It’s no secret that it can get hot in Ohio in the summer, but thankfully there are plenty of places where you can cool off with a frozen treat. These are 3 of our favorite places to stop for ice cream on extra hot days in Circleville, OH.

Wittich’s Candy Shop

Wittich’s is celebrating over 180 years in business! They are the oldest family-owned and operated candy shop in the country, so you know whatever you get, it’s going to be good. The candy shop sells hand-dipped chocolates, sugar-free hard candies, fudge, nuts, and candy-making supplies. They also have an old-fashioned soda fountain, which is where you can order a variety of sweet treats. Choose from a variety of milkshakes, sundaes, or waffle cones.

Circleville Dairy Shed

The original Dairy Shed was built back in 1964. Since then, it has undergone many changes and upgrades, but it is still a family-owned mom & pop shop. Their current building was built in 2001 and even has a drive-thru! That’s not the only thing that has changed over the years, the menu has grown as well. They now have over 100 menu items to choose from, including everything from hot dogs and burgers to ribeye steak.

Of course, the star of the show at Circleville Dairy Shed is the desserts. They offer 43 flavors of soft serve, all of which are served in your choice of a cone, cup, pint, quart, or gallon size. In addition to soft serve, they also have 14 different specialty sundaes and 29 different flavors of arctic swirl. If that’s not enough for you, you can also choose from a variety of milkshakes or try a slushie or fruit smoothie.

United Dairy Farmers

To the rest of the world, it may seem crazy to think that the best frozen dairy treat in town comes from a convenience store. But here in Ohio, we know that United Dairy Farmers is the place to go if you are craving quality. Originally started as a dairy store in 1938, United Dairy Farmers has expanded across Ohio and offers way more than just delicious milkshakes and cones. Make sure to try their homemade brand of frozen dessert.

There are plenty of places to choose from when taking the family out for a frozen treat on a hot day, and you don’t need to worry about the kids making a mess all over the back seat. Ford’s ActiveX seating material is designed just for these situations. It is easy to clean and stain-resistant, so when the kids spill in the back seat, it’s easy to wipe up.
