It's hard to categorize Scrumptious. They offer ice cream and other treats in-house, and sell every kind of candy, especially those hard to find items. All of the ice cream is made in the store. It's worth a visit, even if you just want 5 cents worth of candy, please.

Shopping
This is one of the best shop for unique items for children under 10 I have ever visited. I get all my gift items for the children in my life - especially the little girls. Even if you don't know of any children, it's worth visiting for the whimsy of it all. And across the street is Adorn - the gift shop for the older people in your life (any one above 10).

Parks & Nature
The name on the map says "Calkins Lake" but this body of water was renamed YEARS ago to Union Reservoir. (Frankly, we like Calkins Lake better.) No matter what you call it, it is the only swimming beach in Longmont and a great place to go when it's hot. The lake offers swimming, boating, and just relaxing. Boat rentals available (e.g., kayaks and more). There is a per car entrance fee of about $8. Check online for up to date rates and open times.

Walk the 3.5 mile loop trail or just lounge on the grass or a park bench. There are also tennis courts and picnic tables. This is a great spot on a warm day. You'll likely see ducks, herons, pelicans, and some days you may even see a bald eagle or two.

Everything Else
The recreation center's low rates even for out of towners makes it a great place to go swim, or use the fitness center, climbing wall or other activities. The city also maintains an outdoor pool (with sand beach), a lap pool, and two smaller pools for younger children, all at the same low rates. Check out all the details at the city's website: http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/rec/gen/lrc.htm
