"I may be slightly biased because this is my niece Deb McCreary's place. However, this Ice Cream Fountain is truly unique! I very much love the Pretzel ice cream and I'm normally a chocolate or mint chocolate ice cream. Eckels Ice Cream Fountain also does lunch . You have the pick of candy there as well. Eckels also does wonderful window displays, according to times of year or event. There is entertainment, you will have to find out what is happening when you are in Mechanicsburg, Pa. I'm not sure but I believe you can book place for private parties. Also will have to talk to Deb McCreary for info on that as well. Last but not least a movie was shot there with Angelina Jolie, Winona Ryder and Whoopie Goldberg. There are pictures encased in thick glass on tables and booths. Finally there is a Vintage Pharmacy there that has original prescriptions and instruments and medicines from another era. When you visit be sure to look up at the original ceilings, punched tin, absolutely beautiful. There are Cola Cola soda machine from back in the sixties and things to buy in the big glass counters (that's where you will find the candy as well). There is something for everyone at Eckels Ice Cream Fountain. Come by and ask the Soda Jerk for a dish of hand scooped ice cream for dessert after you have lunch. Every time I come up from Mississippi I have to go to Eckels Ice Cream Fountain for the best ice cream around. Sure hope to see you next time I come and visit. Don't forget to sign her book, showing that you and your family stopped by! (I sign it every trip...hee hee)"

Such a quaint ice cream shop! Authentic apothecary decor, and the charm to match! The fact that they serve Hershey's ice cream is just a bonus! Great place to bring the kids or the ending to a nice date as well. View menu

This place is like a dream. Beautiful architecture, delicious food, and wonderful people made my first experience perfect, and I'm dying for a second. With a quaint, small-town atmosphere, this place feels like everyone will know your name in no time.

Small towns like Mechanicsburg with their history and charm are where it's at these days, and Eckels reflects that charm and nostalgia with its awesome ice cream and milkshakes! Go for the food, stay for the throwback atmosphere. I recommend it highly. View menu

I've lived in the Mechanicsburg area all my life and finally came here 2 weeks ago. Returned within a week with our grandkids. They loved the Magical Unicorn sugar cones. Great atmosphere, friendly employees and owners. Prices are very reasonable. Sorry it took me so long to get here but, it won't be long till i am back!
