Museum of Ice Cream, a global experiential brand known for its immersive, multi-sensory experiums inspired by ice cream, is making a sweet return to Miami with a new permanent location at Miami Worldcenter.
The new South Florida location in downtown Miami is set to open on September 6th.
Museum of Ice Cream is the only immersive experience where everyone plays like a kid and eats unlimited ice cream together. The Miami location spans 14,000 square feet over two floors and is the next generation of interactive museums and a tribute to the city’s vibrant international spirit, culture, hospitality and love of ice cream.
The new location promises to be the most playful, joyous, educational, and tasty iteration yet, with visitors anticipated from over 80 countries in the first year.
Highlights include a retro ‘Cream Liner,’ a 60’s inspired luxury airplane that transports you from downtown Miami to a world of endless possibility where anything is pop-sicle. Guests explore ‘A Grand Hall of Freezers’, filled with mysterious doors, where you discover surprises, wonders and of course, treats. Top off your adventure by sliding down a double helix slide into the world famous sprinkle pool, designed as a tribute to the iconic Versace Mansion.
To enhance the journey through scent and taste, Museum of Ice Cream Miami partnered with sensory scientists at International Flavors and Fragrances, to create a multi sensory tasting experience that takes you on a journey through the flavors of the tropical city. In celebration of opening, Museum of Ice Cream Miami will feature new flavors from beloved local creamery Azucar Ice Cream. Museum of Ice Cream Miami is also going to serve Cosmic Bliss for the first time featuring their new and creamy coconut based soft serve.
Adults can also let their imagination soar as they enjoy a date night or a fun night out with friends. From ice cream-themed cocktails, to hours of adults-only play, Museum of Ice Cream Miami hopes to inspire imagination so all guests can rediscover the kid within. Adults are taken on a transformational journey, allowing them to forget their adult worries by utilizing the power of play; from swimming in sprinkles, exploring banana jungles, playing in a carnival and of course, eating unlimited ice cream.
“Living in Miami, and opening a Museum at the Faena Bazaar back in 2018 was a dream for me and changed how I approached designing the past five museums we have opened around the world,” said Maryellis Bunn, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Museum of Ice Cream. With this Museum being a permanent build, I was able to push the boundaries of design and interactivity, making this the creamiest, most colorful, and tastiest museum yet. You’ll see sensory elements from taste, touch and smell incorporated throughout,” “I’m also excited to collaborate with so many incredible organizations like Style Saves and Groot Hospitality with many more to come.”
“Bringing the museum to Miami Worldcenter has been a game changer as it truly positions the Museum at the epicenter of downtown Miami and as a global arts destination. We have had tremendous support from the city and mayor’s office over the past 6 years. Miami continues to open its arms to innovation in hospitality, allowing creative entrepreneurs like us to launch ambitious concepts in an increasingly difficult national building environment,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Manish Vora.
“We are thrilled to become the home of Museum of Ice Cream’s first permanent location in Miami as we continuously look to bring unique concepts that elevate Downtown and Miami Worldcenter,” said Nitin Motwani, Managing Partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates. “The Museum will not only enhance the city’s status as a global arts and culture destination, but it will also cater to Miami Worldcenter’s diverse population of locals, visitors, and families alike,” said Shaul Kuba, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group.
