SO. MUCH. ICE CREAM. Google or yelp this place first. You will see pictures of the "child size", which is essentially a quart of ice cream. I think the ice cream is made in Wisconsin somewhere (not in house), but still a great place to grab some!

Nelson's has a wide array of flavors and is a great deal. You only need to get the kid sized cup or cone because it is MASSIVE. There is also an aggressive ice cream eating challenge. The Lumberjack is not for the timid. Five softball-sized scoops of any flavor arrangement and choice of toppings, allows for countless combinations. Here is the best part… if you finish this goliath alone, your picture will be enshrined on Nelson’s “Wall of fame”.

If you like Ice cream and don't like paying an arm and a leg come to this classic Minnesota favorite. A child size cone for under 4 bucks is almost un-finishable for two people.
