Ice cream was delicious. My Dad and I both got two scoops on a waffle cone and we paid about $30. As good as the ice cream was it was over priced. Great service and a nice variety of flavors. The store itself was clean. They had tables inside and outside to sit and enjoy your time. read more

Way overpriced. $15+ for an ice cream sandwich that was made with brownies. Staff is nice but the prices are crazy. Store was clean. read more

Frozen Penguin - $15! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

My family and I stopped by for some dessert for the kiddos, they wanted ice cream and we were in the area visiting the Aquarium at the Arizona Boardwalk and we decided to go here. Both kiddos got the same thing, homemade vanilla ice cream with chocolate M&M's with sprinkles - they loved it, I tried a bite of it the vanilla was really good honestly! The service was great everyone was very nice! The ambiance is also cute I love it! I will definitely return! read more

Overpriced for overly sweet ice cream. The sample spoon is what hooked us in, but as you're eating the same ice cream over & over, you can taste all the sugar. Got a slice of brownie on its own, that was a fail, it had a fishy aftertaste. The chocolate with sprinkles on top tasted different too, like low quality chocolate, or maybe old constantly reused chocolate, but that wasn't it. read more

Best ice cream ever!!! This ice cream is just different from other places I luv it!!!

This was such a great experience! The service was fantastic! The workers were so kind and you could tell they really loved their job. The ice cream was delicious as well! Definitely would recommend this for the family. read more

Frozen Penguin - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

My daughter and I stopped by Frozen Penguin after visiting the OdySea Aquarium. The ice cream shop is located on the second floor, right next to the OdySea Gift shop. The ice cream shop offers a wide range of ice cream from regular ice cream scoops, dippin dots, brownie sundaes, ice cream cookie sandwiches, floats, and much more! We had arrived around 11:30 and there was only one other customer inside Frozen Penguin. My daughter had selected the dippin dots chocolate ice cream and I had decided to choose the Brownie Ice Cream Sundae with Vanilla Ice cream/Caramel Sauce. It took approximately 15 minutes to prepare both. My daughter enjoyed her chocolate dippin dots ice cream. The Brownie Ice Cream Sundae was disappointing though, especially for $8.95. The Brownie was extremely hard. It was too difficult to eat and inedible. The ice cream scoop was small and the M&M' toppings were stale. It's quite expensive at Frozen Penguin. If you're visiting OdySea during the summer, it might be worth it, if you're looking for a frozen treat. read more

Amazing service! Thank you to Savannah for her patience! I had an indecisive 7yr old and she took her time with us. Pleasant experience from beginning to end. We appreciate you! & definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

Good service but extremely expensive and subpar ice cream. Johnny rockets for a shake next door would be a better option

We stopped by this ice-cream place after a visit to the odyssey aquarium. It was almost closing time and there were only couple of them inside. It's a regular ice-cream place with lots of options and toppings. But, it's so pricey for some regular scoops in cup and cones. We paid close to $25 for 3 people. I would have paid that for a special but for regular ice-cream it was a bummer. Sometimes u need to cave in for ur toddlers, but next time will be mindful. read more

Every staff member is really nice!! The redbull drinks have the perfect amount of flavor!

Cute little ice cream shop located upstairs from the OdySea Aquarium. Clean and friendly. Right now the elevator is not working, but there are stairs and an escalator. If you need the elevator I would recommend calling ahead to see if it is up and running. The regular menu is not active at this time. They have ice cream already prepackaged for purchase and ice cream sandwiches. Service was friendly. Everything was delicious. read more

Pretty much the best ice cream sandwich you could ask for. You get to choose your ice cream, your cookie, and they put it together. Simple but amazing. We had a lot of fun with the kids stopping here after a trip to Odysea. If I'm being honest, we had Penguin's at lunch in the park and then again when we were finished as a treat (it's vacation right?). It's worth a stop if you are at the Aquarium on a hot day. The good, customize! The bad, it's food at a tourist stop... expect longer lines and higher prices. We will be back next time we are at Odysea read more

