Museum of Ice Cream will come to the Seaport in 2024
November 9, 2023 | 10:04 AM
Bostonians are ready to take their love of ice cream to the next level.
Museum of Ice Cream will be opening a location in the Seaport in 2024, allowing visitors to explore two floors of entertainment and discovery, inspired by the frozen dessert. It will feature 14 interactive installations that will immerse guests in the celebration of ice cream and Boston’s culture — while offering them the chance to indulge in some sweet treats, of course. The destination comes from Museum of Ice Cream, known for designing multi-sensory “experiums,” which co-founder and co-CEO Maryellis Bunn described in a Forbes article as “spaces and places for people to reconnect” through the pull of ice cream.
Here’s what readers had to say about an official state ice cream
“It was always a dream of mine to build a museum in Boston, so it’s an honor to celebrate two important elements of my childhood, art and ice cream, by opening Museum of Ice Cream in the city,” Museum of Ice Cream co-founder and co-CEO Manish Vora said in a press release. “We’re not a replacement for museums, but are instead a place where guests can forget the worries of the outside world, act like a kid, and dream that anything is pop-sicle.”

At the museum, visitors will be able to take in a variety of spectacles and wonders. There will be an interactive history of ice cream exhibit, as well as a carnival paying tribute to Fenway Park. When guests stop by The Hall of Freezers, they’ll find dozens of refrigerator doors to investigate. No ice cream museum would be complete without a sprinkle pool filled with antimicrobial and biodegradable sprinkles, disco bananas, and a multi-sensory laboratory. At Mary-E’s Diner, a “retro-futurism inspired hub,” ice cream themed treats and drinks will be offered, in a space overlooking the marina. Guests can also enjoy unlimited tasting options during their adventures.
“Our goal is that Boston locals and guests will visit the museum and break from the traditional experience, by saying ‘yes’ to jumping in a pool of sprinkles, sliding down a two-story slide, playing in a baseball-themed carnival, and perhaps even sipping on a pinktini,” Vora said in the press release.
There are other Museum of Ice Cream locations in Austin, Chicago, and Singapore, and a Miami institution is in development.

The Women’s Building MaestraPeace Mural
3543 18th St.
The Women’s Building is internationally recognized for its MaestraPeace Mural, which honors women’s contributions to art, science, and social justice worldwide. Painted in 1994 across two walls, this mural results from a multi-cultural, multi-generational collaboration between seven women artists. If collaboration is what you’re after, then venture a few blocks down to Lazy Bear, one of the most sought-after dining experiences in San Francisco, or Good Good Culture Club, if you’re in the mood to explore east and southeast Asian cuisine with a California twist.
Carnaval Mural
24th St. and South Van Ness Ave.
Known as the “Golden Dreams of the Mission,” the Carnaval Mural located above the House of Breaks on the corner of 24th St. and South Van Ness Ave. is an impressive 24 feet tall and 75 feet wide. Originally painted in 1983 by muralist Daniel Galvez with the help of local artists Dan Fontes, Keith Sklar, Jaime Morgan, Eduardo Pineda, and Jan Sheild, the painting depicts the energy and spirit from the city’s first Carnaval event in 1979. Keep Penny Roma on your radar when in the area. Their Italian cuisine makes for a great spot for an evening dinner.
Precita Eyes Mural Arts and Visitor Center
2981 24th St.
Many people looking to explore the local murals come to the Precita Eyes Mural Arts and Visitor Center. It’s no wonder why; this community-based non-profit is filled with works by local artists and offers self-guided and guided tours that cover the murals’ history, cultural and historical significance. If you visit this mural, you’re also in for a sweet treat. Just across the street is Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream, a Mission District favorite scooping unique and seasonal flavors since 2008.
