      About

      Blue Bell offers a self-guided visit rather than guided tours: a visitor center with a company-history museum, an ice cream parlor and a country store. The observation deck looks onto the production line where containers are filled, with an employee answering questions. The deck is closed October 19-30, 2026 for maintenance, so production is not viewable this week. Saturday opening is only in June to August.

      Run by: Blue Bell Creameries.
