BOSTON, MA — Get ready to get reacquainted with your inner child and enjoy unlimited sweet treats—the world-famous Museum of Ice Cream is opening a permanent location in Boston's Seaport in 2024!
The museum, which already has locations in New York City, Chicago, Austin, Singapore, and Miami, teased its Instagram followers about its plans to open in a mystery location with clues leading up to the big reveal Monday.
In each of its locations, the Museum of Ice Cream's sweet offerings currently include unlimited ice cream treats in five different shapes and forms, activities hosted by guides, the opportunity to learn about ice cream and its history across 12 multisensory installations, and—perhaps most famously—a large sprinkle pool.
