The Knotty Shop Alaska — Local services in Alaska

I grew up in Fairbanks and have always enjoyed a stop at the Knotty Shop for ice cream. It has always been delicious. That has changed. The cookie dough ice-cream was vanilla with mini chocolate chips and butter pecan had no flavor at all. I'm not even sure what they were aiming for it to taste like.

They also have a room filled with taxidermied local wildlife that are posed like it's a huge diorama. Fun place to take the kids to look around. I...
