    Express line all the way! This is the secret. Skip the 45-minute regular line and go straight to the express. Within 4 minutes, you’ve got a pint of delicious Bada bing (dark chocolate and cherries) ice cream, a razz ice cream sandwich, and Oreo slider. Loved the rich and refreshing bada bing and would come back when in the area to try the grasshopper and cookie jar. 5 stars!!!!

    This was rated as the top ice cream place in the US, and it did not disappoint! Delicious and high quality ice cream, with lots of unique flavors. The lines were long, but it move fairly quickly. We got our ice cream within 15-20 minutes of lines / waiting. Also, the parking was busy, but we did find a spot.

    Wow the ice cream here is REALLY good! I always judge a spot by how good their vanilla is and the vanilla here is really good. I got it with coffee and if you’re a coffee lover this is a great combo. Super creamy but light and not too sweet!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If happiness had a flavor, I’m pretty sure it would be found at Ferris Acres Creamery 🍦🐄 This place is pure magic. From the moment you pull in, you get those classic New England farm vibes that instantly make you smile. The ice cream? Absolutely incredible. Rich, creamy, homemade perfection that makes you question every grocery store ice cream decision you’ve ever made in your life. The hardest part of visiting is choosing a flavor because they all sound amazing. And somehow the portions are generous enough to make you think, “Maybe I can finish this,” right before realizing you’ve accidentally eaten enough ice cream for a small family. No regrets. The atmosphere is part of the experience too — families laughing, kids running around, cows nearby, and everyone looking genuinely happy with an ice cream cone in hand. It feels like a little slice of summertime nostalgia no matter what season it is. Ferris Acres isn’t just an ice cream stop… it’s an experience. And honestly? Totally worth the line. 🎉🍨🌞
