The Magical Plush Horse Ice Cream Shoppe

The Magical Plush Horse Ice Cream Shoppe at 7903 W. 171st Street in Tinley Park has made ice cream in house since 2012. The parlor runs more than 70 flavors through the year, each made in house, and serves them as cones, shakes, malts, sodas, sundaes and banana splits. A baking counter inside turns out custom ice cream cakes, cake rolls and brownies for birthdays. Unlike a lot of suburban ice cream stands, the shop stays open all year, and the owners say the shop has been named the best ice cream in the Southland.
