Dad’s Soft Ice Cream

About

In the Madison County village of Chittenango, Dad’s Soft Ice Cream has been serving classic treats since 1991. The family-owned stop’s menu covers soft-serve and hard ice cream, creamy shakes and a local favorite called the BLASTER, and it is a sweet spot for a quick treat or a family outing.

Chittenango is the birthplace of L. Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz, and the village leans into the connection with Oz-themed touches around town. A cone from Dad’s makes a good companion to a stroll through the village.
