond Chocolate Bars at a local grocery store and picked up a Pigs N Taters - it was so good! Savory & sweet together! You have Milk Chocolate with Potato Chips & Bacon Flavored Bits. I would get this one again! If I go back, I need to try a "Mitchell Sweet". It's a bite-sized, soft marshmallow confection surrounded by caramel. Sounds really good!

It's a fun stop and a completely FREE tour! The quick 30 minute tour begins with a 10 minute video on the history of the company. Then we went into the production area where we saw candy canes being made and hot chocolate sticks being packaged. There wasn't a lot to see, but it was fun and interesting to watch. At the end of the tour, we were given free peppermint candy canes. (These were most likely ones that were not sold last year.) We were warned that they may have imperfections, such as cracks, but the one I received was in good condition. I felt like this was a very generous sample, compared to the dinky ones that mall Santas usually gives out around the holidays. read more

I took my 2 year old in the free tour last week and we had such a fun time. It was very easy to make our reservation online and the factory was easy to find, with plenty of free parking. Our tour guide was very nice and full of information. It was really cool to see how the candy is made and to learn the history- I had no idea that it they put all of the attention into it that they do or that the whole process is still mainly done by hand! At the end of the tour we were each give a slightly broken candy cane. My son got a birthday cake flavored one, and while I was initially suspicious of the flavor, I have to say it was delicious. Of course you exit the tour through the candy shop, and since I learned on the tour that they sell their slightly imperfect candies at a discount, we stocked up on the oopsies. They're just for us abs they taste great. At 2, my son may have been a little young for the tour, and there was a bit of whining while we were on it. However, he's been playing a new game called "candy factory " every day and has enlisted his massive collection of dinosaurs as his candy makers, so I imagine we'll be doing another tour before too long! read more

A Colorado tradition, Hammond's Candy knows how to treat the kid in all of us. Going back to 1920, Hammond's is known for the huge swirled lollies, the ribbon candy and the best candy cane ever to be twisted. We came to celebrate Valentine's Eve with a tour (free) and some sugarlicious candy shopping. Due to Cov19 mandates, tour sizes are very limited and of course very popular amongst families. Go to their website to make a reservation for your Party. The tour was about 30min, which included a very informative 10min video and a walk thru to observe the candy makers doing what they do best.....twist sugar in all it's glory! We even got a free treat after the tour. Then there's the store...OMGoodness so many awesome choices, some in which you can only purchase at their store. We bought two baskets full of fine confections but so worth it. Parking is available directly out front of their store. Masks required at all times. Store shopping is capacity limited and well monitored. The staff are all wearing masks, hand sanitizer is available and of course social distancing enforced. Add Hammond's Factory Tour on your list of things to do during the "Covid Cold Months". Happy 100th Hammond's!!! read more

Colorful streams of Ribbon Candy and beautifully crafted Lollipop Bundles are​ what I've always associated with Hammond's. They've been my favorite maker of "fancy" hard candy for as long as I can remember. So, when I stumbled upon their Hot Chocolate Dunking Spoon at Nordstrom's, I snagged them with hopes of​ using them for a special occasion​. You can't go wrong with anything from Hammond's. Fast forward two months later, I just used these fun and delicious​ chocolate Dunking Spoons last night for a romantic NYE holiday date night-in I created for my incredible Hubby. We sat by the fire and had so much fun dunking these chocolate​ "spoons" on-a-stick into our marshmallow-filled​ hot chocolate​s. We liked that the chocolate squares didn't instantly dissolve, but softened just enough so we could enjoy liking the softened warm chocolate off the "spoon". The tiny specks of peppermint​ pieces are a nice adder too. These Dunking Spoons are definitely fun and add an extra nice touch to hot chocolate. I'll be on the hunt again for these next year again!​ read more

I took my daughter's Girl Scout troop for a tour here and the girls loved it. The tour starts with a video that was entertaining for a bunch of first graders, which is saying a lot. Afterwards you get to go in the back to view the production room, and watching the candy canes get stretched out and shaped was super fun. They all got a free treat at the end as well. After the tour you end up in the shop, and I think every family left with something. They have lots of options besides candy canes: marshmallows, lollipops, chocolate bars, etc. Highly recommend the experience. read more

What's not to love about this place? We signed up for the 1st tour of the day and were pleasantly pleased with every minute we were here. The tour is barely 30 mins and our guide was very informative. The kids loved their step stool along most of the windows and peeking at these hardworking confectioners. Sign up for a free tour and enjoy a free sweet treat at the end! Wasn't expecting anything at the end of a free tour, so that was nice. The shop has plenty of sweet options at all sorts of price points. We even walked out with a delicious bag of choc chip cookies for a dime! Yes, $0.10! Wow - we can't wait to come back! read more

I found out about this free tour online and was able to easily book spots for my husband and I. We arrived 15 minutes early which gave us time to check out their store and try a truffle. I tried the Sea Salt Caramel. It was delicious. There were two other families on our tour which made it perfect for social distancing. The tour was informative and interesting. It was amazing watching the employees make different types of candy. After the end, each of us was given a candy cane and a chocolate turtle. After the tour, my husband and I spent a lot of time in their store looking at all the different types of candy. There were so many to choose from! My favorites were the Mitchell's Sweet, a marshmallow wrapped in caramel, the banana taffy, and the cookie butter candy cane. We bought plenty so we would have sweets treats for our travels through Colorado. While you are there, don't forget to stop by the OOPS area which has discounted candy. Also, when we were checking out, we got a 15% discount because we followed them on Instagram. I'm glad I followed them because a week later they had a Christmas in July sale. read more

Hammond’s - Yum! The candy pull machine! - Candy Stores Near Me - Denver, Colorado

After seeing Hammond's candy around local Denver shops, I was excited to finally make a trip to the factory in-person. Hooray!!! Cue inner Charlie and the Chocolate Factory moment! The shop is a little odd to find (at least for me)- but if you follow your GPS and signage, you should be fine. It's situated in the back of an industrial center, with an unmistakable jolly, red man (Santa!) hanging from the roof. Their candy canes are incredibly high-quality. We got a few handfuls of peppermint (shhh- I know what everyone is getting with their Christmas gift!), some popcorn, and vanilla marshmallows. Pro tip- put the jumbo marshmallow in a hot cup of cocoa for the ultimate hot chocolate. read more

They have all their goodies and in the "Oops room," you can find their opps candies at a discounted price - they taste the same, but they just don't look up to par. Great! I'll take it!!

I'm pretty surprised to read such glowing reviews about the tour at Hammond's. It was very mediocre. The opening 10 minute video was too long. The tour guide was too quiet and spoke very quickly. It was hard to retain what he was saying. There were only 2 rooms to observe. 75% of the candy in the store wasn't even made at the factory. And the candy we saw being made wasn't in stock. The store was very crowded too so strolling through it was not pleasant. I was super excited for a funny, engaging tour and this just wasn't it. read more