Homemade choc. brownie and cold ice cream was delicious; specially on hot day like today

Ice cream sandwiches - what can be better on a hot Arizona day? We learned about this shop inside the OdySea Aquarium. And yes, we totally fell for the not-so-subtle ads for Frozen Penguin. Advertising works! In fact, you can actually measure your height in ice cream sandwiches (which you know we totally did). You can mix and match cookies as well as sample as many flavors of ice cream you'd like. It's just outside the aquarium's exit, making it impossible for us to pass by. I got a brownie, but my husband got the ice cream. You can definitely skip the brownies. The cookie sandwich with ice cream is where it's at! read more

the workers are super friendly! the place was super clean and the ice cream is delicious!!

I had an excellent experience here. The two employees in the shop were very welcoming and friendly, and the cookies were fresh baked and still hot. I also got a scoop of ice cream, which they were very generous with, and an extremely refreshing Redbull kicker for this hot day. The overall vibe was incredible, and I'd love to come back here! read more

Pretty good selection, nice way to cool off after going to odysea. Coffee ice cream even the baby liked it. read more

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. This place is just all around nasty. All of the cookies and brownies are rock hard and if you can manage to chew them, they lack any flavor. The staff was nice which was the only upside. I paid $21 for a kids scoop and a single scoop sundae (which was not even what the picture describes). I could understand paying this price if the ice cream was good, but like I said- it's nasty. Just tastes like it has been open for a while or something. This place is very convenient when visiting the aquarium but I am sure there are a hundred places right down the street with better options. read more

The ice cream was great! And the location was perfect! Located upstairs at the beautiful new complex where the Aquarium, Butterfly, etc, exhibits are on the east side of Hwy 101. On a summer day, it was a perfect top-off to strolls through the natural world of critters and sea life. Why did I give them only three stars, if it was so "great"? Simple. Two single-dip cones & one water was $17.26. A tad exorbitant, even if good. Each cone was $4.45. The water was $5.00. And a tip was automatically added for another $2.25. Oh, and of course there was an $.88 state tax added. And then another fee, which I have no idea what it was: SRPMIC for $.23. All in all, for two cones & a water: $17.26. YIKES! Next time I will go somewhere else for an "after treat"! read more

Super cute place located in the same "center" as the aquarium. It was super empty which was a scary sign but once we tasted our treats we were all very delighted. My parents tried the mint brownie sandwich and my daughter and I shared the custom Cookie sandwich. We had one confetti cookie, one chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and sprinkles. Our server was super sweet helpful and patient. She made them quickly and they tasted really good!! The cookies and brownie were both surprisingly AMAZING. perfect consistency and excellent flavor. Very pleased overall! read more

Stopped in here after taking my granddaughter to OdySea. She always enjoys stopping here after a few hours at OdySea. She had her scoop inside a waffle cone, and licked every last lick till gone. I tasted it as well. I don't remember the flavor, but I'm sure it had chocolate in it. Till next time we visit OdySea. ... read more

I recently came in on this previous Thursday and was blown away from this nice establishment. The prices were on the expensive side and it was also pretty busy but the customer service was great. They took their time to explain the menu and the different options to come across. The workers were very nice but one worker in particular went above and beyond to meet my needs. Atmosphere was very clean. Overall, it was a very good experience and would definitely recommend to others. read more

Amazing service! The lady was super sweet. I was babysitting and took the little girl there for a little date and she saw how I didn't want to pay too much so she gave us free sprinkles for her. She was very sweet. It's my second time coming here but first review. We had the strawberry ice cream and it was so delicious! It had real strawberries there but frozen! One of the best strawberry ice cream out there! Especially for the very hot dry heat in Scottsdale! Can't beat that! Thanks for being so nice (I forgot her name) & sweet! Totally recommend this place! read more

