The first question that came to my mind during our Singapore trip was, should I visit a museum with my 10-month-old? Now that I did visit the Museum of ice cream in Singapore I am happy that I decided to take the leap with a baby to care for. This post is entirely about my experience of visiting this place with my baby and what to look forward to along with things to look out for.
Is it a museum?
Museum of ice cream is not one of your regular museums which has preserved animal skin or ornaments that are centuries old. This so-called museum is so PINK. It is full of facts about ice creams with many fun things to do and click pictures. It is more fun to visit with kids than just as couples.
How to buy tickets?
I purchased my tickets via Klook as a travel pass. This saved me a lot of money when I purchased Singapore attraction tickets in bulk.
You can just buy museum of ice cream tickets as well on Klook.
You can buy tickets from the official website of Museum of Ice Cream as well.
Ticket cost
Foreigners: 43 SGD
Singapore residents: 35 SGD
Children under 2: Free for all nationalities
Note:
– Museum of ice cream is closed on Tuesdays
– Advanced booking is recommended
Note: If you book your tickets via my link in Klook you will get some discount. I will also get a minimal percentage from Klook for your booking at no additional cost to you.
Do I have to buy tickets for kids?
The entry is free for kids under 2 years. Children under 12 have to be accompanied by adults and regular ticket cost applies.
What to pack for a baby/kids?
- Sweater
- Stroller/Baby Carrier
- Water bottle (sipper bottle)
- Baby food/snacks
- Diapers
- Wet tissues
- Spare clothes
- Small towel
- Carry along your pumped/formula milk
Note: There is no nursing room at Museum of Ice Cream
What to do at Museum of Ice Cream?
There are play areas within the museum with wallpapers in different shades and patterns of pink. There are ice cream stations as well after every activity room.
Are the ice creams unlimited?
Yes, but the options/choices you get are very less. Except Ben and Jerry’s, the other ice creams weren’t rich in taste, so you wouldn’t want to consume more than 2 at any station.

Different types of rooms

You can give yourself an ice cream name and click pictures before you proceed to the next room. You will get to learn a lot of interesting facts about ice creams.
Carnival
This space has a mirror, a ball game for kids and a toy picking machine.
California Dreamin’
This is the first ice cream station that you will come across.
Wall of alphabets
This room was fun where you can use magnets to write anything that you want.
Scream’s diner
This is the 2nd ice cream station with good seating arrangements. You will prefer this station if you have kids.
Inflatable Float
A giant inflatable float where you and your kids can jump together. My 10 month old enjoyed to the core here.
Rainbow tunnel
This is good for pictures.

It looked more like a popsicle room. This is also an ice cream station.

A passage full of colorful bananas.

You will be asked to remove your shoes, socks and then jump into the colorful plastic sprinkle pool. Please take care of your belongings as it can easily get lost in the sprinkles.
Conclusion and thoughts
Museum of ice cream in Singapore was fun mainly because I went with my family especially with my baby. If you are a solo traveller apart from clicking pictures there is nothing that you can count as fun here.
Though the ice creams in all the 4 stations were unlimited, apart from the one at the Ben & Jerry’s station in Art’s corner, I didn’t feel the other ice creams were worth the hype.
It is recommended to book tickets online as when I went, I saw a lot of people waiting outside not being able to enter as the slots were full.
If you book a slot during a certain time, you should make sure you reach there on time, otherwise entry might not be allowed.
If you are going along with kids, fun is assured!

I am also travelling to Singapore next month with my baby and was thinking about paying a visit here. This post is helpful.
