We asked our Kansas City Parent Magazine Facebook fans where you get the best frozen summer treat in KC, these are the best answers:
Downtown/ Plaza / Crown Center / Midtown
LeAnne Clay ~ No doubt the best frozen treats come from Murray's ice cream in Westport!
Virginia Ann Pennington ~ Foo's Fabulous Frozen Custard.
Miriam Zarate ~ Sheridan's Frozen Custard at Crown Center is were we get our summer treats.
Stephanie Riesenberg - Glacé (location near the Plaza and one near Town Center) is the best, but if I'm feeling healthier, then Yesso frozen yogurt from Target.
Natalie Brunner ~ We love love love Betty Rae's ice cream in Waldo!
North

Amanda Villers ~ Yogurtini in Liberty!
South
Chelsea Anderson ~ My family, especially my 4-year-old son, love getting our frozen summer treats (snow cones) at Tropical Sno in Martin City, Mo! Bonus, it is right by the railroad tracks so almost every time we go he gets to watch the train go by too! ☀️🚂
