We loved Casey and the Big Dipper was the cherry on top! It's right in town by the best large items you'll want to see. And the ice cream is really good and reasonable. There's a pretty little park area nearby and of course the World's Largest Mailbox is right next to it. Climb up inside after you enjoy your cone!

This is an awesome little walk up ice cream place shaded by the world's largest mailbox which is cool in its own right. The choice of ice cream here, the flavors, and even soft serve or scoop, means you'll definitely find something you like. I got a cup of vanilla soft serve and found it had a very nice flavor! Definitely worth going to!

$3 gets you their smallest size scooped ice cream, still pretty good sized. We enjoyed the Peanut Butter Cup scoop.

This is a great walk-up icecream joint with an amazing variety of soft serve and hand dipped selections. I have always loved Superman icecream and it is harder to find in our area, I was pleasantly surprised to see it on their menu. There are some unique outdoor seating options under the world's largest mailbox, right next to the shop. There is also a unique candy shop and public restrooms right there as well. Our kids loved this place and we will definitely be back!

If I have more stars, I would have used them for this small, nice and lovely ice cream store. Ice cream is fantastic, I’m not a big taster but I’m a truck driver tasted ice cream almost every state in the USA. My number one was in Carlisle PA, but here is one of the best, serving nice young lady was so nice and the owner was amazing, friendly, talkative and provided some information regarding to background of the town. He was very generous and served homemade lemonade as courtesy and it was awesome. If I pass nearby I-70 I will definitely visit this town just for this shop. As I said I’m truck driver and if I have time I try to taste homemade ice creams along my way, this time I have satisfied hundred percent, and the environment is so beautiful. If you are nearby this place don’t miss to visit and taste delicious ice cream number one in the USA and drink homemade lemonade. Wish you all best, Thank you very much indeed??❤️

We visited this establishment in July of 2021. Delicious ice cream, great selection, and we were served quickly. Definitely recommend.Also, if you go to the shop two doors down, they sell postcards which you can actually mail from “The World’s Largest Mailbox” next to the ice cream shop. (My mother did receive hers).
