Don’t let the changing leaves fool you. Summer isn't over just yet, and you still have time to make sweet memories in Ontario. Nothing screams summer quite like Ontario's unicorn ice cream cones from this whimsical shop near Toronto.

Located in the charming village of Harriston, Ontario, The Magic Ice Cream Shoppe is still serving adorable unicorn ice cream cones, bowls, and sundaes until the end of September. 

The shop offers 18 different ice cream flavours that change regularly so you can always try something new. 

They also make their own waffle cones and waffle bowls. And the best part? You can add the unicorn effect to just about any treat. 

From simple cones to banana splits, once you throw some edible ears and a horn on your ice cream, it becomes almost too cute to eat. 

Speaking of too cute, the shop itself is a wonderland of pink.

Outside, the building is painted a vibrant blue, but inside is all pink, with unicorns and whimsical clouds floating on the walls.

In addition to ice cream scoops, you can also enjoy floats, shakes, sundaes, Italian coffee, and more.

Harriston is roughly 30 minutes from Elora by car.

This means, once you've had your fill of frozen goodies, you can spend the rest of your day touring Elora and pretending you’re in Europe.

It doesn't get much dreamier than that, does it?

So if you're not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, why not say hello to a magical ice cream treat instead?
