If you are looking for a place off the beaten path--you have found it! The creamery tour last about 45 minutes. The price for admission was only $8 for adults and $6 for children. This was my second visit and the kids first. They have added on an ice cream parlor and gift shop since my last visit. You will... More

We went to Brenham specifically to go on the Blue Bell tour. Even with the $6 admission fee, it was well worth it. When you're waiting for the tour, there are a lot of interesting things to see in the lobby. Our tour guide was very nice, bubbly and really knew her stuff. After the tour, you got a nice... More

My husband and I rode our Harleys to Brenham just for the factory. It was well worth it. The tour was short but interesting and fun. At the end we feasted on some ice cream. A must see!

Interesting and informative tour on how Blue Bell ice cream is made. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. You can watch the workers from second floor windows. The guide was knowledgable and able to answer most questions from the group. While waiting for your tour of about 30 minutes to start you can read or watch videos... More

The Little Creamery has changed since my first visit in the early 90s. The tour has expanded and there is more to see. The landscape outside has improved and statues have been added. They no longer show you a movie in a little theatre but there are segments shown on several different TV screens in the tour waiting area. The... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour which was so informative. And we've never seen anything so clean! Loved the ice cream parlor - the free scoop was a big one!!! And the 17 selections were great. Just had to go back for another scoop for a $1 - what a deal!!!

We visited during Spring Break and it was very crowded. Because of the crowd we decided to skip the tour but we did go into the Ice Cream Parlor for some Blue Bell. As always, it was delicious but we had hoped for a wide assortment to choose from. They only offered maybe twelve flavors, most of which were the... More
