New York Museum of Ice Cream Tickets

If you reckon any time of day or any time of year is a good time to enjoy an ice cream, you simply must visit the New York Ice Cream Museum.

This colourful wonderland where anything is possible has become a must-visit for ice cream lovers. Across its 14 rooms, you’ll find everything your imagination can dream of.

From a floating table where you can sample sweets, to a three-storey slide, right through to the Queen Bee’s giant beehive. The museum’s star attraction is sure to make an impression too. A bath full of colourful shavings will invite you to take a sweet dip.

In museums, touching is usually forbidden, but the MOIC – as it’s known by its English acronym – isn’t a traditional museum. All its exhibits are interactive, so not only is touching allowed, but you’re actually encouraged to do so and experiment with the displays. Are you up for it?

Let your inner child run wild in this paradise nestled in Soho. You’ll find that every corner is worth a photo, so switch on your camera, practise your best poses and get ready to fill your social media feeds with colour. You’ll definitely want to snap a photo by the pink structure inspired by the New York Underground.

Once you’ve learnt all about ice cream, the only thing left to do is try it. Sample the Ice Cream Museum’s exclusive flavours:

• Sticky peanut butter with savoury pretzels coated in creamy milk chocolate
• Juicy tropical mango with a hint of chilli and bursts of sweet raspberry
• Swirls of dark chocolate and creamy vanilla with ribbons of caramel and crunchy chunks of chocolate-coated cone
• And many more!

When you book, you also have the option to purchase a VIP ticket, which grants you access to the museum at any time, as well as a free drink and a 10 per cent discount in the gift shop. What’s more, during the summer months, the evening experience allows you to enjoy discounts in the hours leading up to the museum’s closing time.

During the festive season, the Ice Cream Museum is transformed into a pink winter wonderland known as ‘Pinkmas’. From mid-November until the New Year, the venue is decorated with pink trees and exclusive menus are on offer to celebrate the festive season in a sweet and memorable way. Come and join in the fun! Oh, and if you’re visiting with your family, children under 3 go in for free.
