SAVE TIME & BUY ONLINE noon. Tickets are only sold online by timed entry and you can save money by going during off-peak hours( note that it’ s closed on Tuesdays). The museum itself only takes about ninety minutes to enjoy. It’ s an Instagrammable adventure with lots of bright colors, games, activities and props. We had fun interacting with the exhibits that teach about the history of ice cream around the world, such as flavors you might find in India, Japan or the Middle East. The photo ops are endless and the ice cream is unlimited at the different stations spread throughout the museum.
We sampled unusual ice cream treats at various points, including a Creamsicle flavor combined with vanilla at the“ Creamliner” simulation that makes you feel like you’ re on an airplane landing in an ice cream world. We ate cotton candy in“ Funway Park,” went through the rainbow tunnel, and investigated behind freezer doors in the Hall of Freezers( think games and trivia and secret rooms). You can go back around through the museum as many times as you like to try treats again.
Guests exit into a retro-style diner where there’ s an ice cream soda fountain that serves additional scoops of ice cream for $ 6, as well as boozy ice cream beverages for adults. After enjoying the interactive exhibits, we headed downstairs to the sprinkle pool and gift shop, where you can jump into a pool filled with pink jimmies and plummet down the slide. I screamed. She screamed. We all screamed for ice cream! museumofice cream. com; ihg. com / intercontinental 🆁
