Bo's Ice Cream Description
The tempting selections at this long-standing ice cream emporium are a sure crowd-pleaser. Keep it simple with a chocolate or vanilla soft-serve cone or one of the hard-packed ice creams or sorbets, or go for the gusto with a strawberry shortcake sundae or their legendary upside-down banana split (a layered version of the old standby that spills out of a tall Styrofoam cup).
Planning Notes
- All outdoors. Orders are taken at the outdoor counter; no indoor seating is available.
- Take a seat. The two picnic tables are prized seating; grab a seat quickly if one opens up.
- Make it mobile. The drive-thru window is a convenient option, particularly on hot summer days when the line can seem interminable.
- Post-zoo hot spot. Bo's is less than a mile from the Lowry Park Zoo.
