There was a Farrell's ice cream parlor (or rather, stand) inside the Great America amusement park (maybe when they were both owned by Marriott). There were no bells or whistles but they offered three flavors of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, and Great America.
Just a note that those "straw" hats were a very thick Styrofoam! One of my best friends in grade school had a birthday in one and got a sherbet Zoo Party. We loved the little colorful plastic animals that were in it, but our little nine year old selves got a kick out of the little mermaids because they didn't have tops on! Hahaha!
In 2015 I was shocked when a quick visit to the Farrell’s website homepage revealed the primary image on their homepage was me at the Fremont location in 1978! Age 6 years old. Attending my best friend’s birthday party. Coincidentally if you ever saw the episode of Power Rangers Wild Force that was shot at the Santa Clarita location in 2002, I was the On Set Dresser for that episode and location. (deep sigh) Here’s to all the aid raid alarms and clown sundaes
Mid 70s ... Little Rock, Arkansas ... we went to Farrells for my brother's birthday ... he got the 'pig trough' sundae. I think if you ate it all it was free ... sad ending though ... he got the flu that night and threw up everywhere lol
Ate a lot of ice cream at the Whittier location as a teenager, usually in a pig trough. The Neff Marching Band partied here after football games and other occasions. Had a few birthday sundaes, too. I'm not sure that they fit in today's society. They were best suited to the 60s and 70s. That's too bad.

I’ve heard of this chain before but never visited one.Thanks for the upload Eric!.😎
I think Dad took us to the first Farrell's in the DC suburbs at Marlow Heights Mall.
Great memories.

Fun kind of restaurant while still existed. Food meal menu, too. Neat that they had the cashier section formed as a candy store.

I first discovered Farrell's in Hawaii.

I used to live by the one in Buena Park, it still sits abandoned today. 🪦
How times have you been to the California Science center 🤔🧬🌐🧲
Over a dozen times and I was there about a month ago.
