Guides
Does an unchecked minimum age cause most trip-ending factory tour mishaps?

Fuel, a lost night and a wasted day off are what a free tour still costs
The tour was free, so the mistake costs nothing. Except the fuel, the night, the day off, and the four hours of driving that bought a locked gate.
Maintenance
Treating a factory tour like a sightseeing attraction causes most visitor mishaps
Almost every ruined factory tour comes from one assumption: that a plant is an attraction. It is a workplace with visitors, and every rule follows from that.

8 points worth checking on industrial site interpretation
Seven things small industrial sites can do without a grant, starting with the cheapest and most powerful: recording the people who did the work.
Reviews
Site interpretation choices compared: guides, panels, films and working machines
Guide, panel, film, app or working machine. Each does one thing better than the rest, and most sites pick the one they can afford rather than the one that fits.
Features
Industrial site interpretation rated on what actually matters
Industrial site interpretation: read the ground as well as the panels. Slag, tailings, fill and buried foundations are the site's own record.
Guides
Can a strong site tour really name what it deliberately leaves out?
Ask what the tour covers and what it does not. A site that can name the themes it leaves out has thought about interpretation; one that cannot has not.
Industry
Local businesses do more for site interpretation with an archive, compared with a sponsorship
Industrial site interpretation business: sponsoring a panel buys a logo. Handing over the company archive, or an afternoon with a retired foreman.
Guides
Why do two years of argument sit behind every industrial interpretation panel?
Every panel you read at a mill was argued over for two years. Knowing how that process runs tells you why some sites explain themselves and others do not.
Guides
Realistic factory tours planning starts with one thing: the days a plant's line runs

Costs
Driving quietly eats most of a factory tours weekend budget, not the tickets
A worked weekend: two plants, one museum, two nights. The tickets come to almost nothing and the driving quietly accounts for most of the bill.
Costs
The sector a factory sits in, not the tour itself, decides what readers pay
Factory tour prices in 2027 track a plant's sector, not its size, and the ticket is usually the cheapest part of a family day out at the gate.
Maintenance
Layout, not the machinery alone, is what a new factory tour visitor misses
What first-time visitors miss about factory tours: everyone watches the machines. The information is in the layout, what moves, how far, how often.

Company towns beat junction hotels near the best factory tours
