Though the ice cream itself isn’t necessarily the cheapest option, heading to Menchie’s is an awesome idea if you need to kill a lot of time. By the time your kids sample, build, and eat their ice cream it’s been quite the time, plus, there are endless board games to extend the family fun. Bonus: in the winter, Groupon often has Menchie’s coupons where you can pay $5 in return for 10 Menchie’s bucks!
