Have you ever wondered how glass is made? Experience a fascinating piece of Kokomo’s history with a behind-the-scenes factory tour at Kokomo Opalescent Glass, the oldest art glass company in the United States!

During the guided factory tour, stand mere feet away and feel the heat as you watch molten glass hand-ladled from a 2,000-degree furnace. The factory has been making world-famous, hand-mixed and colorful sheet glass using the same techniques from its beginnings in 1888 when production started in Kokomo.

Glass produced at Kokomo Opalescent Glass can be seen in installations in Disney World, Air Force Academy, many churches around the world, and even the Vatican. Come experience it for yourself!

Tours are available Monday through Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and must be booked in advanced. Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for students. Please call 765-457-1829 to reserve a spot. Fully closed-toed and closed-heel shoes must be worn when touring the factory. At the end of the tour, you can take a piece of Kokomo Opalescent Glass home with you as a complimentary souvenir!

After your tour, explore the OP Shop’s collection of unique glass gifts or sign up to take a class.
