Zems Ice Cream & Miniature Golf

Zems Ice Cream & Miniature Golf is a cheerful stop in Canastota where summer traditions meet sweet nostalgia. The ice cream stand serves soft-serve custard and Hershey’s hard ice cream, and a 19-hole mini-golf course is there to play while the cones melt. It is a sweet summer tradition.

A game room and picnic tables are on site, and a candy shop stays open year-round with old-time favorites from the early 1900s next to today’s best-loved sweets. Look for the red caboose and the 10-foot giraffe out front. The ice cream stand runs from spring through Labor Day.
