Blue Bell Ice Cream Tour


My good friend, Trisha Glaser, called and scheduled a tour of the Blue Bell Ice Cream facility for us and a few of her friends this past Friday. Trisha has a daughter, Grace, who is almost three and so cute with her curly hair and big blue eyes. Kenzie and Connor call her Baby Grace and love having her over for play dates. We knew Blue Bell offered tours, but had never taken initiative to schedule and were thrilled to be included in Trisha's group.


The Blue Bell building has a Broken Arrow address, but it is located just outside Coweta, which isn't too far from our house. The tour only cost $2 for me and Connor and our outing lasted about an hour. (Kids 5 and under are free; adults $2.) Connor loved watching the ice cream assembly line where machines filled and sealed each ice cream container and the assembly line workers packed boxes, but what he loved most of all - no surprise - was sampling the ice cream after the tour was over. Definitely a fun, inexpensive activity to do with a group of friends and their kiddos.



Kenzie was at school this time and didn't get to go on the tour, so we'll likely be planning a Daddy and Kenzie trip to Blue Bell in the near future.
