The American Whistle Corporation

We booked a tour online and headed out to the factory. There was good communication and a reminder from the American Whistle Corporation in advance. We checked in at the desk when we arrived and they welcomed us to step into factory space. The tour guide was very funny and engaging, joking with the kids. He provided an overview of the company and the history of both it and how whistles used to be made. We then walked around and looked at some of the machinery, some of which they were able to demonstrate in action in front of us, others which had some footage prepared that we observed on a large screen. At the end, there was the option to put together your own whistle by selecting two different halves (same or different colors, a huge selection including glow in the dark) and even the round pea color for inside, then used the machine to put it together quickly. They also have a small shop where you can purchase additional whistles and accessories. Quite an interesting visit!Note that parking is around back for the tours - a gravel lot with some very large potholes to watch out for.

Did you know the American made whistle is made right here in Columbus? You can go on an inexpensive tour on how the whistle is made and get a whistle at the end. The tour is around $5 and last about 90minutes.

One of the most unique finds in Columbus, OH. Do you know how the cork ball get's into the whistle? Where does the cork come from? I highly suggest calling to make a reservation for a tour. Those questions will be answered.

Come on people! This is American made! You can't get anymore American made than this. Whistles people:) Everybody should have at least one. Yes, you can take a super cool tour of the "plant" but you NEED to buy a whistle. Coolest thing I did in Columbus. A whistle... yep.

You are supposed to schedule the tours online. It was a fun factory tour and very engaging! Great for kids!

Buying products made in America is important to me, but not an easy feat unfortunately. Purchasing my QUALITY whistle was easy with American Whistle. They have great colors and an easy to navigate website. All the children who hear my whistle every day will hopefully enjoy my new MADE IN AMERICA whistle as much as I do.Thank you American Whistle!
