Every child’s favorite treat can now be purchased at Imagination Station. Imagination Station and Dippin’ Dots have entered into a partnership to make their ice cream available at the children’s science museum.
Dippin’ Dots uses liquid nitrogen to make their ice cream product, which makes it a natural fit for a science museum. “It gives us a chance to put a real-life practical application of science in the hands of children. We have a program where we use liquid nitrogen to teach states of matter” said Jonathan Brooks, director of Imagination Station. Dippin’ Dots founder Curt Jones is a microbiologist who pioneered the science of cryogenic encapsulation. This allowed them to make beads of ice cream that were frozen quickly giving it greater flavor and freshness.
Imagination Station is selling the pre-packaged Dippin’ Dots by the pack. There are many flavors available including chocolate, vanilla, chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies and cream, strawberry, mint chocolate, and others. The packs are $3.00 and can even be purchased without museum admission. “We want to make them available to anyone that would like to purchase them, but of course we would love for people to go ahead and visit the museum exhibits and reptiles while they are here” commented Brooks.
The local Dippin’ Dots franchisee made this possible by donating the necessary freezers and some of the initial stock of ice cream. In addition, Watson Electric donated their services to get outlets installed in the right places and ensuring the freezers would be on their own circuits. “This would have been much more difficult for us had Dippin’ Dots and Watson Electric not been so generous. We appreciate their willingness to help get this concept off the ground”, said Jonathan Brooks of Imagination Station.
A Dippin’ Dots franchise will be opening in Wilson sometime this summer in the new shopping center under construction in front of Lowe’s.
