Factory Tour in the California Desert
What do ceramics, enamel, glass, and cosmetics all have in common? Borax! This compound, mined in the California Desert region, is also used as an ingredient in many other everyday products, including laundry detergents and food additives. The Borax Visitor Center, in Valencia, is the site of the state's largest open pit mine, producing nearly half of the world's borates, minerals essential to life and modern living.
Factory tours are typically family-friendly activities good for a short and interesting diversion from a region's mainstream tourist activities. This inexpensive tour is available throughout the year upon prior registration. Click on the factory tour icon for more practical information.
