Your new date-night spot is here!
MOIC Boston promises a multi-sensory, hands-on experience that combines all the magic of ice cream with a giant dose of creativity. Imagine stepping into a space where every corner invites you to play, taste, and even jump into a pool of sprinkles (yes, really). It’s like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, but with more Instagram-worthy moments and fewer Oompa Loompas. You’ll find yourself sliding down a two-story slide, diving into the sprinkle pool, and savoring unlimited ice cream in a carnival of flavors.
A sweet escape!
For all the Bostonians out there, one of the most exciting features of this new location is FunWay Park—a carnival area inspired by none other than Fenway Park. Here, visitors can enjoy games and sweet treats inspired by classic ballpark snacks, like cotton candy that tastes like caramel-buttered popcorn. Sign us up! If you’ve ever dreamed of lounging in a living room made entirely of cookies, your dream has just come true. Enter the Cookie Living Room, a whimsical space that’s exactly what it sounds like: a cozy area crafted from “Chipwiches” (cookies with ice cream between them, for those who don’t get it). The furniture’s made of cookies, the décor is cookie-themed, and hidden doors lead to an ice cream library filled with tasty secrets. It’s like the cookie monster met a Pinterest board and they decided to throw a party. Of course, being in Boston, you know the Museum of Ice Cream wouldn’t be complete without a local twist. MOIC has come up with a Lobstah Ice Cream. Yep, you heard that right. And if that’s not enough to tempt your taste buds, MOIC is also introducing a Salted Vanilla Fudge Milkshake in collaboration with the beloved Friendly’s brand. You’ll be able to sip on this exclusive milkshake while nibbling on one of Friendly’s four ice cream bars, like Fudge Brownie, Cherry Fudge, Caramel Waffle Cone, and Cookie Dough.
“As a Massachusetts native, it’s a personal thrill to bring the magic of the Museum of Ice Cream to Boston’s Seaport District. This museum blends imagination, creativity, and local Bostonian charm, and we’re excited to become a major part of the rich tourism and attraction history of the city and are looking forward to welcoming visitors from all over the globe, as we bring childlike joy to Boston and contribute to the continued growth of South Boston as a true entertainment destination,” said Co-Founder and CEO of Museum of Ice Cream, Manish Vora. “This opening marks a significant chapter in our brand’s continued expansion as our twelfth global location since our inception and sixth permanent location, as we strive to inspire connection, fun, and wonder across the globe,” said Vora.
“We’re excited to welcome the Museum of Ice Cream to Seaport. It brings a unique blend of art, culture, and play that aligns perfectly with our community’s innovative spirit. This family-friendly attraction will be a great addition to our neighborhood’s diverse offerings,” said Ariel Foxman, Vice President, Brand & Experience, Boston Seaport by WS Development.
Experiential Marketing for the win!
In an age of digital saturation and short attention spans, brands are increasingly turning to immersive, sensory-driven experiences to captivate consumers. The Museum of Ice Cream’s latest Boston location is the perfect example of how companies are combining entertainment, culture, and products to create unforgettable, multi-sensory experiences. From jumping into sprinkle pools to tasting quirky, locally inspired flavors, MOIC’s success shows how brands are shifting focus from traditional advertising to experiential marketing, where customers don’t just buy a product—they live the brand. This is the Figure 8 company’s 6th permanent location, with stores in Austin, Chicago, New York City, Singapore, and Miami. Whether it’s pop-up installations, interactive events, or branded attractions, companies are realizing that the best way to build consumer loyalty is through creating moments that feel magical and personal.
