So the State Seal Spring is the marquee destination here, but for something worse-tasting but more unique the Geyser spring is within the same structure. Unfortunately the Charlie spring near the SPAC entrance wasn't flowing as of mid-December. The pine trees get five stars. I wish there were bathrooms available but that could be a seasonal thing. The park is technically reachable by bus but you might have to a wait a bit.

This is a huge park! We only could walk around a few area of the whole park. We got to try a few…read morefresh spring water which interestingly taste uniquely different from each other. The walking trails are wonderful and full with lots of green big trees. The highlight is to walk along the water. We also walks pass some buildings with the spa and restaurant.

This is already my fourth visit here this season, and I've been coming to Control Tower Ice Cream for years. It never disappoints. They have a huge variety of both soft serve and hard ice cream flavors, along with a ton of sundae options. Portion sizes are very generous too, both for sundaes and cones. Today I had the Chocolate Overload Sundae with Moose Tracks ice cream. It came with delicious hot fudge, little peanut butter cup pieces in the ice cream, Oreo crumbles, whipped cream, sprinkles, a cherry, and even a fun size Hershey bar on top. So good. While I was there the people in line in front of me got slushes that looked very much like bomb pop flavors. I bet there's awesome! Almost changed my choice but I stuck with my original sundae choice. I've also had their brownie sundae in the past, and that was excellent too. Trust me when I say a regular size is already pretty large. The large is enormous. This is probably my favorite ice cream place in the area, with Kurver Kreme right behind it. Another thing I really like is how quickly they move people through. Even when there's a line, I've never had to wait very long to order or get my ice cream. They also have go-karts and batting cages, which makes it a fun place overall. The go-karts aren't open until May 16th, but it's nice having those attractions there. 5 stars.

Located next to a mini golf course and batting cages, Control Tower is such a great spot for a post…read moreactivity reward! They have an extensive menu of soft serve and hard ice creams but they're definitely well known for their sundaes which is what we got this time! Sooo decadent and delicious and you get to choose what soft or hard ice cream to go with it! So many options you can't go wrong! We got the coconut caramel, pb trashcan, and another peanut butter themed one which were so good! So easy to order and everything came out quick! They also have indoor seating during hot summer months
