It’s more like the Museum of “I Scream.”
A woman claims she fractured her ankle after “taking the plunge” at the Museum of Ice Cream’s “Sprinkle Pool,” one of several alleged mishaps at the viral attraction, according to a lawsuit.
Emily Robinson needed surgery following a trip to the SoHo hotspot on March 24, 2022, the Manhattan Supreme filing alleges.
Her visit turned into a house of horrors for Robinson, who suffered “severe and permanent injuries when she jumped and landed in the Sprinkle Pool,” the Oct. 16 suit says.
The Museum of Ice Cream trumpets its facility as “a safe space” on its website, and advises visitors to “Dive into fun with our iconic sprinkle pool! It’s a playful, colorful experience you won’t find anywhere else.”
But not everyone agrees.
In August, the museum was served another lawsuit by a different customer, The Post reported.
Jeremy Shorr says in March 2023 he was left with an ankle fracture so severe that it required surgery and the installation of internal hardware. He blamed the sprinkle pool’s poor design — with the rainbow-colored sprinkles too shallow to provide a soft landing, according to court documents.
“We believe this sprinkle pool poses a risk of serious personal injury to members of the public,” said Shorr’s attorney, Daniel Perrone, who is also representing Robinson.

In a TikTok amassing three million views, Carlie Noelle jumped off one of the pool’s mini diving boards, only to painfully land on her tailbone in the sprinkles.
“I wasn’t expecting it to hurt so bad,” Noelle said in the post’s caption.
In another viral TikTok post with 11.3 million views, three teenage girls are seen falling into the sprinkle pool — with one seen wincing and clutching her ankle after landing feet first.
The Museum of Ice Cream, which first opened in July 2016 as a pop-up in the city’s Meatpacking District, did not respond to messages.
Robinson seeks unspecified damages.
