the Paradise is a local staple that has held on to certain aspect of originality but has also let some things fall short, so let me explain. general ran by a group of high schoolers, and this is great to promote business and management practice, but while running this way with the ratio I seen saturday, I was able to feel the originality. my order was taken by what I was guess to be a 15, 16 yr old whom only memorized the basics off the menu so good thing for for a wall menu display on the side so please know your order before hand to help the ones taking your order, they confuse easily at times. Though the group of youngsters seemed to create a fun and playful work environment, a level of professionalism would have carried this a long way, but hey, it's just ice cream. the overall variety was actually quite the selection and while the ice cream wasn't cold stone folded, it still had that handmade creamy texture. I went with the waffle cone and double scoop of bubblegum, my son wanted a scoop of old English toffee and my wife grabbed the Paradise Nachos using blueberry ice cream and raspberry sauce with chocolate drizzle and crushed peanuts while my daughter didnt want anything but thats understandable since we just left BackroadsBBq, making these to destinations an amazing pair of neighbors. the Paradise offers a small seating area out front while waiting for orders and some stay to eat, but there are spot scattered area a small play area for children which was quite nice but we had grown kids so we sat in our car and enjoyed our snacks. the prices were fair and reasonable for all the items we seen, but the extras or added toppings can increase fast but won't break your pocket. will we be returning, yes, we are local and the items are tasty.

Spring has arrived in Lebanon, Indiana, and with it comes the reopening of Ice Cream Paradise under new ownership. The revitalization of this beloved community tradition is a welcome sight for locals and visitors alike. The return of Ice Cream Paradise ensures that future generations will continue to enjoy the sweet treats and nostalgic atmosphere that have been a staple of the town for years.

It was good. You can tell the ice cream is handmade. My wife had a banana split and I had a hand dipped cone. It was better than some of the ice cream places back home.
Kid-friendliness: They have a playground onsite for the kids.

Normally we absolutely love this place. Great ice cream, atmosphere, speed of service, and prices. Yesterday, however, I asked for a cup of tap water with my two sloppy joes and they said they could only sell me a bottle. I'm pretty sure providing tap water at food establishments is expected or required. But it could have been a misunderstanding through the order mic. Additionally, something must have been wrong with the sloppy joes because it caused myself and my friend to have a rather bowel-uncomfortable afternoon. I've loved coming here over the years, so I'm hoping this is a one-off and everything will not continue this way.
