Mad Hatter's Ice Cream

Mad Hatter Ice Cream 👽🍦 One of Washington's quirkiest roadside stops, Mad Hatter Ice Cream is impossible to miss. A crashed UFO sits in the front yard, Bigfoot proudly holds a towering ice cream cone, colorful alien murals cover the buildings, and around back you'll find "Gary Town"—population: 1 human and 2 dogs. Owner Gary opened the shop in 2011 and filled it with his playful imagination. After struggling through the early years, an unexpected boost came in 2016 when Pokémon GO launched. With multiple PokéStops nearby, curious players flocked to the shop, helping keep it in business. Gary sold Mad Hatter Ice Cream in 2025, but its whimsical personality remains, making it a must-stop for anyone who loves roadside oddities, sci-fi, and places that don't take themselves too seriously. 👽🛸🍦
