Lil' Caboose Ice Cream

Lil' Caboose Ice Cream Local Family Owned and Operated Ice Cream Shop The Lil' Caboose was originally from the Grafton-Upton train line after it went out of service.
(1)

Family owned and operated, the Lil' Caboose has been serving delicious old fashioned ice cream and hot dogs to families from all over during the vacation summer months since the 1960's. The retired caboose was shipped to Cape Cod around 1964 and turned into a Cape Cod land mark serving ice cream from creameries all over New England. Today, the Caboose is used not only as a historic land mark, but also as a kitchen to serve our delicious ice cream (hard and soft), hot dogs, pizza, and sandwiches all summer long! Come and enjoy a cone or some lunch while sitting on our large spacious deck overlooking the gorgeous flower gardens, or bring the kids to play in the choo-choo train playground. With plenty of parking and the friendliest staff around, you'll be sure to enjoy your visit to the Lil' Caboose.
