Museum of Ice Cream || New York City || Trip

 Museum of Ice cream, New York City

The Museum of Ice cream is a company that provides a interactive experience for guests. As in June 2022, there are currently three Museum of Ice creams in the United States, located in Austin, Chicago, and New York. There is also one located in Dempsey, Singapore. 

The Museum of Ice cream I went to with my mom is located in Soho, Manhattan. Despite the location, you must book a ticket at museumoficecream.com ahead of time. Tickets are $36 on weekdays and $44 on weekends. From 5:30 pm, tickets cost $49 everyday. Although we went on a Thursday morning, the total cost for my mom and I was around $100. Was the experience worth it?


From a 13 year old girl’s point of view, yes, it definitely was. The interior of the museum was simple yet fancy. The walls and floors are painted with different shades of pink, and cute souvenirs fill the entrance. Every part of the museum is a perfect spot for taking pictures. When you start off the tour, a guide explains how the museum works, and basic rules you are expected to follow. After, you are given a sticker to create an “Ice cream name”. 


Although the museum is self paced, you will most likely end up being around with your group. There are five ice cream stations throughout the tour, where you are given free ice cream samples to eat. One thing I liked was that there were vegan options and ingredients written on the side in case you had allergies. The main attraction of the museum is for the guests to be able to take pictures. There are many interactive “exhibits“ (Or photo shooting areas) throughout the museum. My favorite was the playground, which included a swing and a jungle gym for kids (and adults) to play in. 


Overall the experience was fun, filled with good staff and respectful guests. I would recommend this place to those who are tweens and teens, or anyone who enjoys taking selfies and posting them on instagram.
