The Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery provides a unique, hands-on tour experience. Come and learn how pretzels are made AND learn how to twist one yourself.

The Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, founded in 1861, was the first commercial pretzel bakery in America; and the Sturgis Family is the oldest pretzel baking family in America. Learn how Sturgis’ old fashioned recipes and methods were established and how they’re still used today!

We will tour the original pretzel bakery - seeing the original ovens built by Julius, get a hands-on lesson in pretzel twisting using a play dough mixture, observe their bakers twisting old-fashioned soft pretzels by hand, and shop for delicious treats and souvenirs in their bakery store – their soft pretzels are $2.00/ea.

Note: This event is less than 15 minutes away from the Wolf Sanctuary.(We will be scheduling a teen event at the Wolf Sanctuary in the 2025/2026 school year, keep watching for more info and a date) Pack a picnic lunch and eat at the Lititz Springs Park located at 18 N Broad St – which is only a short, 3-block walk from Julius Sturgis. It is directly across the street from the Wilbur Chocolate Store, which is open for browsing.
