FREE Ice Cream at Coral Springs Monkey Joe’s

Posted on Jul 12, 2016

The coolest day of the summer is coming up soon… National Ice Cream Day on July 17!

If you are wondering how ice cream managed to get its own national holiday, let us explain. It all started in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as National Ice Cream Month! He also appointed the third Sunday of July as National Ice Cream Day, which this year is July 17. President Reagan proclaimed for all Americans to observe National Ice Cream Day with “appropriate ceremonies and activities,” so that is exactly what we are doing at Monkey Joe’s in Coral Springs, Florida!

We are celebrating by giving out FREE ice cream to our guests on July 17! Who doesn’t love free ice cream in Florida, after all? It’s just our way of saying “thank you” for choosing Monkey Joe’s in Coral Springs as your playground and party headquarters. Also, you will enjoy cooling off with a tasty treat while your kiddo enjoys unlimited playtime.
