Pics don't do it justice! mini golf on site! This place is only open memorial day to mid September, but the line is pretty much always long. It is a small town staple that people drive up to an hour to experience in the summer months. It is so good and they change flavors every weekend. we recommend the nutty budd arctic swirl. we go every week when they are open and never get tired of it! buy tickets to mini golf here, too and walk on over. Or buy them directly at mini golf but will be cash only on site.
