If happiness had an address, it might just be the Museum of Ice Cream Miami.
Now just over a year old, this pastel-pink playground is a treat for all ages and the perfect backdrop for any celebration, big or small.
For my daughter’s 13th birthday, it was the cherry (and sprinkles) on top, a very last-minute pop down I-95 to one of only seven Museum of Ice Cream locations in the world.
From the moment you step inside the museum, you’re greeted with contagious energy, whimsical design, and of course… ice cream at the ready. Scoops to sample, textures to touch, and surprises to discover around every corner.
Visitors can take flight on the Creamliner, the museum’s first-ever 1960s-style airline experience, swing through the Banana Room, peek behind hidden freezer doors in a wild “Hall of Freezers” filled with mysterious portals and sweet surprises, and step into TV Time, a retro set brought to life.
Then, there’s the Rainbow Room, the giant circus-animal crackers, and the grand finale… a slide that lands you right into the iconic Sprinkle Pool.
Equal parts art exhibit, interactive playground, and sugar-coated dream, the Museum of Ice Cream is a Miami must-visit for kids and kids-at-heart alike.
Pinkmas, the Museum of Ice Cream’s annual holiday celebration that transforms the space into a festive, pink-themed winter wonderland, runs Nov. 14 through Jan. 19. The event features holiday-themed installations like a candy cane forest, seasonal ice cream flavors, festive drinks and holiday activities.
So grab your camera and your sweet tooth… this is one stop guaranteed to leave you smiling long after the last scoop melts.
