They have the best turtle sundaes! After trying theirs, I compare everyone elses turtle sundaes to theirs. My fiance ordered their hand dipped banana split and we got a doggy dish for our pup. The sizes are pretty decent. A medium turtle sundae was plenty and even the doggy dish was more than I expected! Highly recommend!!

Great ice cream. This place has been a symbol of joy and happy smiles in Lebanon for years. Their nachos and BBQ sandwiches are really good. There is nice playground next to the store and a place to sit and eat you ice cream and watch your kids play. A great place for a quick family treat.

ICP is an absolute must stop! Grab a coney dog and a flurry and enjoy the playground. Service is pretty slow but it’s worth the wait.

If you like your homemade ice cream with artificial flavor and dye then this is the place for you. Got a scoop of strawberry which contained a SINGLE strawberry sliver mixed inside, was hot pink, and tasted nothing like a real strawberry. Also got the English toffee because, oh I dunno, I thought itd have English toffee mixed in. Nope. Just toffee coloring. I only stopped here because I was driving through Lebanon, but ended up having to stop at a rest stop solely to throw this stuff away, and Ive never thrown away ice cream in my life!!! The old time charm is cute and the people were nice. Thats about all I can say

Very good ice cream! Especially the soft serve banana split was just a delight. They have plenty of parking, patio area where you can sit and a playground for the kids. Perfect to take a break on a road trip

I visited this shop as a pit stop on a bike trip from Thorntown to Lebanon and back along the Heritage Trail.It was a sunny evening in mid April, and business was already hopping, at both the window service and the drive-thru.As other reviewers mentioned, service was slow, but they were friendly enough. I got a mint chip flurry, and my husband got the homemade vanilla. The ice cream was pretty good, but I have had better. Im rather an ice cream coneseur.The sizes were pretty standard for this part of the country. The people in front of me ordered a small soft serve, which I would say was about 3/4 cup in size. My husband got a two-dip homemade ice cream, and I would say it was about a cup and a half. I got a large flurry, and I would say it was about a 16 oz size, or 2 cups.There were several outdoor picnic tables as well as a fenced in playground for kids. This was a fun stop as part of our day, and I would go back, but from a purely ice cream review standpoint, it would not reach my top five list for best ice cream.Definitely worth a visit, though.

This maybe some of the best ice cream Ive ever had! My wife and I split a hot fudge Sunday for about $3.25. Very good for a mom and pop local place.

First the people are super nice!Really enjoyed my interaction with them.The price is very fair in the $3-4.5 for any items.We were a party of 9 and got to try many different ice cream, milk shakes and slushies... every body was very satisfied with it (even the picky toddler).The seating area is nice but could use a bit of shades.The playground is super nice...but where are the trees?5 stars no hesitation.

One of the best things about summer are the ice cream shops that are open for the season, with their own identity of serving cool treats. With bigger chains everywhere, the real treat is local places like Ice Cream Paradise, still going strong with their nostalgic charm. Though a line of cars can stretch around the building for its drive-thru, the folks bustling inside keep things moving, and the treats are well worth the wait. Service is efficient, and they have things down to a science. Their ice cream offerings are excellent with fresh ingredients. Paradise indeed. Well recommended.

Never tried this place. I tried to but was not greeted, not even acknowledge at all. They were not busy at all. One girl even walked to the window in front of me but refused to look up and make eye contact. Saw drive thru cycle out twice. Needless to say I will not be trying them ever it looks like. If they werent even busy I can only imagine how bad there customer service would be a little busy even.In the time it took me to stand there and have them ignore me and not help me I was able to go and get food somewhere else was greeted at great service and was able to get home in that same amount of time. Dont waste your time itll just anger you.

Don’t get me started with this ice cream joint, it’s the best place to find a homemade turtle sundae in the whole world! Well at least that’s my experience so far after traveling to many countries in Asia, Europe, and in the States where whenever I had opportunity I always tried their local ice cream joint, and until today I still can’t find any place that make turtle sundae as delicious as this one. I’ve been coming to this place since about two decades ago with my family, and no, we don’t live in Lebanon, IN, so it’s a quiet a bit of a drive for us, but it’s all worth it. Give it a try, and judge it for yourself self. I am pretty sure that you’ll agree with me. And by the way, ask for an extra pecan on your turtle sundae. They do offer many variety of ice cream flavors, but turtle sundae is their best specialty!

I love this place, you can get the best nachos here and it is enough to feed 2. My kids favorite here, is the daily flavor of frozen sherbert that can be mixed with vanilla ice cream. And then the ever popular play ground. Love this place.❤

Got turned down because we “pulled in after 9.” You need to update your hours online if you’re going to close an hour before you list, which is 10 pm. Drove all the way from Zionsville to buy over $40 worth of ice cream for our family, only to be told that the car in front of us was the last car they would serve. There were only three cars left in line. Horrible service and will not return. That is not how to run a business.

Review №51

The ice cream is pretty good, but on their flurries, you dont get much topping. And their prices are absolutely ridiculous. I could go buy about 5 gallons of ice cream at a store for what our family pays for one visit there. The playground they have is nice though! This is a good every-once-in-a-while type place for our family.

Review №55

If you say chocolate chip mint it should have more than TWO chocolate chips. TWO that was ALL. If you think this is the best ice cream in town you need to leave town more often. Dairy Queen is way better.

Review №57

Always delicious and always feeling like I should have gotten a smaller portion. They fill up the servings, and they have a great little playground with seats to sit at right next to the parking lot. Such a great place! Love it here! The only thing missing is a public restroom, but maybe thats by design to keep people from hanging out too long. Lol Idk. Try the strawberry shortcake flurry! Its my fave!!

Im a truck driver from Florida. Have found in the north that they say Homemade ice cream for some other reason. I was expecting homemade like I would do. Not delivered,manufactured ice cream. Every ones ice creams better than Dairy Queen really.

Their ice cream tastes better than Dairy Queen in my Opinion and the small vs Large flurries are only like 75 cents apart. Their cookies are absolutely amazing but like $5 for 12. Service can be slow when theyre overrun with people but thats no different than any other place.

Review №77

Im sorry. But time after time I get a flurry with 95% ice cream and 5% heath candy. Terrible. The candy is what makes your ice cream edible. Vanilla is boring. Give me what I pay for.

The Ice cream is Awesome. It is pricey, but then again, Dairy Queen is also overpriced.
