Another Round Of Tickets To The Epically Popular Museum Of Ice Cream Go On Sale Friday

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Los Angeles' wildly popular Museum of Ice Cream announced Thursday that they will be extending another round of tickets to the public, which will go on sale Friday at 9 a.m. Tickets to the ice cream experience (an eminently Instagrammable paean to sticky, sugary delights) have been sold out for several weeks.

The museum first popped up last year in New York City for a similarly hyped limited time run, and officially opened in L.A. on April 22. The L.A. incarnation, which is four times larger than the New York original, was originally only intended to last through May, but the run has already been extended once due to the extreme demand. This second round of tickets will further extend the museum's L.A. tenure through mid-August. Tickets are available here.

The Museum of Ice Cream is at 2018 E 7th Pl, Los Angeles, (888) 718-4253. Tickets are $29 for adults (13 and above), and $18 for children (age 3 to 12) and seniors (above 60).

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
