Get Up & Go! Mini Golf & Ice Cream

Mini golf and ice cream are two staples of summer. Those living in Massachusetts are lucky enough to be able to combine these pastimes–it is hard to find a mini golf course without a location for a tempting frozen treat nearby. But if you are not searching for a hole-in-one before your dessert, there are plenty of locations worth visiting for the ice cream alone.

Get out and enjoy what’s left of the beautiful summer nights, whether that involves perfecting a putting stance or trying not to drip from a two-scoop sugar cone. Don’t forget to share your pictures with us on Facebook and Instagram! Use the guide below to discover some of the best mini golf and ice cream joints in your area.
