Feeling the heat of our perpetual summer? Fret not, ‘cause frosty fun is coming to our tropical island and we’re so psyched for it. That’s right, the uber popular Museum of Ice Cream will fling open its doors in August this year. Singapore is the chosen destination for the experiential exhibition’s first-ever international location after its sold-out stints in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Miami. Heads up: this ice cream attraction is one of the most Instagrammed museums in the world – celebs like Beyonce, David Beckham and the Kardashians are fans – so you’d better get your cameras ready.
Everything you need to know about the Museum of Ice Cream in Singapore
The date is set for August. The place? Dempsey. It’ll find its home within a sprawling space taking up 60,000 sq ft, surrounded by lush foliage. You already know what to expect from photos, but the Singapore version will spotlight 14 never-before-seen installations – all devoted to ice cream. So if that’s your fave dessert, you’ll be thrilled to have countless photo ops.
Watch out for a Dragon Playground inspired by our very own old school one, and a pink and yellow jungle with 10,000 bananas. Plus, the icing on the cake – you’ll feast your eyes on the largest sprinkle pool in the museum’s history.
Wondering what else to expect? You’ll be taken through the enchanting experience by museum performers, enjoying five one-of-a-kind ice cream goodies along the way. Just set aside 60 to 90 minutes of your day to immerse yourself in these poppin’ pastels.

Can’t wait till August? From now till 27 May, the museum welcomes you to its teaser retail space in Design Orchard.

Or grab a can of American Wheat beer ($7.90 each) made by Brewlander using raspberry and pink guava.
