As a lifelong ice cream lover, I was thrilled to visit the fantastical Museum of Ice Cream that recently opened in Singapore.
This saccharine paradise located in lush Dempsey Hill offered the perfect escape into a world of sprinkle pools, unicorn statues, and free-flowing treats.
My inner child ran wild through the sugar-filled exhibits at this deliciously fun popup experience.
A Whimsical Playground
From the moment I stepped into the Museum of Ice Cream’s rainbow-colored ticket area, it was sensory overload in the best possible way. The poppy music, bright neon decor, and balloons of every color overwhelmed my adult sensibilities and transported me back to childhood.
The series of themed rooms proved every inch the Instagrammable interactive playground. I frolicked in a pool of sprinkles, climbed giant ice cream sandwiches, and walked through an avocado forest. At every turn, vibrant backdrops like flower walls and carousels begged for photos.
Perhaps the most thrilling room featured a mint chocolate chip slider I zoomed down again and again into a pit of soft pillows. This fantastical museum let me embrace pure, unadulterated fun.
Indulgent Treats
While the decor provided sugar highs, the unlimited tastings of local ice cream flavors gave real substance. I sampled inventive local offerings like savory Thai tea ice cream with boba pearls and sweet durian ice cream, a Singaporean obsession.
The ice cream dispensaries also mixed up boozy popsicle cocktails for adult palates. I cooled off from the excitement with a refreshing basil melon popsicle spiked with gin and vodka.
By the end, I think I tried all 10 rotating ice cream flavors multiple times! The unlimited tastings ensured I left thoroughly sated by the experience.
Playful Nostalgia
Although chaotic at times, the Museum of Ice Cream created a nostalgic and heartwarming experience. Watching children laugh while soaking in the sprinkle pool reminded me to embrace my younger self.
For 90 minutes, I could escape adult thoughts and lose myself in unadulterated enjoyment – running carefree again. The Museum of Ice Cream offered the perfect venue to let loose and feel like a giddy child once more.
A Sugary Wonderland
While perhaps overpriced, for hardcore ice cream fans like myself, the Museum of Ice Cream delivered joyful moments I won’t soon forget. Its fantastical sets and unlimited samplings let me tap into pure play and imagination.
If you have an inner child begging to roam free or just love ice cream, don’t miss out on the sugar-coated magic within Singapore’s Museum of Ice Cream. This sweet popup transports you to a childhood dreamland, if only for an hour or two.
