The two beloved brands have joined forces for a national Pi Day in-museum takeover, combining math, play, and ice cream into an immersive, highly visual experience for families.

“Pi Day is our biggest celebration of math in action,” said Michael Stanfield, CMO of Mathnasium. “It’s a day where kids get to see numbers come alive, explore patterns, and tackle active challenges that make math tangible, exciting, and meaningful. Partnering with Museum of Ice Cream lets us share that sense of discovery with families in a way they’ll never forget.”
Discover Pi Everywhere: The Museum-Wide Challenge
Families can explore math throughout the museum with interactive fun. The Pi Day on-site experience includes:
- A museum-wide Pi Day Challenge, from the iconic Sprinkle Pool to the Banana Room, with a co-branded trivia card, engaging Pi-themed activities, and ice cream-inspired trivia.
- A limited-edition Pi Day treat, Mathnasium’s Ice Cream à la Pi
- Playful, exploratory learning experiences that show kids math is fun, engaging, and everywhere.
- A grand finale in the reimagined Pi Magnet Room where guests take on participatory challenges, from building Pi-digit sequences and exploring Pi’s relationship to circles to calculating the perfect scoop of ice cream.
- In New York City, a Pi-focused central installation for photo-worthy moments.
“Pi Day brings us back to the heart of what we love most: ice cream, pie, and the playful math behind every perfect scoop,” said Manish Vora, Co-Founder of Museum of Ice Cream. “Education has always been a core ingredient in the joy we create. This partnership with Mathnasium is a natural way for us to celebrate curiosity, creativity, and the sweet science that makes it all possible.”
