If I could choose just one thing to enjoy for the rest of my life, it would definitely be ice cream. It’s my ultimate comfort food, so when I heard that the famous Museum of Ice Cream was opening a branch in Singapore, I was beyond excited!
My first visit was unforgettable, and I’m super glad I didn’t have to fly all the way to the US just to experience the unique museum. It’s essentially 60,000 square feet of pure joy and happiness, plus unlimited ice cream and a ton of interactive displays!
For anyone here with a major sweet tooth (like me), I wasted no time in making this tell-all guide to the museum!

Things to Do in the Museum of Ice Cream
Dip into a pool of giant sprinkles

If you think that a dip in a swimming pool is the only way to beat the Singaporean heat, then let the museum prove you wrong. Here, take a dip into a pool of giant sprinkles.
Sure, you won’t necessarily get drenched in cool water but the experience may be enough to keep your mind off the heat. The Sprinkle Pool is undoubtedly the most popular attraction inside and it’s not hard to see why!
Tip: While it is a pool, do not attempt any kind of diving here. When there’s a lot of people in the pit, it can be hard to spot anyone hiding under all the sprinkles and diving into the pool may be dangerous for you and everyone else in there.
Get unlimited swirls of ice cream

One of the most popular (and the best, in my opinion) things you can do inside the museum is getting unlimited servings of ice cream. There are about 5 different kinds of ice cream flavours offered in there, so make sure to arrive with room in your tummy.
While you’re inside, why not adopt an “ice cream” name? This fun activity invites you to blend your name with a classic ice cream flavour, creating a unique moniker that you’ll proudly wear as a name tag while you explore.
Tips:
- The museum is not a halal-certified establishment, so they can’t guarantee that the ice cream they offer is halal-friendly. It’s best to inform the staff members about your dietary preferences before asking for a serving of their ice cream flavours.
- Can’t decide on what ice cream name to get? You can take a look at the inspiration wall behind the entrance counter for ideas.
Jump around a giant pink inflatable bouncy gym

Who says bouncy gyms are just for kids? Inside the museum is an inflatable bouncy gym where guests of all ages can hop in and jump around.
It’s also pink in colour, so it’s not hard to miss while you’re inside. You can do all sorts of flips and jumps inside the inflatable (but just make sure you don’t hurt yourself or anyone else inside).
Tips:
- There’s a limit to how many people can jump inside the bouncy gym. If you’re dropping by with children, I highly recommend waiting until there are less than 5 people inside before joining in.
- Make sure to dress appropriately for this activity. Guests wearing dresses and skirts may be denied entry inside. Also, please wear socks!
Learn all sorts of ice cream fun facts and trivia

Another great thing about the museum is that not only will you get to taste all sorts of ice cream flavours and play around the attractions, but you’ll also learn more about ice cream in the Museum of Modern Ice Cream section.
There are interactive displays inside the museum showcasing trivia, fun facts, and important information about the history of ice cream. It is a museum, after all!
Tip: Don’t forget to design your own ice cream cone before leaving the gallery. You can actually interact with most of the displays inside (such as Marble Run where you race down marbles around an ice cream castle).
Challenge your friends and play ice cream-themed carnival games

If you’ve got a competitive bone in your body, why not challenge your friends to some rounds of fun carnival games? There are ice cream-themed carnival games inside the museum, featuring classics like Connect 4 but shaped like a jelly bean.
You’re also free to come up with inspiring phrases on the magnet wall. Just jumble up the letters and leave a cute message behind for everyone to see!
Tips:
- Don’t stay in one game for too long. There are people waiting in line to try them out as well. You don’t win prizes after winning the games, but at least you get bragging rights!
- There are no public toilets inside this section of the museum. You’ll need to walk all the way back to the entrance, so I highly suggest doing your business before heading inside.
Pose next to quirky sculptures

Don’t leave the museum without taking a few Instagrammable shots inside! The whole museum offers plenty of spots to post clout-worthy photos and videos, so take your time and explore!
Popular photoshoot sites include the Disco Room, the Glow-in-the-Dark Cones, the Banana Tunnel, the Balloon Room, and so much more.
Tip: Take note that you’re not allowed to enter back into the room you just exited. Take as many photos as you can in one room and move on when you’re done (as there are people waiting for their turn as well!).
Where to Eat and Drink at the Museum of Ice Cream
Scream’s Diner

If you’re craving more than just ice cream, then head over to Scream’s Diner for more treats. It offers a range of delicious ice cream along with milkshakes, coffee, signature cocktails, and more.
The other food and drinks they sell here, however, are sold separately (unfortunately). Just make sure to top up your digital wallets and cards because they only accept cashless payments here!
Tip: The room’s nostalgic vibe is highlighted by old-school telephones on the walls, and they’re interactive! Pick one up and hear a special message waiting just for you.
MOIC Outdoor Dessert Bar and Cafe

If you don’t want to leave the magical experience at the museum just yet, you can unwind and get refreshments from the MOIC Outdoor Dessert Bar and Cafe.
This pink outdoor bar is actually a prime chill spot outside the museum if the crowds are getting heavier inside or if you’re feeling hungry while waiting in the queue. They serve finger foods like fries, burgers, and hot dogs, as well as ice cream, juices, and coffee!
Tip: There is actually parking near the outdoor bar and cafe. Slots are super limited, though, and I highly recommend coming to the museum at least an hour before your time slot to get a parking space. You can chill and eat there while waiting for entry!
