I stopped in after having dinner at Harold's Inn right next door one evening... Their menu is pretty large, loaded with shakes, various novelties like sundaes, their version of a "Blizzard", etc. I opted for their version of the Blizzard and it was decent, until I got to the bottom third and there was no topping down there, because they didn't blend it properly. Service also wasn't very happy and friendly, which you expect from an ice cream joint. Experience was "meh!" read more

amazing ice cream and fun mini golf had the best time ever I really recommend that you go here

Definitely one of my favorite ice cream spots around town, and in addition, it is a great place to mini golf as well! We went on a Thursday and found out that it was date night, which means mini golfing is buy one get one free (great surprise)! The actual golf course was 18 holes, and each hole was unique which I believe is a rare find when you're mini golfing. We enjoyed ourselves and didn't get bored halfway through like we have at other repetitive courses. After golfing, we of course had to get ice cream! They have hard ice cream, soft serve, sundaes, and every other type of ice cream imaginable! I got the cotton candy soft serve and it was DELICIOUS! It was not overwhelming sweet, but instead it had a subtle, smooth cotton candy flavor. I would surely get it again on my next visit... which I plan to be very soon! read more

First time eating here, after a round of mini golf. I had the strawberry sundae, which was definitely large for a medium serving! The ratio of toppings to soft serve was a little off, I was left with a lot of plain ice cream near the end. There are several tables in the back, with a view of the golf course. Lots of options on the menu, a little overpriced but still on par with some ice cream places I've been to. read more

Windmill Ice Cream - Strawberry sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Aliquippa, Pennsylvania

So I grew up just down the street. It was always a special treat to come here for mini golf and really yummy ice cream. Recently I was at the cemetery next door to visit the grave sites of my grandparents and decided to swing by the Windmill for a bit fudge sundae since it's what my nana and I always ordered. The delicious ice cream certainly had all of the memories rushing back. read more

Came here for the first time. I ordered the fudge nutty bar, but they gave me the turtle bar because they ran out of the fudge nutty bar. Hubby ordered their frozen yogurt with 2 flavors. Total came out to around $7. What's Hot - Good for the kiddies. It's definitely family friendly with the mini golf feature. - Menu variety. Hubby and I originally thought this place only does sweet treats, but they do have a short menu of savory options, like fries (which you can order with chili and/or cheese), funnel cakes, burgers, hot dogs, etc... Not so bad. They have a pretty good variety of sweet treat options- milkshakes, ice cream bars (which they hand make), frozen yogurt, etc... - Quality. My turtle bar was delish. Vanilla ice cream, with pecans on one side, bits of caramel between the nuts, and the entire bar dipped in chocolate. You can definitely tell it's handmade and it was yummy. - Price. Decently priced. Less than $10 for our 2 ice creams, which was cool, especially for what you order. What's Not - They're limited as to how you order their frozen yogurt flavor. Hubby originally wanted the pina colada flavor with a 2nd flavor. The cashier told him they can't put certain flavors together, because of which machine it comes out of. Not customer friendly. This place has a large variety of frozen yogurt/soft serve flavors. It doesn't make sense that they can't accommodate pairing the flavors together. If it comes out of different machines, that means you'll have 2 swirls of frozen yogurt from 2 machines instead of the flavors swirled together. It's definitely possible. Makes me wonder what other limitations they have with their menu. - Wait time. This place appears to be popular with the locals. When it's busy, it's busy. Hubby and I waited a decent time- over 10 minutes- for our 2 ice creams. My point? Be prepared. Because this place is geared towards families with kids, that also means to be prepared for the other elements- a lot of kids, noise, pets, etc... Final Answer Willing to come back here, but may not be a first choice.k read more

I have to start off by saying haunted mini golf... what a barrel of quirky, wholesome, hometown fun! That was the first experience I had here (minus the ice cream unfortunately, it was too busy for that). I recommend you get a group together and have a little unusual fun this Halloween season! Now on to the ice cream... FANTASTIC! My go-to is the butter pecan sundae! You may think that ice cream is ice cream, but I strongly disagree. Here at the Windmill, that ice cream is served fast and friendly, with big portions at competitive prices! Don't let the lack of parking from the ongoing construction in the area deter you. This little spot is worth the stop! read more

I grew up in Hopewell, and the Windmill is our go to place for the best "Snow storms"! Great place for teens and families with children to hang out, whether for ice cream or a round of mini-golf. Nice location, family run business right next to Harold's Inn! read more

I haven't been mini-golfing in years and we had ice cream afterwards. The golf area could use some updating but it's fun and my daughter enjoyed her strawberry soft serve ice cream. I had a blue raspberry slushy. I had a birthday party here years ago. I enjoyed the nostalgia of the place and going with my 4 year old daughter. read more

