Blue Bell Creamery, Brenham

I took my 2 young children to the Blue Bell Creamery yesterday (4/5/10), arriving at 1:30. There were no parking places in either of the 2 lots, and I had to drive around for 15 minutes waiting for someone to leave. When we got in, we were told the 2:45 tour was the only one available. The gift store was open, but full of people, and there were very long lines waiting to buy ice cream for $1 a scoop. Every few minutes, a group of about 30 would be ushered into the same line to receive their free scoop. (The dedicated tour ice cream shop was closed). The tour itself was fun and informative, but not quite worth the $5 per adult price of admission. I suppose they raised the price to from $3 recently to keep the crowds down. It hasn't worked so far. Overall, a once in a lifetime experience... not something I need to repeat.

When they opened a Blue Bell parlor in Woodland Park it made our entire family happy. We are regular customers. Chris Johnson, Cathy Jonnson and Cathy's father, Jack Barton

It was very entertaining for the grandkids. Love the store and tour. Most of all "LOVE THAT BLUE BELL". Best to visit early in the day. Not as many folks and less waiting.
