tout le monde profite d'une « pause glace »
Just an idea; is there anything specific in your context to say why it should be 'hands' — sounds as if there might be some nautical connection...? And do you know if it is likely just to be 'ordinary' ice-creams (cones, etc.), or some exotic sit-down sundae thingies?

(based on the idea of 'pause-pipi', of course!)

OK, so that explains the reference to 'hands' — however, it's pretty weak in EN, and I think I'd be inclined to let it drop in your FR translation.

Comment: "Merci beaucoup ! J'ai gardé l'expression de "pause glace" tout en modifiant un peu la phrase pour que ça sonne mieux dans le contexte."
Discussion
My feeling is that they say 'enjoy', but avoid specifically mentioning that it is free; if they really were going to give something away, then I'd expect them to make more fuss about the fact: "admission is included, as is a free ice-cream".
If in doubt, don't add anything...
Merci
