Big Boy Ice Cream — Restaurant in Tucson

Fantastic place to get dry ice! The dry ice is of excellent quality, and at a low price. Clean place and kind people. The dry ice is sold by weight (they come as blocks, so they can vary in size). Sometimes the blocks of ice are large and other times they are about half the size (each block large or small have a very good thickness that makes it last longer). The blocks can be a bit heavy if you get more than one block. Bring a cooler bag or box, so you can place the ice in. The ice is super cold, so try not to touch the ice even for a second (it can burn the skin, sometimes it doesn't, but just be careful). They come in individual bags. Put the dry ice in another bag or wrap with a towel or both to keep the dry ice longer. Don't breathe in the fumes of the dry ice, a little is fine but it is not good in large amounts, especially not for a long time (it cuts off the oxygen and can make you pass out). If you need help getting the dry ice, just ask the cashier. This place sells everything an ice cream man or woman needs including an assortment of candy, ice creams, and just about anything you may need for the job. Anyone can shop here, as it is open to the public. You can place orders if you need large amounts. This is a gated business, so the gates will only be open during business hours. There are two gates and so sometimes (in the morning when opening or right before closing) there is only one gate open and you can still enter. Plenty of parking. You can pay cash or card. They open at 7:30am every morning and close at 4:30pm Monday through Friday and 1:00pm on...

We have shopped there twice. once coming from the east (originally from Georgia) and then coming from the West (originating from California). Each time the staff was helpful and guided us where we needed to go. The staff also allowed us to make our decisions and helped us with our purchases. Each time we went there it was hot outside but a welcomed chill in their shop and freezer. The products they sell were excellent. We look forward to going there again on our way and...

This is one of the few places you can still get dry ice and at 45 cents per pound it is a good deal too. This place is basically a store used to stock ice cream trucks. So if you like ice cream truck fodder and dont want to wait for the creepy ice cream man to roll by, this is a store for you. Not the tidiest place but my 5 star rating is strictly based on providing dry ice at a...
