What Boulder City loves
- When: October, at Art in the Park
- Known for: Soda fountain treats, Candy and caramel
Old-fashioned malts and caramel apples
A candy and ice cream parlor in town says to come for the old-fashioned malts and stay for the caramel apples. Its homemade sweets follow recipes that go back decades.
Sodas with fruit and cream
A local news story from 2020 describes a soda shop that opened here, where you choose a soda, add a fruit puree, then add cream. That story is a few years old, so check that it still pours before you go.
Milk shakes at a soda fountain
A 2004 travel story sent visitors to a diner here with a soda fountain, red vinyl booths and milk shakes. That was more than twenty years ago, so it may have changed.
