Pro Tips

  1. 1.Check their website or call ahead for the daily flavor specials,they rotate fresh flavors every day and kids love picking something new and unusual
  2. 2.Visit during off-peak hours (2-4 PM on weekdays) to avoid the dinner rush and long lines, especially in summer
  3. 3.Order a small or kid's size first,Kopp's portions are notoriously generous and even small sizes are larger than expected
  4. 4.Grab extra napkins and let younger kids eat in the car or at outdoor seating to minimize sticky messes
  5. 5.Try a concrete mixer if your kids love mix-ins,they blend toppings throughout the entire custard

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons (2-5 PM) are ideal before the dinner and post-dinner crowds arrive. Summer evenings are bustling and fun but expect 20-30 minute waits. Visit in fall or spring for shorter lines while still enjoying the full experience.

What to Know

Extremely budget-friendly with meals under $10 per person. Parking lot can be tight during peak hours, so be patient. Both indoor seating and outdoor picnic tables available, but many families prefer to eat in their cars on busy days.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round, making it a great winter treat destination when other ice cream stands close. Summer brings the longest lines but also the most festive atmosphere. Holiday-themed flavors often appear around major holidays.
