Locals and visitors invited to scoop their way through Orlando
ORLANDO, Fla. (May 22, 2026) -- Orlando’s sweetest summer adventure has officially arrived. Florida Dairy Farmers and Visit Orlando are teaming up to launch the first-ever Thrill to Chill: Orlando Ice Cream Trail — a limited-time, self-guided experience that invites locals and visitors to explore Orlando’s vibrant ice cream scene while celebrating the real dairy that makes every scoop possible.
Running from May 22 through July 31, the trail turns the search for the perfect frozen treat into a citywide summer experience. From handcrafted gelato and towering milkshakes to nostalgic soft serve and neighborhood scoop shops, participants can discover Orlando one sweet stop at a time.
The experience is free and available through a mobile-friendly digital pass available at VisitOrlando.com/IceCreamTrail. Guests can sign up to check in at participating locations, earn points, unlock prizes, and share their journey with friends along the way. More than two dozen shops are participating, including Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream, Sampaguita Ice Cream, Charlie’s Bakery & Creamery, Crispy Cones, The Greenery Creamery and Twistee Treat.
“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.”
