No promises about free or discounted Yakult but might be a fun activity especially for those with children (age 2 and up only).
Address is 10 Monterey Road, Dandenong South, VIC 3175
"Everybody is welcome to visit the Yakult factory, located at 10 Monterey Road, Dandenong. Visitors can view the entire production process safely through large viewing windows.
The hi-tech facility incorporates food processing equipment designed specifically for manufacturing Yakult, including Yakult’s distinctively-shaped bottles, filling and packaging lines, culture and quality control rooms. Everyone has the opportunity to taste the deliciously refreshing Yakult.
Tours are conducted from Monday to Friday and run for approximately 1 hour. Bookings are essential and are subject to availability.
All visitors are required to use the QR check-in and those aged 12 and above are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated for COVID-19. (as of Nov 30, 2021)
Please note – The facility has 4 levels of stairs, with lift facilities available only for those using wheelchairs, walking sticks, crutches etc. We are unable to provide pram/stroller access at our facility and the use of stairs whilst carrying an infant is NOT recommended. Therefore, we advise that the minimum age in order to attend a Yakult Australia Factory Tours is 2 years old and above. The child should be able to use the stairs unassisted. Visitor safety is of the utmost importance to Yakult Australia, and we apologize for any inconvenience this causes."
It always free. Just need to call them and organise it! I don't think it's considering a bargain but thanks anyway!
