Our Past Experiences
In 2022, we headed to the annual free cone day to the Stadium Blvd location in Ann Arbor. I picked my daughter up from school and we headed straight to DQ. We were lucky to make it before the kids who walked there from her high school.
In 2017, we both enjoyed a Dairy Queen Free Ice Cream Cone with cherry topping ($1 donation for each). Personally, I love that they let my daughter get hers in a cup which she prefers.
2016 was the perfect day for Free Cone Day. It was t-shirt weather. We went right after school. While there was a short line, it moved quickly.
If your kids aren’t in school yet (or you’re a work at home empty nester like me), I recommend stopping by at lunch/early afternoon before the after school crowds.
I am hoping for a nice warm day for free cone day.
