My friend and I have been miniature golfing in the Capital District for years and only heard about…read morethis place recently from my wife. With a name like "Wind Chill Factory"... who would connect that to golf? Perhaps it is a reference to the nearby airport? Anyway, my friend and I arrived one Saturday afternoon to find an antique car show going on at the place. It was packed with cars though we found nearby parking. A local band was playing and they were, umm, entertaining. The golf was reasonably priced ($12) and we were soon on our way. Oddly, the golf putters seemed odd in proportion and the shaft joined the head at a strange angle which made me feel like I was hitting the ball wrong. Also, the holes were immaculate (yay!) but some were brutally tough. One hole in particular was essentially a straight shot up a hill to rest at a small level patch of green around the hole. My friend and I EACH took 9 shots to get it to the top. He spent 9 getting it just to the top, only to have it roll down to the starting tee. I spent 9 shots generally hitting the rocks along the sides, only to have to roll down to the starting tee. That's 18 actual shots, not including penalty strokes when the ball rolled back off the tee. It was super frustrating. Other holes also relied on hills/swells to add to the challenge but weren't as tough. I would rather get stumped trying to hit the ball through a small tunnel in a windmill or snake it along a waterway, not get punished for constantly misjudging a hill with little room for error. Beyond that, we had fun. My friend said is was the best local course he played. I had a good time too, but I wouldn't go that far. Most of the holes felt a bit uninspired. But at least there was no nonsense with balls not dropping into the cups at this course. The ice cream flavors available were good, and the chocolate peanut butter cup was an excellent way to end the afternoon. PS: My wife and 4Y old son came along and it was the first time he played mini golf. He seemed to have a good time too.

We came here for ice cream. For the ice cream alone, this would be 3 stars. But with the food (we…read moredidn't order any, but it looked really good), the outdoor area, and the mini-golf course, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The ice cream was okay. It's limited to about a dozen flavors between hard and soft. The hard ice cream flavors (we got hard ice cream this time) were more traditional, the soft ice cream flavors were more creative and interesting. Prices were about the same for similar sizes, though, but $4 and change for a small dish seemed slightly above average compared to the same amount elsewhere. Then again, there's nothing else that close to this place with whom to be competitive. Spoons aren't available here unless you order ice cream. The spoons are plastic, looking more like they're designed for iced tea or milkshakes, with long, slender, flimsy handles, and only teaspoon-sized for scooping. That's fine for a shake or soft ice cream, but they were a bit too flimsy for digging into hard ice cream. The flavors could have been a little stronger too, though the stuff in the special flavors (e.g., the Moose Tracks), made up for it. This is a fine place to go if you're looking for a meal with ice cream, or mini-golf plus food or drink. Then again, there's nothing else like it for many miles in any direction.

It was 8:20 and me and a friend wanted to quickly grab some fro-yo and leave knowing that they…read moreclose at 8:30. However, when we walked in all the chairs were up and an employee was sweeping the ground, seemingly like they were already closed. I looked at the girl and asked, "are you closed?" To which she just stared at me. I then asked, "do you want us to leave?" To which she just stared at me again. She's easily my age (17) or older so I don't understand why she couldn't use her words. We ended up just walking out because it was very awkward and she clearly didn't want us in there. Which is confusing because 1, it takes at most 2 minutes to make an order because it's self-serve and 2, I would've tipped good because it's close to closing. We were very disappointed. I also read above that a similar situation happened to someone only 2 months ago so I'm assuming it's the same girl.

After paying we tried to sit down but the two girls were already staking chairs for closure. We found a dirty table with four chairs and began eating. Next they started spraying cleaner all along the baseboard of the window. The smell of the cleaning detergent was overpowering and another family got up and left. The workers then announced from behind the register that they were closing in ten minutes. They proceeded to close down all the toppings but the smell was so bad we went outside to finishing eat our desserts. Why don't they close at the posted 8:30 time and then clean and close up the shop? It was so cold outside and not enjoyable to eat with the chemical smells in the shop. Such a disappointment.

The young girl kept asking me while i was trying to talk , WHAT KIND. I finally said sorry i didn't realize i didn't say what flavor.

I left the parking lot before i finished my cone because she was still looking at me. Find better help please. I work in customer service as account manager for over 30 years , she needs training.

Our son loves their Italian ice so much - he gets it each time. The kids sundae was the perfect size and can be made with both soft and hard ice creams. They have a large tree in the back that often the children flock to and play different games - it's nice to have somewhere to run around at there. It makes you feel like you're not on route 9. If it's raining, they have a tented area with glistening string lights, which can make for a romantic night out with the kids too. This was a great experience and have always had helpful employees!

There's tables around to the side, but it's on sand so if you drop your ice cream like two people did while we were there, you get a nice layer of sand on it. They also have pup cups with a small treat in it. Took off a star because while the woman who took our order was friendly, the one who shouted around the side when our order was ready was not. She was highly annoyed about everything. You get a 4% discount if you pay cash.
