We stopped here on our way to the Salton Sea and it was a good 30 minutes of fun! My kids all really enjoyed the banana soda and ice cream and I enjoyed the cool photo ops :) Def worth a quick stop...

Went here years ago while on the way to Salvation Mountain…. So glad we stopped!!! Fun little place with a great milkshake to recharge after a long motorcycle scoot. Hope they open up again and haven’t been killed by COVID!

An impressive collection of curios and assorted banana-related trinkets. It’s a small space so expect to wait in line during busy weekends. It’s not open every day so check ahead of time for hours. Ice cream and banana shakes are also sold and are very good. Admission is $1 per person.
