I loved that they actually stuff the cone instead of leaving the bottom hollow -- such a small detail but it makes a big difference! They're also super generous with samples, so you can try as many flavors as you need before deciding. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the shop itself has such a quaint country charm. There were tons of unique flavors too -- including fun Girl Scout cookie-inspired options and an amazing blueberry flavor that became my favorite. What really stood out to me was how attentive the service was. I ordered a combination cone and the server noticed a tiny bit of mint chip had mixed into the other flavor. She carefully scooped it out before serving it because she knew it would affect the flavor profile. Such a thoughtful touch and proof that they really care about the experience they give customers. Parking is easy and there is outdoor and indoor seating. Definitely worth a visit if you love homemade ice cream and kind people!

And a stop at the Dairy Carnival is always welcome, especially after three hours in the car. They've got Perry's hard ice cream and soft serve. I go with the former because I'm an adult (this is a dig at my soft-serve loving wife), and I went wild this time with the Deep Sea Treasure (caramel ice cream with salty caramel swirls and caramel sea salt truffles). I like salty with my sweet, and it was amazing...the salt content means it's also the fastest melting ice cream known to man, so be warned. My kids got soft serve swirls with rainbow sprinkles, because they are tiny little girls and that's what they do. The younger one got mad at absolutely nothing and threw hers on the ground about a minute after we gave it to her, and then stole handfuls of her older sister's because she's a savage. But everyone enjoyed the stop, because ice cream on a hot day is one of life's great pleasures. Don't deny yourself. Come to the Dairy Carnival. It's a classic All-American spot staffed that we were glad to find: they've got burgers, fries, onion rings, hot dogs, chicken fingers, and ice cream, served by friendly teenage girls. Thus far, we've only had the ice cream, but I think we'll be back for it all some day in the near future. We also played giant Connect Four and threw balls at the Big Foot in the backyard (by the nice picnic tables with umbrellas for shade), because that's what you do at the Dairy Carnival.

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.
