Gloucester, Cape Pond Ice In The News - Boston Sunday Globe

Feed their minds and tummies
These food-themed destinations are sure to satisfy kids’ cravings for fun
By Shira Springer, Globe Staff | June 27, 2010
Kids and food can be a touchy subject. Literally. My toddler nephew Henry believes smushed bananas and yogurt should double as hair gel. More often than not with kids, mealtime devolves into a don’t-throw-that, eat-this, no-dessert-for-you struggle of wills.
Food-themed destinations give kids permission to have fun with what they eat, to learn where it all comes from, to see dessert in a different way, to appreciate freshness, to celebrate the bounty of the ocean and the land. A trip to a food factory or a farm won’t make your child a better eater, but it might give him a new appreciation for what appears on his plate.

Where would the food industry be without ice? Not in an appetizing place. Fifty-minute tours show the vital part played by ice. “Nowadays, people take ice for granted and that’s part of the theme of our tour, how much things have changed,’’ said owner Scott Memhard. “We like to tie in the history of our industry and our company, the fishing industry, the whole ‘Perfect Storm’ story, and people’s lives today.’’ Tours take visitors through the plant, where they see 300-pound blocks of ice, walk into the icehouse freezer, marvel at an ice sculpture exhibit, and watch boats pull into the harbor and load up with ice. With icehouse freezer kept at 28 degrees, warm clothing and practical shoes recommended. 104 Commercial St., 978-283-0174, www.capepondice.com; tours Mon.-Sat. 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., and 2 p.m., Sun. 11 a.m., adults $10, seniors and children under 12 $8, under 7 free.
