We’ve had some super hot summer days here in Hendricks County, Indiana, and after a day at the parks and trails, swimming, or even playing in the backyard, we have some great places to cool down with ice cream, frozen yogurt and even snow cones.

Spend the afternoon or evening playing foosball, Connect Four or tetherball outside at this Plainfield favorite while enjoying your sweet treat.
Danny's Mexican Ice Cream
Traditionally, Mexican ice cream offers a creamier texture, and it’s all about the flavor, and Danny's provides that in spades.

One of the newest additions to Avon is the Milkshake Factory. They’ve been around since 1914, during the soda fountain days, but they only have two locations in Indiana so far.
