Nosh or Not
Go see Gertie if:
You think Gertie is an icon. No, you don’t THINK she’s an icon… you KNOW she’s an icon. Because she IS. This is where you’ll find the GIANT Gertie the Dinosaur, hanging out in Echo Lake.
It’s Christmastime. Gertie wears a Santa hat around Christmas, and it’s EVERYTHING.
Your kid is begging for ice cream. Okay, fine. Enough about the dinosaur. What about the TREATS? Gertie’s place focuses on classic soft serves and Mickey ice cream treats. So, in conclusion, your kiddo’s going to love it here.
Skip Gertie if:
You need a more reliable snack. Gertie’s isn’t always open. There’s a good chance she might be hibernating during slower times of the year.
You want more snack options. Ice cream. That’s it. That’s all you’re going to find here.
You want more snack options AND more exciting options, too. We can summarize Gertie’s entire menu right here, right now: You can get a Mickey Premium Bar OR a Mickey ice cream sandwich, OR you can get a chocolate, vanilla, or swirled soft serve. And… that’s basically it.
