It's a fun experience especially if you have kids. Watching all the prep that goes into making the ice cream is very fun to watch. It's a bit pricy, but you are paying ,in some part for the "experience" which is well worth it. If you just want "a scoop of ice cream", I would consider going elsewhere. The up charges is where you can run into trouble. .50 cents for toppings for kids size (which is enormous) and $1.00 for adult size toppings. Its a fun, light and bright environment and a neat place to go after dinner or if you are celebrating a special occasion.
