Blue Bell Creameries is a delightful destination for those seeking a unique and interesting place to visit. The site includes a visitor center that tells the story of the company's origins, showcasing artifacts from the past like a punch clock and a refrigeration machine. Visitors can also observe the ice cream production line through a viewing area, shop at the gift store, and enjoy tasting and buying various single-scoop ice cream flavors at the parlor. It was a great experience for us to discover more about the company while enjoying some tasty ice cream.

It’s a great way to spend a few hours with family and explore some new ice cream flavors

Terribly sweet and artificial. Our group couldn’t finish it — way too sugary and heavy. Everything you see in the photo is all we could eat; the rest went straight to the trash.

My family and I visited on Oct 20, between the hours of 1:00-3:30. It was nice, but we expected more. The observation deck should have a recording that tells you about the process of making the ice cream, boxing it, and shipping it out. Or maybe have one of the workers down below wear an intercom to tell us about the process, what the machines do, what flavor is being made at the time, etc. The gift shop was very nice. We were excited about the parlor until we were, or should I say weren't, greeted by some of the staff. Blue Bell should be welcoming and joyful! But the 2 young black girls working behind the first little section of ice cream we came to were very rude. We didn't get one smile, no greeting, no recommendation! They lack customer service skills and showed no sign to us, or others while I watched, a welcoming experience! The museum was interesting. It doesn't have a lot of displays, but the stuff they have definitely captures your attention. We enjoyed the areas outside to sit and talk about our experience there, while watching the bumblebees pollinate the flowers. A suggestion I have is have a kid friendly zone. Maybe have a section that staff can show and help kids make their own ice cream using the old fashion churners, a coloring station, or even a suggestion box where they can drop in ideas of flavors or names of flavors. Overall it was a nice visit, just train and retrain staff to be more friendly and welcoming.

$1 Ice Cream large scoop! That's the highlight, and over 30 flavors to choose from with many options only avaliable in their parlors.
Also plan to visit the history of Blue Bell, a small baseball museum, and tour the Observation Deck to oversee the whole production.
Gift shop is also available for Blue Bell enthusiasts.

I loved the free hat and the $1 ice cream scope for sure but hated that when looking at the progress of making ice cream not alot of action at the time

Best deal ever — one dollar per scoop! Yep, you read that right… $1. And not those tiny scoops — these are massive, super generous, and packed with flavor. 🍦 and there’s a no added sugar vanilla option I loved!
They’ve got unique flavors you won’t find anywhere else, and the best part? You can sample them all before deciding. Spoiler: you’ll want them all.
It’s hidden on the second floor, but trust me — once you find it, you’ll be hooked. Absolute gem. 11/10, highly recommended! 🙌✨

It was good...some of the staff doesn't seem too happy to work there... rude rushed to get people out the way... cold like the ice-cream served.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blue Bell Creamery – Brenham, TX
If heaven had a gift shop and smelled like fresh waffle cones, it would definitely be the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham. 🍦
First off — the history tour? Cool doesn’t even begin to describe it. You walk through this old-school building that still feels like it could crank out milkshakes from the 1900s, and you can literally feel the nostalgia oozing out of the walls (along with the smell of sweet, sweet ice cream dreams). You get to learn how Blue Bell started as this small-town creamery, and somehow grew into the hero of every Texan’s freezer.
Then there are the adorable little shops and the whole “Main Street in a Hallmark movie” vibe — it’s the kind of place where you expect someone to hand you a basket of wildflowers and say “y’all come back now.”
But the real star of the show? The $1 SCOOPS. Yes, you read that right — a single dollar gets you a glorious scoop of the creamiest, dreamiest ice cream known to humankind. I almost asked if they made a mistake, but then I realized it’s just small-town Texas magic at work. Pro tip: don’t stop at one. Your diet can start tomorrow.
All in all, Blue Bell Creamery isn’t just a tour — it’s a vibe. It’s part nostalgia trip, part sugar high, and 100% worth the drive. If joy had a flavor, it would taste like Homemade Vanilla served in a waffle cone for a buck. 💙🍨
We had a great time . Delicious ice cream . $1 dollar for a really big scoop 😋

One of the cutest places ever!!! You get an ice cream maker hat and $1 ice cream scoops!! I really wish we could take a field trip with our classes here!! Highly recommend, especially for families with kids, but aren't we all kids at heart anyway?? Absolutely LOVED!!
