I got a medium snowball in the fruitasia flavor - mango & strawberry and was very impressed! The syrup was flavorful but not overly sweet. Medium was the perfect size for me and the prices are very reasonable. I believe $3, $4, and $5 for small-large. We will definitely be visiting again before our vacation is over.

We were looking for a shaved ice place in Wilmington, and found Pelican's Snoballs on Yelp. It has…read morea vaguely obscene name (lol balls), and my kids insisted that we visit it. What the heck -- let's go get some pelican snowballs. They claim to offer 100 different flavors here, and although I didn't count, I would say that might be true. There are lots of different flavors of shaved ice to choose from. This is New Orleans-style shaved ice, according to the sign outside. I don't know how this shaved ice differs from other shaved ice, but apparently, the person who started Pelican's Snoballs was from New Orleans and named the place after the Louisiana state bird. In any case, my children really enjoyed their shaved ice! We got one Unicorn, which is cotton candy flavored syrup topped with whipped cream and sparkly sprinkles. We also got a Shark Attack, which is Tiger's Blood and another flavor with shark gummies in the middle. They have some wacky concoctions here. You can take your shaved ice to go (they even have a drive-thru), or you can stay and eat at the picnic tables located outside. There is no indoor seating. When we visited, there was one person working there, so it took a little while to get our snow cones. But they were made really well and looked picture perfect, so they were obviously made with care and attention.

This is just a little roadside stand but it's making real Hawaiian shaved ice. They can do up to 4 flavors and add some condensed milk to it!
