FREE Ice Cream at Warner Robins Monkey Joe’s!

Posted on Jul 07, 2016

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

Are you wondering how ice cream managed to get its own national holiday? It started in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as National Ice Cream Month and appointed the third Sunday of July as National Ice Cream Day. President Reagan recognized this delicious treat as yummy, nutritious, and fun. He 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 Warner Robins, Georgia!

We will be giving away free chocolate and vanilla ice cream cups (while supplies last) on July 17 at our playground! It’s just our way of saying “thank you” for choosing Monkey Joe’s in Warner Robins as your playground and party headquarters. You will enjoy cooling off with a tasty treat in our indoor, air conditioned playground while your little one takes advantage of our unlimited playtime. As always, adults are free!
