Blue Bell Creameries

Absolutely must stop by if your from Texas and love blue bell. This place had so much history and things to look at I was impressed! They even have 1 dollar ice cream scoops and honestly they give you way more than! 10 out of 10 I’ll be back again.

Blue Bell is one of the crown jewels of Texas and coming here with my family was an absolute delight. At the Visitors Center we learned about the company's origins and history. The we went to the Observation Deck and Ice Cream Parlor. It was great to be able to take a glimpse at the process of how Blue Bell makes ice cream for us. At the Ice Cream Parlor you can't beat the price of a $1 a scoop (it's a cup-full of ice cream which I thought was great for the price) plus they let you sample flavors if you need to do so to decide what you're getting. I highly recommend the Lemon Pie flavor 😋 👌. Overall, we spent about an hour and a half there and had a great time. Definitely arrive as early as you can to beat the crowds.

Wow, an ice cream scoop for a dollar! All the kind you can imagine, they were so delicious! It gave me a chance to taste some that they don’t have in the stores, and that was pretty awesome!

We had a great visit. You can see all the history and their is an observatory where you can see the production (no pictures there). The gift shop has all kinds of cool unique items. Then the best part is the actual ice cream! It’s only a $1 a scoop! It’s a good size scoop too.
My one suggestion is it would be cool if they did flights where you could choose three flavors for a price. I’ve seen that at other creamery’s. It’s easy to go get another scoop though.
Anyway, great place to visit I recommend!

Super fun place. Ice cream is $1 per scoop and you can watch them make the ice cream. Two different "museum" type of areas. Not open on weekends. would highly recommend if you like ice cream

Omg! All you icecream lovers have to come! It's a super cute! In the visitors center you get to learn the history of Blue Bell. The have photo ops for the kids. From there we walked to another building. When you enter they have a baseball memorabilia. You can take the elevator or stairs to the 2nd floor where you enter the ice cream parlor. You choose the ice-cream you want and they charge $1 per scoop with no tax. I tried the peachy peach and the mango. Super delicious! On the side of the parlor they have a gift shop. Really neat and cute items! Further along the hallway they have the observation deck. From the deck you get to watch the employees make and package ice-cream. The observation deck is open M-F 8am-2pm. The rest is open M-F 8am-5pm. There are absolutely no pictures or videos on the observation deck. Please be respectful. There is an employee there keeping an eye and answers questions. The outside they have a free library inside a truck, you give a book and take a book. They also have bronze statue of the cow and girl blue bell logo along with the first refrigerated truck. There is no fee to enter the facility. Overall it was a nice experience. If you are in the area I highly recommend you stop by and check it out.

Iconic creamery that can't be missed! Pay attention to the hours and what is open on weekends (no museum or observation deck). The creamery closed at 4pm the Saturday we visited. We got there at 3 and had enough time to have ice cream and see the shop. Plenty of seating even though it was very busy. You get your ice cream first and then line up to pay. Credit cards are accepted. It's only $1 for a BIG scoop! They had two flavors that are currently not available in the store, Happy Tracks, and Salted Caramel. The country store was smaller than I expected and is just at one end of the creamery. They have Blue Bell branded merchandise and other things as well. I bought a great ice cream scoop. The creamery is upstairs but there is an elevator straight ahead when you go in the doors.

Dec 2023 Visited again scoops still $1! Visited the observation deck. Very cool to see the factory. No pics allowed in there. Cute Christmas decor!

It was a very nice experience. Would love to be able to hear more about the history of the ice cream we all love, as there is so much to be told. We enjoyed visiting. The videos played seemed to show some of the history. I just couldn't hear it as there was no sound being played along with the video.

Fun place to visit. Small museum telling Blue Bell's history was interesting. The shop and ice cream store certainly worth it ($1 ice cream...can't pass that up). If you want to observe the ice cream making process, make sure you don't wait too long as the observation deck closes several hours before the rest of the facilities.

$1 bowls of ice cream!!!!! So good! They call them scoops but as you can see in the pictures, they are very generous with their “scoops”. We tried all the flavors, so worth the stop. BTW they stopped doing tours but you can still go up steaks and view through windows inside on how they make the ice cream. They also have a museum where it shows the history of the company and facts about the ice cream. We found out new favorite rest stop.

After much anticipation, we were finally able to visit the legendary Blue Bell Ice Cream shop in Brenham, Texas. The opportunity to taste several ice cream flavors exactly where they are produced was fantastic. The ice cream was COLD and of course wonderful, and I had a nice time at this location. Particularly given how HOT it was outdoors at the time, it was the ideal relaxing setting.

I finally had my first visit! I'm thankful for being able to observe the packaging of Blue Bell Ice Cream. It's not every day that I'm able to enjoy a scoop of authentic BBIC for that price! I also enjoy learning the history of Blue Bell. Though it's not as big as I thought it was, I appreciated the privilege of being able to tour the facilities. My grandaughter and I had a wonderful visit.

Fun few hours. Museum and observatory are free. Then finish up at the creamy with dollar scoops that are a good size!

Always a nice yearly visit here ! Great tasting ice cream with plenty of made here ice cream options. The staff is always top notch here. $1 scoops can’t beat it.

Really fun visit to the plant where Blue Bell ice cream is made. You can only walk upstairs to the Observation Area, but it is nice to see everyone in their sanctuary white scrubs packing boxes and moving cartons around. Small museum in the Visitors Center is worth a stop because there's a five minute movie of production in progress. Ice cream cups sold too, for only $1 scoop. Good road trip stop.

Nice small place to visit. Very crowded during spring break but great shuttle system that allows you to park across the street near the stadium.

Great place to visit, especially during a hot Texas summer day. There’s lots of ice cream to choose from, an observation deck, and a cool gift shop to check out as well. Great place to take family & friends 🍨😊❤🍦

A good place to know more about BlueBell history and also production. The deck is there to show how the packaging is done. We get one dollar each ice cream cup of all the flavours.

What a fun, easy place to visit! The $1 big scoops of ice cream are the highlight. Several varieties are only available at the creamery, e.g., Lemon Cookie on a recent visit. Other varieties are hard to find, like the chocolate cake from The Magnolias restaurant. At a buck a pop, try several! Seeing the production line is quick, too, but no photos allowed.

It was awesome visiting the Ice Cream Factory during the summer. Great tour and amazing ice cream!
