Fast and good service!! You can't go wrong with a good snowball!? I love this place? read more

Pelicans is a classic! Such a great place to stop for a quick sweet treat on a hot day. They have so many different flavors and combinations to choose from. They have plenty of covered seating. I will say there were some pesky yellow jackets hanging around while we were there but I think that just comes with the sticky-territory. read more

Two very attractive young gentlemen were very helpful today when I stopped by with my two granddaughters. They were very kind and made great suggestions for me and the little ones. I am 63 and now a-days its so hard to find young men with the kindness and may I say handsomeness of the two gentlemen today. You've got a 5 star from me ! read more

Pelican's Snoballs - My granddaughter loving her snowcone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Love the snow cones and the ice cream here. Will usually get the mango and peach snow cones, and always great. People are always friendly. Great spot when weather is nice to play their mini golf. read more

Pelican's is a great little spot to grab a shaved ice. I am warning you now, get a small and ask for an extra cup....They like to pack on that ice :) They have over 100 flavors, as well as numerous toppings to add like whip cream or nerds candy. Do not know what to try? I suggest the Butterfly Kiss flavor which was a mixture of Birthday Cake and Cotton Candy topped off with a yummy butterfly gummie! This will become a regular spot during those hot summer days!!! read more

Pelican's Snoballs - Cotton Candy Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Shaved ice with artificial syrup that comes in 100 flavors! There wasn't anything special about it but a fun process to mix the flavors. I would recommend eating it on the spot. If you bring it home and freeze it for later, it becomes an ice cube. read more

Pelican's Snoballs - Good stuff! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Mostly just ice not enough juice . I definitely had far better . I remember the good old days when a snow cone was the best treat lol

YESSSSSS. Can you marry shaved ice ? If not legalize it. I stopped by here on the way back from applying for my passport in angier. The kid size is HUGE. And only $2. And they take cards. And they are open year round. And they have sooooo many flavored. And the ice is the most amazing texture ever. I had a cherry margarita. One word. YUM! I could go on and on. Sometimes I dream of eating Pelicans for breakfast , lunch , and dinner. read more

I've been going to this location for years now. The service is always amazing the staff is always so sweet. It always tastes amazing! The vibe is very relaxed they have a playground for the kids and little fun activities for both kids and teens. read more

Staff is always so nice and accommodating. Really good as well. Its always cheaper to buy the Pelican Bucks to pay for your order, especially if you're planning on coming again read more

I love Pelicans. I lived in New Orleans and I loved snowballs. My husband have been regulars for a couple of years. This is a nice summer treat. Plus they have mini golf, corn hole, and a playground. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff but no where as good as the Apex location. Here we ran out of syrup believe it or not. Our ice was white in some spots. Very disappointing for the grown ups but the kids didn't care, it was dark anyway. Apex was the reason why we stopped here. read more

I am addicted to these things. My absolute favorite is Sour Tsunami. Highly recommend giving these a go. My favorite shaved ice ever.

Best snowballs!!! Love the flavor choices. Only complaint is sometimes there are not many seats left and you have to go back to your car to enjoy. I could eat one every day! read more

You know how on some of those hot, humid Carolina summer days, all you want to do is sit down and give up on life? Well, now you can hop on over to Pelican's to cool down with some shaved ice instead (of resorting to death). This is a very bare-bones joint where you can get quality shaved cream - shaved ice + liquid ice cream - in an assortment of flavors. The ice is very fluffy. Awesome. If you are greedy, they have this avalanche size that is bigger than the size of an average large head. P.S. Pelican's has this flavor challenge where you can win a holy grail t-shirt if you try 100 flavors within one snow cone season. I may or may not have added that to my bucket list. read more

