Very interesting tour. Lived here all my life, and learned a lot about Kokomo history. I had no idea they did work for Disney, and other well known businesses/names.

Great place that you would never have guessed was here. Wish we would have had a little longer to watch the glass coming out of the furnace, but our guide was on her first tour and was not able to give stories or trivia. She will get better I'm sure.

For an up close view of glass being made for the artisans that make stained glass windows, this is just the place. The tour takes visitors directly onto the factory floor, with all the noise, heat, and equipment imaginable. This is not a tour for people using walkers or those that don't like the environment of a factory process that has changed little in 150 years. The variety of glass and the cataloging system that permits artisans to reorder exact replacements for glass ordered decades ago is incredible. But our tour guide was apparently inexperienced, was unable to answer any questions, and seemed to always be between the tour group and what they were trying so see.

As stained glass enthusiasts, we had been looking forward to this visit for months. It was disappointing and disheartening to show-up and be treated like a huge inconvenience. Our 10:00am tour started about 10:15am. The tour was neat, our tour guide Kathy got nicer as the tour progressed and she was very, very knowledgeable about the shop, factory, and processes (the other tour guide was asking her questions, too). Seeing the molten glass dumped onto the mixing table was the highlight of the visit- it was incredible. The glass blowers did a really nice job of showing their process to the tour group. The whole factory is very interesting and provides glimpses into our country's history, beyond just glass. It's a neat place.
Unfortunately, the shop employees are rude and borderline insulting. We were treated like children who weren't supposed to be there. We were looking forward to stocking-up on 8x8 glass sheets, but they are in a part of the shop that people must be escorted to, and no one would take us- but they did find time to yell at us for standing near the entrance of that area (??!) Sadly, this place is definitely not focused on the retail aspect of their shop; it is clear this is an inconvenience to the workers- which was hugely disappointing. We did leave with some scraps (which they sell for $1.50/lb) and a piece of head glass, but all-in-all it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I won't even be ordering from them online anymore.
We drove three hours out of our way to visit this place, which I do not recommend. But, if you're in the area and don't mind being treated like a child, it is an interesting up-close-and-personal glass factory experience.

We toured the Kokomo Opalescent Glass company recently. It is a small business that make opalescent glass for artists, churches, businesses and anyone using this specialized glass. It's products are in many churches worldwide. The tours take place at 10am M-F and last about 1 1/2 hours. You get up close to the glass making process and you can feel the 2,600 degree heat. Our guide was very knowledgeable about processes and the history of the company. It's the oldest glass making company in the U.S. It opened in the late 1800's. You get to see the entire process from start to finish. Very enjoyable.

Husband has wanted to tour this place for a couple of years, and we finally went on the hottest day in July, and it was tolerable. Turned out to be an interesting tour—I want to go again after I’ve “processed” the info from the first tour, as I’m sure I missed information. The factory is old (at times crumbling), and surfaces are uneven. IT’S A WORKING FACTORY, not a showroom. I was surprised how many people just showed up (like us), for the tour—there ended up being 16 of us. The furnaces are hot (2400 degrees), but we didn’t stay in that area long enough to be very uncomfortable. I thought the best part was watching the men move the glass from the furnace to the rollers. (Most people will probably prefer watching the glass blower). The tour is a little over an hour, but seemed shorter. The glass shop has some nice displays of work. (One reviewer thought it was of “lower quality”. I have a small amount of knowledge of glassware, and it isn’t “lower quality”; it isn’t carnival glass, it’s stain glass/blown glass, so I’m not sure what the other reviewer was expecting). Tours are at 10 am, $6 adult and discount for students.

I do stained glass as a hobby, therefore I found the whole glass making process fascinating. The rows and rows of colorful art glass was mesmerizing. I wish I could have brought more home.

This place amazes me. It is so unique and they are know worldwide. Advice: Go in the cooler weather. It can get pretty hot inside when it is how outside.

Kathy was our guide and she gave a great tour. Our group of 8 which included young children and teenagers enjoyed learning about the art of glass making. No one was bored or uninterested and the boys talked about what they had seen over lunch. Would definitely recommend this tour. The gift shop was also a hit with our group.

This tour is an awesome look into the glassmaking trade and a genuine look into what it takes to make sheet glass. You also get to see a glass blower at work and several other artists at work.
Very informative and worth the cost and time.

Once your tour is complete you will be given a gift from KOG! We want your visit to Kokomo Opalescent Glass to be memorable and for you to take away a piece of history. After you see how our glass is created, you can shop in our retail store.

We had a scheduled tour 2 years ago but I got the impression that they were more than willing to do whatever was needed. The furnace area might not be available but I'd think pretty much everything else.
