Top Places For Ice Cream Near Indianapolis
Published on
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.
Frost Bite
This classic Avon establishment has been around for decades, providing fun memories and a special treat to local residents and summer guests.
If you’re in the mood for more than ice cream, they also have a menu featuring one of the best tenderloins you will find.
Danville Dips
This popular hangout in downtown Danville, specializes in ice cream and other frozen treats inside an inviting storefront on the square.
Danville Dips also offers indoor craft markets in the winter season, game and trivia nights and more. Located on the southeast corner of the square, it allows you to also shop, eat and enjoy other activities in the historic downtown.
Mandy's Ice Cream
Root Beer Float, Rhubarb Crumble and Ube Chai are just a few of the unique rotating flavors at this Brownsburg ice cream shop. Mandy's also has traditional flavors, shakes, sundaes and ice cream cakes.
It has become a popular hangout for local families on those warm summer nights. Its location also provides easy access to places like Press Play Gaming Lounge, Rock Star Pizza and local shops like Gizmo's Galleria and Valkyrie's Vault.
Lizton Dairy Bar
Another classic – the Lizton Dairy Bar has been around for decades, where people from across the county and beyond enjoy their chili dogs, tacos and, of course, sweet treats, including cones, shakes and so much more.
Just off I-74 in Lizton, stop by for a nostalgic trip down memory lane at this traditional walk-up and drive-through ice cream stand.
Frigid Frog and More
Not only can you choose from a variety of ice cream flavors, shaved ice treats or snow cones at Frigid Frog and More, but there’s also so much to do there with the entire family.
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.
This Avon shop makes its own in-house honeycomb candy and ice cream and has become renowned for offering unusual flavors like Ferrero Rocher, Queso, S’mores and Chocolate Gooey Butter cake as well as desserts you can't find anywhere else, providing a truly unique experience.
The Cup and the Cone
Located in the heart of Amo, The Cup & The Cone is well worth the trip.
Their soft-serve treats come with an assortment of toppings, and the outdoor seating is perfect for friends, neighbors and visitors to hang out in this small Indiana town.
Milkshake Factory
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.
Check out their classic and gourmet milkshakes and sundaes this summer.
