“Blue Bell Creamery Tours”

It all started on a hot summer day when local farmers decided to establish the Brenham Creamery Company and make butter from excess cream brought in by area farmers. A few years later, the creamery began making ice cream and delivering it to neighbors by horse and wagon. It was in 1930 that the company changed its name to Blue Bell Creameries after the native Texas bluebell wildflower. And although Blue Bell is only available in about 26% of the nation’s supermarkets, it ranks as one of the top three, best-selling ice creams in the country. Our products are sold in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming. No matter how much the market grows, quality standards never change and are never diluted or compromised. That's why, people who are lucky enough to live where they can buy Blue Bell Ice Cream, say it's "the best ice cream in the country."

They are not currently offering tours due to a recent recall. They just started making ice cream again. Lesson: call before you drive.

This was a great trip on our road trip to Austin. It has a very clean, well-done visitor’s center that tells the history of Blue Bell. You can also go to an observation to deck to see them packaging ice cream, visit the gift shop, and enjoy Blue Bell ice cream for $1 a scoop.

Fun site! See how ice cream is made and enjoy a creamy treat of your choice only downside is that it is a real factory and only open on weekdays.

Great ice cream at only $1 for a very generous scoop. The observation deck to see down to the factory floor closes at 2. Our only complaint was that the young lady reading her book in the museum information desk wasn't very interested in helping us. We had to ask very specific questions to find out where to go and what to do and she put her head down to read between each question.

They are now having tours but you can't use the link from this page. Simply google bluebell.com for information. It's a cute little tour to take with the kids.
