Dreamette Ice Cream - Springfield

Pastries and breakfast with room to sit outside, a relaxed morning stop with toddlers.

A covered outdoor area where kids roam and play Connect Four or cornhole while you eat. There's axe throwing too, and it's not for them.

Miniature versions of the city's bridges crossing a little pond shaped like the river. A short stop for a kid who loves bridges.

A shaded path with a picture book posted page by page along the way, so a scooter or bike ride turns into story time. Playscapes too.

Three floors of candy and an overlook where kids watch it being made in the factory below.

A big kids' area with a comfy reading corner and spots to play and climb, so it doubles as a rainy-day play space.
