Discover interactive exhibits that highlight the factory (the factory itself isn\u2019t open to visitors, but you can see it across the street).<\/p>\n<p>You can also view a model of the factory, along with commercial props from their famous TV ads, and personal artifacts belonging to the Bush family. Before you leave, you can even walk inside a can of beans and, for fun, weigh yourself to see just how much you weigh in beans!<\/p>\n<p>The general store features a variety of Bush\u2019s Beans branded merchandise, along with a number of classic \u201ccountry\u201d souvenir items. You\u2019ll also discover whimsical items and other fun purchases. Many of the items for sale here also feature images of Duke, the beloved company dog, who is the Bush mascot. If you\u2019re a bean-lover, you can also buy cans of beans in a variety of flavors, ranging from common ones found in grocery stores to unique flavors that aren\u2019t sold everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>The Bush\u2019s Family Caf\u00e9 is popular and offers visitors an expansive menu to choose from. You can taste southern specialty dishes, including fried chicken, catfish, sweet potato fries, okra, and pinto bean pie, to name a few popular menu items. The main entrees on the caf\u00e9 menu range from about $6 to $10, and you can also choose from a number of side dishes and desserts. Everyone who dines at the caf\u00e9 gets a free sample of the \u201cbean of the day\u201d before your meal.<\/p>\n<p>The visitor center offers plenty of parking and is fully wheelchair-accessible. Also, Duke himself may be welcoming visitors, as he does make occasional appearances for meet and greets. Note that although Bush&#8217;s Beans loves dogs, only service animals are allowed inside the facility, so your family pet would have to remain outside.<\/p>\n<h3>Getting There<\/h3>\n<p>The trip to Bush\u2019s Beans Visitor Center is a scenic route and offers a nice reprieve if you\u2019re looking for something unique to do. It&#8217;s about a 35-minute drive from Pigeon Forge, with an extra 10 minutes if coming from Gatlinburg. This would be a good time to know about some of our tips for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/smoky-mountains\/shortcuts-back-roads\/\">Back Roads and Shortcuts<\/a> for getting out of town from either location and not wasting time in traffic.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/9Ci9fD1QJZ7JPDR19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">map<\/a> will show you where you&#8217;re going. (Note that the Center&#8217;s address says Dandridge, which appears on the north side of Douglas Lake, but the place is actually in Chestnut Hill, on the south side &#8211; just look for it on Hwy 411 and you&#8217;ll be fine.) This location is right where A.J. started his &#8220;modest little cannery&#8221; by the way, so the history goes all the way into the roots here.<\/p>\n<p>The Visitor\u2019s Center is open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., but some hours may vary due to holiday or seasonal hourly changes &#8211; check the website for these.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bush&#8217;s Beans Visitor Center<br \/>\n3901 US-411, Dandridge, TN 37725<br \/>\nTel: 800-590-3797<br \/>\nWeb: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bushbeans.com\/en_US\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">bushbeans.com<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3724 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1.jpg\" alt=\"map to Bush\u2019s Beans Visitor Center\" width=\"1051\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1.jpg 1051w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1-1024x460.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1-768x345.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Image1-150x67.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1051px) 100vw, 1051px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bush\u2019s Beans Visitor Center makes a great side trip when visiting Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.
