House of Flavors touts as Michigan's best ice cream, and though I'll (gladly) need to do more…read moreresearch, I can understand their claim. Made in Ludington, The Parlor is their third location in West Michigan, and only location outside of Ludington (lucky us). There's 24 flavors to choose from, and our ice cream scooper was happy to give me as many tastes as I needed to find the perfect scoop for my mood, adding that I could do half scoops. I love this option because it makes narrowing down a tad easier. Carrot Cake and Peanut Brownie Crunch for me, please! The ice cream was premium, the fixings were plentiful, and the portion was generous. I couldn't ask for anything more. Next time, I may take that Peanut Brownie Crunch and turn into a sundae for added decadence. I'll report back!

The staff super friendly and fast! They offer all sorts of ice cream treats from hard serve to soft serve and everything in between. Big fan of the Oreo soft serve and the portions are GIANT. I ordered a medium and ended up getting a small after I realized how big the serving was. They have a walk up window and a drive through. It might seem like the line will be slow because of how busy they are but I got through it super fast. Open until 9pm and Cash only! Remember to tip your servers.

You can't visit Holland without a trip to Captain Sundae's. It's been an institution for decades…read more Captain Sundae not only has all the sundaes to choose from, but also they have various sizes, including a junior size. I really, really appreciate this option because sometimes I just want a smaller sweet treat. On one of my more recent visits, I ordered their cookie dough bomb, which--as advertised--has more edible cookie dough than ice cream. It's delightful, and I hope it's here to stay on the menu.

We were broken hearted until we checked in to our hotel nearby. They sold cartons of it at the hotel. Rich, smooth, creamy chocolatey, caramely, sweet creamy ice cream.

First off, I have to give a shoutout to the owner--he was incredibly friendly and even let my girlfriend sample some fudge. The store had an endless variety of both new and old-school candies to choose from. They even had this really cool jelly bean machine with a wide assortment of flavors to bag up. Before leaving, I made sure to grab some treats to share with my family too! I can't wait to come back in the summer to see what new goodies they'll have.

Or...perhaps even for the days when you are? Maybe it's ice cream in town and candy back at the vacation rental. Sweet Haven ticks all the boxes: various small candy in bulk; taffy in bulk; old-fashioned packaged candy; higher-end chocolates; Jelly Bellys; and of course FUDGE. It's a dangerous and delightful place. I'm not sure about the prices. This stuff *seems* expensive, but since you don't buy an armload of candy very often (do you??), it's hard to tell. So just go ahead and treat yourself (and your kids I guess, but mostly you, because sugar is bad for kids) and see whether you can make it last beyond the journey home at the end of the trip.

Which we felt was well priced in comparison to places closer to our home. NOTE they charge more if you use a credit card and it's posted everywhere! They serve Hudsonville ice cream which was very fresh and delicious! Although one of our orders came as a cup versus a cone we still enjoyed it! The service was great! It was quick and easy to order. We were first in line so we got our order in and picked it up very quickly. They have a small parking lot making it very accessible to park and order your ice cream! They also have some covered seating and some not. They do have an outdoor game that you can play while there. It was very calm and quaint! We really enjoyed that. Overall great experience and highly recommend visiting!

For the drive thru safari, they have a variety of animals, from Alpacas to bears to camels to giraffes. You can purchase a bucket of feed for $9, but make sure you hold on to the bucket tight, because all of the animals are super strong! We ended up losing one of our buckets to the deer, haha! In the main farm area, they have some really cool play structures and tunnels that go underground and above ground. The kids had a blast crawling all over the place. Our favorites were the bird exhibit and the bear exhibit. The birds are not afraid of humans and will flock to you as soon as you enter their area. Im the bear section, we got to see the two brown bear brothers wrestle and "fight" over who got to sit in the pool. The brown bears were very interactive and would run with the children along the fence, back and forth. The biggest hit for our kids was the corn kernel area. It's essentially a giant pit filled with dried corn kernels. Our kids played in there for a good hour and didn't want to leave! It's also a great place to relax and cool down out of the heat. They have a bunch of animals that you can pet and hold if interested. For us, the safari was a great one time experience and likely wouldn't be something that we would drive through again, but the main play area is where we will definitely be going back to time and time again!
