“This experience was absolutely phenomenal! We've attended other similar attractions, but from start to finish, the Ice Cream Museum truly exceeded our expectations. There was something fun and delicious for everyone—my three-year-old and my mother-in-law both had a fantastic time, which says a lot! From the engaging history of ice cream to the incredibly detailed installations—like the pink subway and the giant slide—every space was thoughtfully designed and full of joy. The ice cream samples were all fantastic, but the bagel ice cream was out of this world. Thank you for such a memorable and well-curated experience. We can't wait to come back!”
