There is no bad time for ice cream, if you ask most lovers of the creamy treat. Many ice cream parlors around New Jersey close for the season when it gets cold, either to prepare for the busy season and craft new flavors, or simply because there aren’t enough customers around. That’s not the case for Big Scoop Family Ice Cream Parlor in Seaside Heights, a Jersey Shore ice cream parlor that does everything larger than life. This sprawling building also features an indoor arcade and outdoor mini-golf course, making it a popular choice for birthday parties. But if this Jersey Shore mainstay is known for one thing, it’s the massive portions of ice cream they dish out. In fact, they may just serve the biggest ice cream in New Jersey. Whether you want a traditional cone or a sprawling sundae, Big Scoop Family Ice Cream Parlor has exactly what you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.

The colorful logo at Big Scoop lets you know you’re in for a good time for the moment you arrive - and this seaside institution doesn’t disappoint.
