We all scream for ice cream—especially with some science sprinkled in.
In celebration of National Ice Cream Day on Sunday, July 16, the Museum of Science and Industry and Nitro Dessert Station of Polonia Catering are unveiling the science behind this summertime treat. MSI and Nitro Dessert Station will make stops at three locations across Chicago—Guaranteed Rate Field, here at MSI, and Maggie Daley Park—where you can watch as liquid nitrogen is poured into the freshly made mix to create deliciously frozen ice cream. Then treat yourself with a free scoop!
Renowned chef Graham Elliot will be at MSI from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m. debuting an ice cream flavor he created specially for MSI.
See schedule and details below. MSI stop requires Museum Entry.
