βFor being a child oriented attraction, it was clean, staff was extremely hospitable. You got your monies worth from the experience with all the ice cream tastings. Each room was unique, fun, and a great photo opportunity. It was self paced and with taking the time to enjoy each room and try all but 1 experience (the sprinkle pit) it took us 2 hours to get through the whole museum. Itβs located in the middle of all the shops so we were able to jump into the stores right after. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time as well.β

βSuch a fun experience! We had a blast and would def recommend going. We got so many fun pics and ate so much ice cream. The only small complaint I have is it was super crowded and we ended up have to wait a lot to get to thing or take pics. Go for sure! So many fun memoriesβ
