A trip to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is an amazing experience. It’s a unique place, where one can discover the beauty of the world around us from the convenience of our own backyard.

Pierre’s Ice Cream Company is excited to be a part of that experience. Beginning this year, Aramark at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has added Pierre’s treats to its menu. Pierre’s Ice Cream will now be served at the Sweet Shop located in historic Wade Hall, and at various other locations throughout the zoo.

Aramark, eager to partner with a local ice cream maker with a reputation for quality and service, chose Pierre’s Ice Cream Company. Aramark and Pierre’s updated the interior of the Wade Hall shop in time for its spring opening. The Sweet Shop has a fresh look on the inside, complete with new paint, signage and an electronic menu screen. The Victorian-style building, constructed in 1884, features a wrap-around deck that overlooks scenic Waterfowl Lake.

Guests of the Sweet Shop may choose from an assortment of four hand-dipped Pierre’s Ice Cream flavors. The list includes Emerald Necklace, a special flavor created in celebration of Cleveland Metroparks and in benefit of the park system’s Trails Fund. Emerald Necklace features mint ice cream, fudge swirl and chocolate cream cookies.

Ice cream lovers will also be able to indulge in Pierre’s Fresh, the soft-serve version of Pierre’s Premium Ice Cream that offers patrons the opportunity to experience Pierre’s “fresh off the line”.  This irresistible recipe is made from the same high-quality ingredients you know and love and can only be had at one of two places around town, Progressive Field … and now … Cleveland Metroparks Zoo!

In all, three Pierre’s Fresh Soft Serve stands will be located at the zoo. Ice cream carts will offer a chance for visitors to enjoy Pierre’s Premium Novelties, including Crunch Bars, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Slide-Ups® Orange Sherbet Treats, Sundae Cones and Frosted Smoothies®.

On behalf of Aramark and Pierre’s, we look forward to serving you!
