Quick pause on my Ecuador explorations since how can you go to the Museum of Ice Cream and not share all the amazing pictures?! No, the fact that I’m lactose intolerant and going to a museum based on dairy was not lost on me, but at least I got to play even if I can’t eat it. In case you’ve never heard of it, The Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC) was started in NYC and from the first day I saw it, I was jealous that NYC was getting yet another cool museum/experience. Luck was on my side as they decided to make it a touring event and San Francisco was a destination! Thanks to Amex I was able to get pre-sales tickets to one of the most coveted events in San Francisco. My friend Alyssa and I showed up at MOIC on Sunday, November 5th (yes, I’m still that backlogged here…) for a 9pm entrance prepared for similar silliness as the Color Factory I previously visited. As another place considered an “Instagrammer’s dream,” how could we not take a million pictures?
Please note my discontent with the lack of dairy free ice cream.
Words of love one week after the Sonoma fires began and Dub Nation that was put up that morning when Steph Curry and his family visited.
Cotton Candy – something I could actually eat!
Casually trying to pull a popsicle out of the wall
Alyssa wouldn’t pose with the unicorn, but I still got a rainbow pic. Same same.

Time to prep for the sprinkle pool (that would later have us finding sprinkles everywhere for a few days)
Life sized candy!
One last swing
Time to say bye!
It was really great how they limited the number of people entering at once. That said, getting a 9pm entrance meant we had just under 1.5 hours. In a place like this you don’t want to rush! I think if I hadn’t been to the Color Factory already this would have topped my dreams as the most fun “immersive art exhibit” (as some have described it), but I gotta say… MOIC came in second in my heart. In any case, if it comes to a city near you then definitely try to get tickets!
Now I’ll get back to detailing Ecuador 🙂
