This Hidden Blue Bell Experience in Texas Includes Ice Cream, Souvenirs, and More

I am quite stunned at this news. I had no idea you could visit the Blue Bell factory, and that it's a whole thing.

Blue Bell Ice Cream is legendary around Texas. It's actually legendary to anyone who has tasted it. Blue Bell's Homemade Vanilla is more than enough to make them famous, but their other flavors, including seasonal options really send things into the stratosphere.

It's this intense love of Blue Bell that keeps us on top of all of the Blue Bell news. We cover any peep we hear about new flavors, flavors being brought back, or anything attached to the Blue Bell name.

This is why I'm stunned that I never knew you could visit the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham, Texas. It's actually quite a bit more than looking at a bunch of machines, they have a whole visitors center, country store, and yes, get ready for it...an ice cream parlor!

Blue Bell Ice Cream, Charms, and Pint Koozies? Yes, Please

I found that they have some very interesting souvenirs. If you're a bit of a collector they have James Avery Charms (that's a big deal around here), and you can also get koozies that are made to hold pints of Blue Bell Ice Cream. Now that's handy!

In case you're wondering, Brenham, Texas is located south of College Station, about halfway between Austin and Houston. You can find visiting hours here.

I feel like a bad Texan for not already knowing this fact. Can you even imagine a little visit to Blue Bell focused by a couple of scoops of one of your favorites. I'd have to say that things don't get much better than that.
