The real Willy Wonka factory

While chomping nerds I noticed that they were made by the Willy Wonka Candy Factory in Itasca, IL 60143. I loved the movie (with Gene Wilder) and wondered if the factory might be visible from Google Maps. Maybe it had been made to look like it did in the movie and was a tourist attraction.

I was disappointed to find nothing but a dull gray building.





  1. hi i need to know the address to the willy wonka factory. please tell me it.

  4. Jessica: I wouldn’t mind visiting there myself, but I’ve never been there. What you see on Google maps is all I’ve seen of it.

  8. I have always been a really big fan of the movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and have always been curious as to whether or not there was a real chocolate factory.

  10. I live about 5 minutes from the factory in Itasca, IL. It is just a building in an industrial park. There is a large sign saying ‘Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory’, but nothing else exciting. I do not think there is a store or anything open to the public. A few years ago I drove by the building and got the really great scent of sweet tarts filling the air!

  11. That’s too bad. They could make quite a bit of money by reproducing some of the things they had in the movie. I for one would love to have a swim in the chocolate like Augustus.

  18. Rachel: I don’t have any pictures. If you take a tour take some pictures and I’ll post them here. I have a feeling it’s not like the movie.

  19. So did your wife ever tour the chocolate factory? Ironically I met someone whose brother dated your wife’s sister or perhaps it was her sister dated your wife’s brother. It was small world kind of funny.
