    I don't get many completely "free" days, so when I do, I love finding little things to do with my…read morefamily and turning an ordinary day into a mini road trip. We added the Blue Bell Tours & Country Store to our route on the way home, and I'm SO glad we did. First, watching the production process was genuinely fascinating. You get to see the machinery and engineering involved in filling and packaging those familiar Blue Bell gallons and larger containers, and WOW. What a system! I've bought Blue Bell for years without giving much thought to what happens between "let's make some ice cream" and that container appearing in my freezer. There's a whole lot happening back there! Afterward, we headed into the Country Store and picked up a few things for loved ones. And here's a little detail I absolutely loved: if you buy an ornament featuring one of the ice cream flavors, they package it inside a container for that particular flavor. SUCH a cute touch, and it makes an already-fun little gift even better. Of course, you can't come all the way to Blue Bell and then leave without eating ice cream. That would just be poor road-trip management. We wandered over to the Ice Cream Parlor and deliberately chose flavors we'd never tried before, including some we don't see available in stores. Because if you're standing at the home of Blue Bell choosing the same carton that's already sitting in your H-E-B freezer, I feel like we've missed an opportunity. And don't leave without checkin out the Texas High School Coaches Museum downstairs! That was an unexpected addition to the visit and really interesting to walk through. All in all, this is one of those stops that's easy to add to a road trip but offers enough to make it feel like an actual destination. There's something wonderfully Texas about the whole experience -- family, history, engineering, souvenirs and, naturally, ice cream. If you're anywhere near Brenham, stop. It's absolutely worth the detour.

    What an amazing store. It was a pure delight to see so many Blue bell merchandise in various…read morecolors and custom made items. Whether it was tshirts or caps or mugs or bowls or sweatshirts, BB store had it all. Too bad I went inside about 30 mins to closing, otherwise I would have purchased more items. Check out their website. There's some cool stuff online.

I got there at 1215 and the girl at the gate turned us away. I called ahead of time to be sure we could still get in and was still turned away. Called the front office and was told I refused to pay. I wasn't given the option to pay, ever. The girl just said that it was raining hard and so we had to turn around and leave. Clearly the employees were just ready to go home and didn't care to have our business. Extremely disappointed and 3 hours of travel time wasted. In response to the reply from them below that I was rude and refused to pay: I was told how much it was and then not given an option as to how to pay. It wasn't raining that hard. In fact, the rain stopped right after we left. There's nothing on your website that says that we can't see the castle if there's a little sprinkle. I never refused to pay. I had both of my little boys with me who were very disappointed after coming all that way. I also called ahead of time since we were traveling so far. My rude comment was that the staff needed better communication skills. Very poor customer service and unprofessional to argue with your patrons.
