It's June Dairy Month, which means our family is continuing our tradition of visiting different ice cream shops as part of our Iowa Ice Cream Road Trip! What better way to kick off this year's celebration than by sharing about our visit to the Wells Blue Bunny Visitor Center and Ice Cream Parlor in the Ice Cream Capital of the World, Le Mars, Iowa.
A Must-Visit for Ice Cream Fans
When traveling in Northwest Iowa, a trip to Le Mars is a must for all ice cream fans. Did you know that Wells Enterprises, the makers of Blue Bunny ice cream, produces more than 150 million gallons of ice cream each year? There is more ice cream made in the city of Le Mars than in any one location on earth, making Le Mars the Ice Cream Capital of the World.
Interactive Exhibits
Upon arrival at the Wells Blue Bunny Visitor Center, our noses were filled with the delicious smells of the ice cream parlor, but we resisted the temptation and decided to head upstairs to check out the interactive exhibits and history of Wells.

We recommend checking out a movie or two in the theater. The film on the history of the Wells family and the company was very interesting and a great way to start our visit. They also have exhibits and information on how ice cream is made, interactive games, including our kids' favorite - the ice cream personality quiz.
Family-Friendly Fun
The Visitor Center has plenty of activities for kids, making it a great family-friendly destination. Our kids loved playing some of their interactive games and posing at some of their photo opp spots!
The Ice Cream Parlor
Then it was time to head downstairs to the Ice Cream Parlor! Stepping into the Ice Cream Parlor felt like walking into a vintage ice cream shop. There is a wide variety of Blue Bunny ice cream flavors to choose from. The young man who served up our ice cream said the top sellers are Salted Caramel Craze, Peanut Butter & Fudge, Bunny Tracks, and Cookies 'n Cream. He also recommended some of their popular ice cream creations.

You can get your flavor of choice in a cup or a cone, plus they offer shakes, floats & sodas, sundaes, and some of their freezer treats like Bomb Pops, Ice Cream Cookies, and Drumsticks. I'm a little embarrassed to say we tried almost a little bit of everything... I personally couldn't resist trying their Cookie Dough Creation Sundae which includes Cookie Dough Ice Cream with an Ice Cream Cookie, topped with caramel, chocolate chip cookie crumbs and whipped cream!

We highly recommend anyone traveling through Iowa to visit, especially during June Dairy Month.
