Madison, Wisconsin - Ella's Animatronic Deli The most astounding Ice Cream Parlor & Kosher Deli in the
Midwest. There's a functioning merry-go-round outside, which isn't really that big of a deal. The interior is chock full of
animatronic characters: Superman, Batman, a UFO and a fisherman with two huge
trout circling him are among the many ceiling residents. Every bit of shelf
or counter space house little moving dioramas. Some of my favorites
include the "singing" feet by the front door, the Beatles, and the dancing
frogs in one of the far corners. Then there are the themed glass-topped/box-type
tables, of course being Wisconsin there are Green Bay Packer and Badger
tables, but also filled with different gum packages, old ice cream and milk packaging, an airplane table, and a table with one of those marble mazes where you direct the marble by influencing the level of the board with knobs.
They are constantly changing and adding new things to the interior.
Oh yeah, and they've got AWESOME sundaes (try the grilled poundcake turtle
sundae) and delicious sandwiches. [Heidi, 07/08/2001]
