Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit during off-peak hours (weekday afternoons around 2-4 PM) to avoid the after-school and post-dinner rush crowds
  2. 2.Take advantage of the combo meals if kids are hungry,you can get burgers and treats together for better value
  3. 3.Bring wet wipes or napkins, as Blizzards and dipped cones can get messy quickly with little hands
  4. 4.Ask for a small or mini size first,DQ portions are generous and kids often can't finish the larger sizes
  5. 5.Check the DQ app for mobile deals and coupons before ordering to save on family treats

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons between 2-4 PM are ideal for shorter lines, or stop by on weeknights before 6 PM. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when families flock here for dessert after dinner.

What to Know

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round, though summer months see the biggest crowds during evening hours. Watch for seasonal Blizzard flavors that rotate throughout the year, and special promotions on Free Cone Day (typically in March).