There is nothing better on a blistering hot North Carolina summer day than a Pelican Snoball. The soft, flaky ice drenched with one of over 100 unique flavors is absolute bliss and offers a whole body cool-down in less than 2 seconds! The price is right: a medium snoball in a big ol' styrafoam cup is only two bucks. The location is great for Garner residents: just a few miles down 401! And you might find yourself inclined to putt around a few golf balls at 401 Par Golf while you're there. Kids can enter a contest to try all 100 flavors for a special t-shirt. Just ask at the window: they'll write up a special sheet that can be crossed off every time you visit. You can also get twenty-five $1.00 Pelican Snoballs coins for $20... perfect for the frequent snoballer. Did I mention the fun flavors? Try the Dill Pickle: sort of sour/sweet/salty - delish! Others? Wedding Cake, Mojito, Fruity Pebbles, Peanut Butter and Toothpaste (yes, seriously!) Additionally, Pelican's is available for events and frequently shows up at my daughter's school and other kids summertime happenings. Two thumbs up for Pelican Snoballs! read more

Pelican's Snoballs - White picket fence leading to Snoballs! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

It's crack in a cup!! :-) jk But it is so addicting!! Go once, then go ahead and commit with the pelican bucks, because you will be back. ($20 = get 25 pelican bucks) The shaved ice is so fine. They are not stingy, AT ALL, with the syrup. There are well over 100 flavors, or just make one up. Served in a cup...suggest asking for it "to go", as they put it in the next cup size up (so as not to spill). Open daily approx 12-10pm, closed Halloween - April 1. I just can't say enough. Owner and staff super nice. I've never seen them customer-free. We went twice today...does that solidify the 5 stars? :-) $1.50 small, $2.00 med, etc.. read more

This past weekend was the first REALLY hot weekend of the year and, as I was driving around sweating, no no, glistening, my butt off it seemed like a sign from the heavens - the clouds parted and the sun shone down on none other than Pelican's. If you find yourself in the neck of the woods of Pelican's you MUST stop in. Beware though...at 100 flavors for just snowballs alone it'll be hard to choose! I think I stood in front of the menu board for a good 10 minutes, and not just because the place was PACKED on a steamy 90-some degree day. I ended up picking guava...mmm, guava...and ordered a large mostly because I was so thirsty I thought my throat might dry out just standing there. Come hungry if you're ordering the large or anything bigger than that (yes, there's bigger than large!)...I finished my large guava snowball dream-in-a-cup and was immensely, if not slightly uncomfortably full after wards! If snowballs weren't fun enough for the kids, Pelican's is located at a mini-golf place and offer flavors like "Spongebob Square Pants" and "Shrek"...sure to make your kids squee with delight! read more

It's summertime and you know what that means! Time for all the tasty, frozen, seasonal treats you can get without outgrowing your swimsuit! As a parent I find that summertime is even more fun because kids NEVER turn down an ice cream cone, slushie, popsicle, or snow cone because they're "too full", it's "too sweet", or they're "on a diet". Now I know the real reason it's so hard to lose those last 5 pounds of "baby weight"- my kids are 5 and 6, by the way. Pelican's is amazing. The little storefront is exactly what you would expect for what's basically an oversized snow-cone stand. What you might not expect, and what sets Pelican's apart, are two things. First is the selection of sizes. Ever been to a stand where the options are "small" and "tiny"?! Pelican's says HELL NO! We will give you small, medium, large, and HUGE! (Ok, "extra large" or whatever. But trust me, it's huge.) The second thing that makes Pelican's great is the variety of flavors! No more of this "red, blue, or green" junk! I'm not sure how often they switch up the flavors they offer, but there are just so many to choose from that you don't care because it would be nearly impossible to try them all and not want some repeat performances. Classics like strawberry and cherry are available but there are some more adventurous bets, like exotic fruits, combinations, and "sour" options. They also have ice cream but I always end up getting a snow cone, you can buy ice cream year-round but how many snow cone shops do you find in December? We stopped here most recently after my son's baseball game and I have to say, winning a baseball game and a "snowball" from Pelican's probably comprises just about the perfect summer weekend day! read more

