Parkside Sweet Shoppe

You like Dairy Queen but want something better? Enjoy going to the park for putt putt, skating, basketball, or disc golf but need a snack? Parkside Sweet Shoppe has you covered! Whoever had the insight of placing an ice cream place in a park was brilliant!Parkside does serve soft serve which I usually avoid for the real stuff, but the soft serve that Parkside has a real ice cream taste that I have enjoyed each time. First time, I had the dipped cone in chocolate with chocolate ice cream. Later on, I had the Smores flurry with chocolate ice cream and graham cracker. I think there was a little bit of marshmellow. But the small was about $5 but this was not your Dairy Queen small. The small was not that small. I would hate to see what the medium and large looked like. There is a variety of items on the menu and they even serve burgers and hot dogs. It's really hard not to be pleased by ice cream especially after having a great time in the park beforehand.

I flew here with a couple friend (me in my plane and them in another). We actually flew here for the only purpose of getting ice cream. I have never been here before, so it is my first check in and first visit.I ordered the Pineapple cone, which was very good. I didn't try any food or anything this day, but I am sure I will.My only thought is they charge for water. Which I don't like, it is a preference thing, but I also know I get brain freezes easy which can lead to bad headache... again not their issue it is mine. Just want to make you aware.I will be back of course since I know I can fly in and get Ice Cream, which is one of the reasons I go flying, it is fun and I get to got to fun places.

Everything was excellent. The flurry had lots of toppings and was much better than the big chain places. The staff was friendly and we the whole experience was positive.
