MOIC Spectacular Sprinkle

Welcome to another adventure post.  In April, Luis and I went to San Francisco for the weekend to celebrate my birthday.  To start the weekend, we went to the Museum of Ice Cream.  This was my second time going this year, but Luis' first time.  Compared to the first time, the MOIC was a little different.  The museum got newer, bigger and brighter installments.  As you begin to read, you'll see that it's basically pictures of us, sorry!  Let's begin:

The beginning of the experience is either going down a pink tunnel slide or a set of stairs.  Once you reach the bottom, the first installment is Sweeter Theater.  Its exactly what you think it is, movie theater vibes.  When you walked down the aisle and there's a concession stand.  At the concession stand, they'll hand you an ice cream sandwich while you wait for the activity.  The activity was creating an ice cream name for yourself and talking about the rules of the museum.

The following installment was the Diner.  I loved the Diner.  It's still Marye's Diner.  It also continues to have the same items from the first time I went.  It has diner vibes with a jukebox, long play discs, telephone cord, and the stools.  They also handed out a snack that looked like fries with ketchup.  The "ketchup" was red velvet ice cream and bread fries.  Based on what I saw and tasted.  Not a fan of the bread but the ice cream was sooooo good.  I loved red velvet, I thought it was spot on.

In the Dream, I felt positive vibes.  From the last time I remember,  it was only the letter magnets.  However, this time they added in fortune cookies in the middle along with side clouds coming from the sky.  It was really cute!  Luis and I were playing with the magnets and an employee came behind us and said "oh, that's so cute! Do you want me to take a picture of you guys?"  We said "sure!"  He came out of nowhere and scared us, but I'm glad he captured this moment for us.

So I technically wouldn't call it the Pinata installment, but a party one? I mean that is the vibes I got. I interpreted the clapping hands in two ways.  Those that you grab and you shake to make them clap, do you know what I mean? (I don't know how to explain things). But I also understood it as a party where people are clapping their hands when they're done singing HBD. At first, we were confused about the second part of the installment until we started playing with it, it was the blowy thing. I loved it, it was entertaining.

There was another installment that I'm not 100% what it is called but there's shapes and round things to stand on. When you walk in there was a bunch of candy; it was simple but nice.

The next installment is the same from the previous times, the animal circus. 

Rainbow was another installment that was there previously and it also had the little mirrors... I think that's what they're called.

The Mint installment there was cotton candy! Another sweet and simple installment.

I'm stuck between loving and disliking the Sprinkle Pool.  This time around the Sprinkle Pool was the ending of the museum.  I loved that there was no timing on how long you can stay in the Sprinkle Pool but I disliked that it was packed. I felt like there was no structure.  There were little kids and they were throwing the "sprinkles." Oh also! Since the pool is 4x bigger the little sprinkles they had  is not enough for the new installment, so they used bigger "sprinkles."  Once you stepped on them they hurt so much! So, can you imagine the little kids throwing them? OUCH! However, I do like that you had unlimited time in the pool.

That pretty much wraps up my MOIC Spectacular Sprinkle post...This was my second time at MOIC and it was a completely different experience and I loved it. I think all and all it was good. My only issue really was the sprinkle pool, but it's not that serious.  I think everyone should at least go once to the MOIC for the experience, but keep a lookout for our weekend in SF. 

Thank you,
