Really enjoyed the visit to Blue Bell Creameries! This was my third visit, the first being in high school - now I m 45. Before, there was a tour and things were somewhat different. I think this has improved. The best part of the tour was the last room, which was the upper level observation deck, which is now the only part that s open - but now it s free and you can stand there and watch as long as you want, and there are staff members to answer questions. They still have lots of flavors of ice cream for sale by the scoop (big scoops!) for just $1 each. And you can walk through a museum type room with neat photos of the history of the company, and watch a movie - or not. Go straight to the ice cream if you want! Also a small gift shop. Big campus, very clean, super friendly staff, and of course the best ice cream in the world. You should go! Plus, Brenham is beautiful. Worth a trip.
