About Museum of Ice Cream Chicago Ticket
The Museum of Ice Cream is not a traditional museum — it is a theatrical, multi-sensory ice cream wonderland that has taken the world by storm since its first location opened in New York. The Chicago edition lives inside the magnificent historic Tribune Tower, bringing 13,500 square feet of pure ice cream joy to one of the city's most architecturally celebrated buildings in the heart of downtown. Every installation is designed to inspire human connection, ignite the senses, and rediscover the childlike joy that ice cream has always represented.
Across 14 uniquely themed rooms, the experience unfolds as a journey through the world of ice cream — from installations that explore its history and cultural significance to completely playful environments designed purely for fun, laughter, and shared moments. The sprinkle pool is the undisputed centrepiece — a ball-pit-style pool filled with millions of sprinkles where guests of all ages can dive in for the most Instagrammable moment in Chicago. The pink Sprink-L line train carries guests between the installations in a moment of pure delight. The ice cream sampling stations throughout the museum serve unlimited seasonal flavours and exclusive Museum of Ice Cream creations — arriving with an empty stomach is genuinely recommended. The putt-putt golf course adds a creative physical challenge to the mix, and the secret speakeasy — a hidden bar and restaurant serving frozen cocktails, shakes, and surprise treats — is one of the most consistently praised surprises of the entire experience.
The entire space is led by a talented team of guides who enhance the experience with games, challenges, and interactive play throughout each room. Typical visits run 60 to 90 minutes, and the museum is fully wheelchair accessible. A whimsical MOIC store is available at the end of the experience for sweet-themed souvenirs.
