On a scorching summer day, who doesn’t miss the childhood delights of banana splits, cotton candy, and ice cream sandwiches that cool you to the core? Oh, youngster, you claim to be too young and only know the trendy Thai rolled ice cream, Turkish-style fancy ice cream, and molecular gastronomy ice cream? Then you’re bound to flock to the newly opened “Ice Cream Museum” in Manhattan, New York City!
This pop-up ice cream museum, available for a limited time only in August, is locatedinNew York, USA, covering an area of 3,000 square TN, and features 6 major experience zones:
1.

Upon entry, visitors will receive a scoop of ice cream (with a different topping sauce each week), starting their exploration journey while enjoying it. The venue also features sweet creations such as a chocolate deer head adorned with colorful candies and a "sauce" drawing lottery.
2.

Visitors must catch the "balloon lollipops" that have been filled with helium and can float in the air. When biting into them, they should inhale the gas inside the balloon deeply and speak immediately—their voices will instantly transform into a specially processed pitch that’s an octave higher.
3.
The most anticipated area of all! The entire pool is filled with 11,000 pounds of colorful candy, allowing visitors to dive right in for a rainbow candy bath or take a creative leap off the diving board.
4.

Visitors are given a small pink pill-like candy, which can be placed in the mouth for one minute before getting an ice cream cone to eat.At this moment, the small cake balls trigger a chemical reaction in your mouth, transforming the originally sour lemon topping into a sweet candy flavor, playing with food biotechnology in a fun way.
In addition, this pop-up ice cream museum in New York features a giant golden ice cream cup. Visitors can create a record-breaking largest ice cream scoop in the world by scooping the biggest possible serving from the freezer and placing it atop a towering mountain of ice cream. There is also a chocolate room where the aroma of chocolate fills the air as soon as you step inside. The walls project dynamic images of flowing chocolate, and there are various chocolate-themed decorations on display.Not exciting enough? There’s also a giant version of the ice cream seesaw and an ice cream sandwich swing, which are other popular photo spots in the museum.
Visitors can also download a dedicated mobile app before leaving to customize their own favorite ice cream flavors.Unfortunately, just before the deadline, we learned from the official website that all day tickets were completely sold out, so those interested will have to wait for further updates.
