Have you ever dreamed of living in a world of candy and ice cream where you can swim in a pool of sprinkles and eat flavor-changing fruits? Well your dream has come true by a young dreamer who's envisioned a museum for ice cream.

American co-founder of the museum Maryellis Bunn has realized her lifelong fantasy by giving people a taste of a world of ice cream and candy.

The visitors begin their tour of the six-room “museum” with a free scoop of ice cream. They can then have an amazing sugar-rush experience as they taste sugary helium-filled balloons and drink from chocolate fountains.

Aside from the giggly sense of voice changing balloons, participants can enjoy a large pool filled with almost five tonnes of fake sprinkles.

Another attraction of the museum is a Miracle Berry that can change sour taste into sweet. The show ends in a playground that features an ice cream-shaped see-saw and a sandwich-shaped swing.

The display comes with a photo and illustration exhibit and also shows videos on chocolate and ice cream. The ice cream flavors were created by food scientist Irwin Adams.

Favorite frozen treats from different New York City’s ice cream shops are also available. The tour to the pop-up museum was free on the opening day on a first-come first-serve basis and it will continue selling tickets for the rest of the temporary show.
