Fleet is full of learning opportunities. The kids will be so busy having fun that they won’t even realize they’re learning new things about science the whole time they’re playing with the interactive exhibits.

While you may not initially think your kids would be interested in observing art, these pieces are different! They’ll be amused by the LEGO construction of the sculptures. You don’t see these in just any museum.

The ice cream sandwiches are a fan favorite. With ice cream made from scratch, sweet mix-ins, and delicious cookies, this incredible creation will delight the whole family.
Crunchtime Popcorn
You can also get a classic ice cream cone at Crunchtime. With flavors ranging from Birthday Cake and Sweet Cinnamon to Double Dark Chocolate, the base alone will be scrumptious. To really make the flavor burst, mix in M&Ms, rainbow sprinkles, and Oreos (we say this from experience!).