Pelican's is my favorite place to grab something sweet in the summertime! I love, love this place and the service is always GREAT! Over a hundred flavors of syrup! yum read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Pelican's snowballs. We all remember the traditional snow Cone experience with the rock hard ice and just enough flavoring to make you believe your not just paying for an ice cube. Pelican's had very soft and flavorful concoctions with over a hundred flavors to choose from. The Carolina Hurricane was my selection and it did not disappoint, unlike the team a lot of times. The staff was very friendly and courteous. They cater to kids and "big" kids alike. I definitely recommend for an afternoon cool down. For the competitors out there they also offer a 101 flavor challenge. A lot of money for a t-shirt and bragging rights, but hey, at least its good. read more

Went here the other day. Phenomenal! I haven't experienced a "SnoBall" very often, I guess it is the same thing as shaved ice, but this was fantastic. It looks like a home grown business that would be great for the family as the prices are low and they have a mini golf place. I got the sour apple, delicious! BTW the portions are HUGE, so tasty, they are only open from like April through September or something though. read more

They've got a size and flavor for everyone! Friendly staff & always clean! They have plentiful outdoor seating with shaded areas! They even have smaller tables for the kiddos. read more

Perfect for a hot summer day, these deliciously refreshing snowballs are a huge upgrade from the snow cones I remember enjoying as a kid. The ice is soft and flaky and the flavor options are vast and numerous. Not to mention the fact that they are very affordable at $2 for a medium snowball, its a perfect place to take the kids for a nice summer treat. Also, if you like their page on Facebook, you can get a free medium snowball (though you have to wait about 24hrs after you like them to claim the treat). read more

Cheap as heck($2-$6) , quick and professional service from teenagers, over 100 choices, kid friendly (toys, park, mini golf, kid friend posters and decoration), adult friendly (mini golf, cornhole, music, cheap) and lots of seating outside (all outside, none inside). No matter the choice, you can't go wrong. I always get the kiddy size for $2 but it's huge! read more

Pelican's Snoballs - Kiddy size ($2) - tropical punch and POG - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Went on a Tuesday to the mini golf area. It was empty and getting set up took under a minute. That was nice. However, this is the saddest "mini golf" course in the world! There's zero shade, and it's all set up in maybe 50 square feet. You can play through the "hole" thing in 15 minutes or less. Not to mention, the 2 obstacles they did have on holes were covered in rust and dirt. Feeling bad for our son, we sent him to the children's playground a few feet away. It also has zero shade, so he quickly began screaming that everything was hot and burning him. I walked through and realized that the gate was wide open on the other side, directing children to a parking lot and HIGHWAY. We went and got our snow cones, which were fine, and service was fast here too. The snow cones themselves were... well, syrupy ice. But that's not exactly unique to this place. I wouldn't be back here. It seems to pretty much just be a driving range and the rest is an afterthought. read more

I have never been a snow cone fan but I love these snowballs. The ice/syrup mix is just right. And they even have sugar free flavors. My daughter got an ice cream stuffed one, which she said was delicious. This place is definitely worth a stop and it won't break the bank. read more

We love the variety of snowballs offered. It's totally an experience we enjoy every time we visit.

this place has so many flavor's it ridiculous. i grew up with this summer time secrete spot ,well not so secrete to the locals around here but still not many people know about this little slice of childhood nostalgia. Grab your "A" game off the shelf and crush some friends at mini golf while your there. read more

This stuff is so good. Quite a variety of flavors. Not chunky pieces like most snowcones, really fine ice and easy to eat.

Best Snowballs around!! Always friendly and super cheap for a delicious and soft snowball! I bring the kids I nanny here all the time for a fun treat or a pit stop after the lake! Never been disappointed! read more

This was one of the first places we frequented when we moved here last summer and it is a super happy place with yummy "snow cone" desserts and delicious ice cream. Can't wait for it to open again for the summer! read more

Best snow cones in the world! HUGE list of flavores included dill pickle... Get the stuffed snow cones. Can't wait to go back!

I went to Pelican's for the first time over the weekend and will definitely be back. Service was quick and friendly, and the prices are great. I would actually rather have a snoball than a cup of ice cream any day. Lots of flavors too. read more
