Chill Out with the Orlando Ice Cream Trail This Summer!
Now that summer is here and the sun is out, what’s a better way to beat the heat than with a good old-fashioned scoop of cold, creamy ice cream? Lucky for you, summer just got a little sweeter with the all-new Thrill to Chill: Orlando Ice Cream Trail!
July is National Ice Cream Month and in honor of it, Florida Dairy Farmers and Visit Orlando have officially teamed up to launch a self-guided experience that allows locals and visitors alike to explore Central Florida’s vibrant ice cream scene while celebrating the benefits of real dairy in every creamy scoop.
“Florida Dairy Farmers are proud to partner on an initiative that celebrates Orlando’s local businesses and the hardworking dairy farm families who help to make every scoop of ice cream possible,” said Patrick Haller, SVP, Strategy & Business Development, Florida Dairy Farmers.
“The Thrill to Chill: Ice Cream Trail is a fun and engaging way to showcase the fresh dairy milk behind every frozen treat while inspiring locals and visitors to discover and support Orlando’s unique ice cream destinations.”

The Scoop
Ice cream lovers can enjoy this cool citywide experience from now until July 31st.
More than two dozen of Orlando’s best ice cream shops are participating, and for every visit, guests can earn points, unlock prizes, and share their experience with friends. Whether you’re into over-the-top shakes, artisan gelato, or simple soft serve, the Orlando Ice Cream Trail has a sweet treat to satisfy any creamy craving.
The experience is free and is available through a mobile-friendly digital pass available at VisitOrlando.com/IceCreamTrail. Your pass will be instantly sent to you through text or email – no app to download! Once you visit a location, be sure to check in and then redeem your points to earn prizes!
