Dippin’ Dots

Every zoo has animals. Boring! Not every zoo has Dippin’ Dots, though. Dippin’ Dots are fun. They’re cold. They’re round. They’re airy. Here is their official description: “In 1988, microbiologist Curt Jones used his knowledge of cryogenic technology to invent Dippin’ Dots — an unconventional ice cream treat that’s remarkably fresh and flavorful, introducing the world to beaded ice cream.” Zoos are often the places where people are first introduced to the delightful treat. That is why I am ranking the animal parks in Ohio by their number of Dippin’ Dots locations. And I don’t even work for them!

Number One (Tie): Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Number of Locations: 3

Description: “The perfect way to cool down with Dippin’ Dots frozen desserts. Served in a variety of cool and tasty flavors at locations near our Main Entrance, the Safari Train, and across from LaRosa’s.”