I thought this was an excellent themed addition next to the aquarium! My friend and I stopped by before our aquarium visit. It was our first time visiting. It wasnt busy at all and as we quickly browsed the menu we decided to share a cookie/brownie combo sandwich. We picked a cookie option of m&m cookie and had a brownie for the other end of our sandwich. In the middle we chose vanilla ice cream. We didn't really want toppings but added penguin gummies because after all it is penguin ice cream! The only down-fall I would say is that we weren't suggested to have our ice cream 'penguin style'. I noticed the menu in small print at the bottom that you can have your ice cream penguin style which includes: whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and penguin gummies. Being that we already added the gummies I felt the extra whipped cream and syrup would've been nice. However, I didn't notice the menu until we were sitting outside eating our ice cream already. All in all I think this place is great to visit before or after your aquarium visit. The penguin theme is great and the penguin gummies top the ice cream off nicely. read more

How anyone would give this less than a five star is beyond me! Cookies and Ice Cream...how do you screw this up? Frozen Penguin is a build your own ice cream sandwich shop outside of Odysea Aquarium. Choose one of six cookies for the top and bottom and then one of twelve Dreyers ice cream flavors. Then a optional topping (.75 cents) to line your ice cream and on a hot Phoenix day you have perfection. For me it was a chocolate chip and snickerdoodle with a cookies and cream filling. AMAZING!!! read more

Stopped in today for some ice cream after a visit to the aquarium. As I walked in with my hands full and managing my three year old a staff member was quick to let me know that my mask had slipped down and he need me to pull it up if I wanted to be in the store (literally within seconds of walking in the door) I complied after setting my things down. I pointed to the "Superman" ice cream without looking at the label and let him know we'd take a scoop of the rainbow ice cream. The staff member was quick to let me know it was not rainbow ice cream it was Superman. This team member needs a lesson in customer service. Treating your guests like children and being condescending is not a way to get them to come back. Lose the power trip and focus on customer service. I will not be back if he is working. read more

When I was just there five minutes ago to get ice cream for my 5 year old Tyler told me that he would not service me without a mask, I told him I have a breathing disability. He said it was unsafe for him to serve me even tho he has a mask on snd there was one I glass between us, which is crazy. So I went two doors down to johnny rockets and got ice cream for my son who was in tears bcuz he could not get ice cream and this employee so rude. I asked the teller at johnny tickets if I should wait outside they said no it would be just one minute. Never asked me to put a mask on or anything. Way to go johnny rockets. U failed frozen penguin! read more

My kids drove me absolutely insane in OdySea! I was ready to leave them behind and just go home when they spotted Frozen Penguin. We went in and they started their normal bs of driving me even more insane...it's a fun game they enjoy. After asking them 100 times what they wanted we finally got our ice cream from the gentleman working (Noah). Noah was the sweetest, most patient person you could ask for. I'm pretty sure he saw I was on the verge of tears at this point and went above and beyond to help me. He literally paid for my ice cream himself. Note to Noah: You seriously make me cry with your generosity. My kids were more than a handful! Thank you so incredibly much read more

Kinda pricey, $7+ tip for an ice cream sandwich. Could have been half the size for a kid and half the price, most of it went in the trash. Still tasty, with fresh strawberries and sprinkles. Weird that they ask for a tip when they reach into a cooler, put out product, and hand it to you. One of those been there done that places, don't really need to try again. read more

The ice cream is very good, but it's way too expensive. We got a cup with 2 scoops, a sundae, 2 bottles of water, and an iced tea and it was $35. That's too much. Two people can eat a decent sit down meal for $35...and this is just ice cream. read more

If I could do negative stars I would. Wife and I entered the store and the worker proceeded to walk up to the counter as she was pulling up her mask to let me know my money is no good here with out a mask- so be it went to Johnny Rockets to get a shake. We are vaccinated and this mask BS and mentality is redonkulous - they don't make a difference and will never support business with this mentality. You'll see which small business survive. Ok done with rant read more

It was pretty good, but probably not nearly worth the price. The baked stuff wasn't the greatest, and selection was low. Service was okay. Overall, it was decent, but not anything spectacular enough to pay 8-12 dollars per person (plus 4-9 if you want a drink). read more
