If you love Blue Bell ice cream, you can't miss a tour of the factory. You get a guided tour with narration and overhead views ot the entire process. The best come last, a bowl of ice cream of your flavor selection in their very nice tasting room. More

It's a nice place for anyone to have some delicious ice cream and learn how much pride Blue Blue takes in their product. It's a pretty and fun place to visit. If you are less than thirty minutes away don't miss out on the tour or just stop by to have some ice cream. I tied in the visit with... More

They have revised the tour and country store. The only complaint is you only get one scoop of ice cream for free at the end of the tour. I was here as a vender for work so I got to go behind the scenes and yes they do get to "eat all they can and sell the rest". More

This was a really fun trip. We saw a number of kids there on a field trip, and tons of people just checking it out on their own. We took the first tour. I suggest getting their 15 minutes before the first tour. Tours fill up fast, and the lines get long. Neither of these two events occurring are pleasurable... More

If you love ice cream you can't pass on the opportunity to see a quick tour at the Blue Bell Ice Factory. The tour is about 25 minutes long. You get to see the different stages of production and hear the Blue Bell story. Then you are nicely provided a large bowl of your choice of flavor at the end.... More
