Miami has just boosted its global city credentials with the addition of another museum. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Miami, within the vibrant Miami Worldcenter, the Museum of Ice Cream Miami officially opened its doors on September 6th, 2024. Offering a colorful, immersive, and multi-sensory experience, it stands out from the more traditional Perez Art Museum and Frost Museum of Science, located nearby. Where else in Miami could visitors hop on a “Creamliner,” jump into a sprinkle pool, and play Ice Cream Scoop Whac-A-Mole against one of the most instagrammable neon-colored backdrops around? And, entry includes free ice cream!
Fun for All Ages
Kids love exploring the 14,000-square-foot, two-floor museum, which features attractions like the “Grand Hall of Freezers,” where surprises await behind every door, and the magical “Rainbow Tunnel.” But it’s not just for kids—adults can sip on cocktails like the Pinktini (a vanilla vodka and bubble gum syrup mix) at the museum’s “Diner.” With ten different interactive experiences, there’s something to entertain visitors of all ages, making it one of the most visually stimulating and fun-filled day-out options in the city. Plus, everyone leaves with a lot more knowledge about ice cream!
Rave Reviews
If that’s not enticing enough, the reviews have been stellar. Martin Vassolo of Axios noted, “it won’t just be the ice cream that kids scream about” upon entering the museum, and Lisa Pertillo of CBS News Miami called it a “sweet treat” in a recent television segment. Visitors are raving too—one five-star Google review praised it as a “wonderful interactive experience for both children and adults,” while another noted how “friendly” and engaging the staff were. Still, the only way to truly grasp the magnificence of the experience is to see it for yourself.
Miami’s New Cultural Gem
For Miami, this museum is as much about offering a fun day out as it is about solidifying the city’s status on the global stage. Longtime residents may remember the original Museum of Ice Cream pop-up in South Beach in 2017, which attracted massive crowds. After seven years, Miami now has a permanent location, joining the ranks of cities like Austin, Boston, Chicago, New York, and Singapore. This permanent presence elevates Miami’s cultural landscape, blending entertainment with art and immersive experiences in a way few other places can. It also strengthens the city’s reputation as a hub for innovative attractions, drawing in locals and tourists alike for a whimsical, one-of-a-kind adventure.

About Total Snacks
Total Snacks’ mission is to always provide the highest quality snack food for people to enjoy wherever and whenever. The business began in 2015 by entrepreneurs Eleazar López Contreras and Mabe León-Ponte, a husband and wife team, who immediately noticed a lack of high-quality snacking options around their new home in Miami, Florida. From its humble beginnings as a single retail kiosk, the couple has worked tirelessly and creatively to bring the best in class snack foods to the region.
Today, Total Snacks stands out as the premier provider of snack foods and catering in Miami. Its products can be found in over 300 independent outlets, and the company provides contract catering solutions to some of the largest sporting and entertainment venues in the area, while bringing smiles to thousands of people a year through its corporate and private catering activities. Despite its success, Total Snacks has never wavered from its core mission to offer the highest quality snack foods and the best customer service.
