Nelson's Ice Cream is a popular Minnesota ice cream store known for its huge portions, great flavors, and reasonable prices. The service is fast and friendly, with a line often going out the door.

It is child-friendly, as all kids generally enjoy ice cream, and visitors love the patio area for eating with family. The outdoor space is perfect for creating fun memories, especially in summer. Customers appreciate the enormous servings, such as the child size, which can be enough to feed two people.

With open free parking, it is easy to stop by and enjoy a special treat together, away from phones and distractions.