Can't believe it doesn't have higher reviews! Best soft serve in Pittsburgh sincerely! And don't even get me started on how delicious their chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches are. Must try! read more

Out of town for work and this place gave me my ice cream fix. Parking lot was almost full when I got there and they still managed to serve me pretty quick for how many ppl were in line. I ordered some vanilla soft serve in a cup with crunch coat blended in. This is by far the most topping I've ever been give at an ice cream shop so each bite had the same amount blended as the last bite. Staff seemed friendly and accommodating. read more

Windmill Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Aliquippa, Pennsylvania

There was 10 of us that went there for mini golf and ice creme arriving at 8pm in August. The lighting is so bad that you couldn't see the holes, nor the balls and we were tripping over the buckled and loose carpet on the greens. It was hard to find the next hole because of the lighting plus there is omni stone which is dark and you tripped because you couldn't see. When we were finished some got ice creme and were charged a different (higher) price from what was on written on the Menu displayed! When asked the girl said "Oh that's from last year and they haven't changed it yet" The miniature golf is a lawsuit waiting to happen because of the poor lighting. read more

Our favorite ice cream place around. We drive out of our way to come here when there is an ice cream place very near where we live. The staff is always friendly and the ice cream to quote my nephew is BOMB. read more

One of my favorite hometown joints for ice cream. The other day me and my friend got a Reese's peanut butter cup parfait and a butter pecan parfait. They were both absolutely delicious. The girl at the counter was very nice and quick to make our order. The prices of the ice cream is competitive to the other places around the area. The Windmill it's also a good place to have a fun little game of mini golf. I definitely recommend going mini golfing around Halloween. read more

The windmill has been around forever. I have not been there since I was a kid. My friend and I went for the haunted mini golf and it was amazing!!! It was a little dark and spooky. But the holes were lit up with glow sticks, there were lights in the right regions and it was pretty cool. The customer experience at this establishment is top notch. There aren't many times I am blown away by customer service, but this one takes the cake. They went out if their way to make sure we enjoyed our experience. There are great soft serve flavors for you to enjoy after you golf. It is a little tough to find the path to the next hole, but that's why you have a light on your phone! I think it adds to the experience. I would 100% go here for the mini golf again. read more

Just wanted to say thanks to the staff at the windmill for being so cautious with My food allergic child. My son ordered soft serve and they actually took the time to clean the machine before serving him. You can't imagine how rare that is and how much I appreciate it. read more

I went there with my boyfriend to mini golf in the evening that turned into night and was disappointed. It was not well lit on the course and did not feel safe. I will not go back. read more

I can't speak for the food, but The Windmill serves hard Hershey's premium ice cream, including several flavors that are gluten free. (If you look on the Hershey website, you'll be able to see what flavors are GF.) I like the butter pecan. read more

Affordable ice cream and food that is worth the price. Mini golf is fun for all ages and would definitely recommend to come here!

The smooth and creamy soft-serve vanilla chocolate twist is worth the trip. Perfect stop after kayaking on Racoon Creek Lake! I will definitely stop here again. read more

Either they downsized the size of their sugar cones or I was the victim of some practical joke at the Windmill yesterday evening. After ordering a swirl for my girlfriend and a single scoop chocolate ice cream in a sugar cone for myself. I was surprised at the size of the sugar cone. It looked like something for a small child . The ice cream immediately began to dribble down my hand making a mess. I had to eat it as fast as possible to minimize the mess that was all over my hand. Im taking my business elseware where they give you a decent sized cone and ice cream cold enough to make it to your car before it melts. read more

Visited the Windmill for the first time in a long time. We live out of town now so it was a trip down memory lane. Unfortunately I didn't think the ice cream was worth the effort. The soft serve was way too soft and was melting immediately there was no way to eat it fast enough all of our cones no matter the flavor were this condition. I chose coconut which had a stale/old ice cream taste to it and my favorite part was that they were running out of crunch topping so they just threw the dust on it. (I would have preferred they just say they were out.) The girls at the window were disorganized and not particularly helpful. The miniature golf is another story. It's been redone and updated and is still a great family activity. I would however skip the ice cream there are better choices in the area. read more

The food was what is to be expected. Actually the fries were above average. However the experience that we had with the girl at the window was sub par at best. Her attitude was horrible, very unpleasant and she dropped the ball. Along with getting food we also paid for a round of the haunted mini golf. We did not receive the balls or a score card and we were never told where to go to for the mini golf. After eating we were ready for a round of mini golf. We had to ask other customers where to go because the employees were nowhere to be found. Finally we found where to go but we didn't have the balls or score card. If we hadn't paid for a round already we would have left. We began the mini golf. It was decorated well and had a great ambiance. The lighting around the holes could have been better and there were supposed to be actors but we encountered only one jump scare. The paintings around the course were amazing. That alone is worth going for, but try to avoid the employees they are no help. read more
