Blue Bell Creameries Review

small museum of blue bells history. observation deck to look at the packaging floor.
Highlight is dollar ice cream shop

Blue Bell history museum, ice cream production view, and $1 scoops. Great place to learn about the ice cream company of Texas.

Friendly & helpful people. It was interesting to see how the container filling stations worked.

Spring break chaos, $1 for a large scoop of ice cream and wonderful friendly staff!

No tours but the visitor center tells the story and the ice cream parlor is only $1 a big scoop. ..

Who doesn't love blue bell ice cream. Had an amazing time.

Super fun, but don't plan all day here! There is an observation deck to watch the workers. My kids enjoyed seeing how all the production line worked. Then we had ice cream in the parlor area. The room holds a lot of people but the line moved fast and the wait wasn't long at all. Ice cream scoops are $1 each - take my advice!!! No one in my family could decide on 1 flavor to choose, so we each picked 2... 2 scoops is way too much ice cream lol I didn't think there was a things but I was wrong. It was delicious and a fun little trip!

Blue bell is my favorite Ice cream desert all year long.

Just as good as in the past. Love the Black cherry.

There are flavors at this place you cannot get anywhere else. The people who work there will never get anohter job. They have one of the lowest turnover percentages. The people who work behind the ice cream countwr serving it are very nice. The tour is kind of short but it is an experience I would suggest. It is a sight to see when you witness the whole process if the ice cream made and packaged.

Love ice cream ? Come and see Yourself where it all starts, visit the country store where you can buy Blue Bell gifts and taste some of your favorite and delicious ice cream, from Monday to Friday You can see how they make it, great experience.

Wonderful place to visit. .Staff is very friendly. .

Cool experience, although I was highly dissapointed that after I drove all the way up there (about 2 hours) that they don't do tours anymore. They should really take it off there website considering I was told when I got up there that they had not done a tour in 4 years.also I would be nice consider we were at the factory to have more options for flavors to try at the icecream parlor, there was only like 12 options and I really would have expected them to have the new rasberry fudge brownie, and they did not.

Great day trip! Ate ice cream for breakfast at Blue Bell Creamery, took a stroll in downtown Brenham and stopped at the antique shops, ate lunch at Brenham grill. The day was really special.

Things have changed in the tour. You can only look in the observation area. It's a good place to see.

best ice cream in the south, proud to be raised in Brenham, the birthplace of Blue Bell

We had lots of fun. Should have thought about it being spring break. Lots of people and it was very chaotic in the ice cream area.

Never had the ice cream before and really liked it .... family had a great time as well

Awesome staff and neat experience! Wish we could see more of the factory from the viewing deck but still a good insight; you can't beat the $1 ice cream scoop!

It was interesting. Matt, in the viewing gallery, was very knowledgeable. The $1.- single scoop in the Ice cream parlor was very generous.

First time visiting the creamery. They had a cool little gift shop, wished they offered a tour through their facilities though.

We would have liked to go into the factory, but it was closed

I came here before the shut down so I was bummed when they reopened the factory, they limited what we can see from the observatory. But I did had fun going to the visitor center and re-read the history of Blue Bell. I still love enjoying a scoop of ice cream... maybe 2 more

A nice place to stop on the way between Houston and Austin. Tasty ice cream

Love Blue Bell ice cream and was looking forward to going on the tour when we were in Brenham for a wedding earlier this summer. I wish someone would have told us that they are closed on weekends. :(

We walked around the grounds and saw the statues they had in their main courtyard. I will be sure to come back on a weekday so I can do the tour and get those free samples.

Nice to see the ice cream work area - that was my fav. Wish they did a pistachio ice cream!

Who doesn't love Blue Bell Ice cream? A have to visit place if you find yourself in Breham, Tx.

So fun to take the kids to see where their favorite ice cream is made .

Free samples and cups of ice cream for a dollar awesome

SO FUN! Such a great place to take out-of-town visitors especially! A wonderful piece of Texas! The $1 scoops can't be beat, the fun museum, the guide at the observation deck with his wealth of knowledge - all of it!

Enjoyed our visit: the tour, tasting, & history. We very much wish that the video of the story of Blue Bell was available to purchase.

Awesome! Fun for the whole family! Great day trip. It's Definitely a TEXAS thing!

Great place to bring the kids. $1 Ice-cream cups. Don't eat the blue ice-cream, it comes out same color next day. Haha.

Underwhelming. Not only was the visitors center closed, but the observation deck as well. On a summer s Saturday. The scooper s weren t particularly friendly or excited to scoop for a kid excited for fresh ice cream. Not worth the drive up from downtown Houston.

Blue Bell is one of the holy places to true Texans.

Always fun to stop here. $1 ice cream cone and great gift shop.

The kids liked it, it's a one and done sort of thing

Blue Bell Ice Cream doesn t require a review - it s been my favorite ice cream from birth!

A very kool place to visit. You get $1 ice cream in many flavors and tour of the factory is not to be missed. I have gone here several times and will be going again tomorrow,

I think I saw heaven through the ethereal veil while I was here.

Super friendly staff, beautiful & immaculate Blue Bell Creamery campus! Our family members are proudly, longtime Blue Bell fans! We finally got the opportunity to visit, which made it even sweeter! Must see to really appreciate! Brenham is blessed to have Blue Bell as the centerpiece of their quaint, charming lil Texas town!

Just about as entertaining as this area can get. Lots of fun to see the ice cream factory and museums.

They were friendly and patient with our 3 busses of 5th graders!

Visited here in my birthday and wasn't disappointed I took a tour and bought some swag

The place was a hot mess. Children were out of control. Not impressed w/ watching employees work. $1 a scoop!

Super friendly and nice people. Amazing ice cream. The tour was closed due to covid but still a great road trip stop

Loved it! Answered all my questions on history of the ice cream I ate as a kid with my grandfather. Cool to.see them make it.

Unfortunately the factory was standing still. We could not see the fabrication.

Awesome stop between Houston and Austin. Swing in to learn about their history and grab a $1 scoop!

This is the best ice cream ever!! We love blue bell ice cream!

Omg. My daughter had an awesome time there and she enjoyed the free ice cream at the end of the tour.

Great icecream!
Social distancing well maintained.

Man oh man. I mean, do I really need to go into why it's 5 stars?

This place being the headquater of the Blue Bell worths the time to pay them a visit. There is no charge for it. One can read about the history of it and take a peak of how the make the ice cream the industrial way. $1.00 for half pint of the flavor they have in display. Employees are really polite and kind. Plenty of parking lot and handicap spots, even big shuttles can accomodate. Not open on weekends.

Nice places to take photos, very good ice cream and they allow you to see the snow bottling process, good experience.
