You know winter's over when the line at Richardson's Ice Cream snakes all the way down to the batting cages at this heavenly family spot.

Richardson's ice cream comes right from the cows on the farm out back, where you can also see sheep, chickens, ducks and even a rooster. The Richardsons have been farming for over three centuries, but today's farm includes miniature golf courses, batting cages and driving range.

Enjoy flavors like Purple Cow indoors in the spotless, all-season dining room, or on the outdoor patio with waterfalls. And don't forget a gallon of milk to take home. You can also enjoy Richardson's ice cream at Jordan's Furniture, Reading (see below).

ReviewsTop

Of course there are crowds, Fri 5 Sep 2008

Anyone who expects to find Richardson's manageable on a summer day should just stop at a gas station for a popsicle. The ice cream is worth the wait, and hey, what's summer for? The staff are teenagers, not known for customer service skills.

It Was Packed And None Of The Customers Spoke Our Language, Tue 2 Sep 2008

Ice cream good. Customers...rude.


TipsTop

  • Expect to wait in line on warm evenings; or, time your visit to beat the after-school and after-dinner crowds. Richardson's is a farm, and little ones will be surprised to find out that cows SMELL.
