Was in a line of 40 people did not see any signs that said cash only. Then saw an ATM right behind me. How convenient. Took out $20 thinking there’s no way three small ice creams would be more than $20. Ended up being $23 for two small and one medium ice cream dishes. Had to turn around and hit the ATM again. Now the ice cream was $7 extra. $30 for 3 ice creams. 👍🏼

A nice little ice cream shop lots of flavors to choose from made in house which definitely adds to the yummy factor when choosing your ice cream. If you’re into playing mini golf, there’s also a little mini golf course available for people. A 4 star only because of the price of a small cone. Outside of that it was very tasty and a nice treat.

As someone who has food allergies, getting ice cream at an ice cream stand is not something that I get to do often. With this said, I took my kids here for ice cream and after they ordered, I was asked what I wanted. I said I had food allergies and that I was all set. Without missing beat, the woman working started telling me all of the options I had (including washing scoops and opening new ice cream, and getting a cone that was just made). Not once did they huff or complain or anything (sadly, this is a VERY common thing to happen to me) and went out of their way so I could enjoy ice cream with my kids. As a bonus-it was yummy too!

Great ice cream shop! Conveniently across the street from funtown! Two mini golf courses! I played the new one and it was nicely challenging yet fun for little kids. Definitely worth stopping in to play a round and grab some well deserved iced cream treats after!
