Below are the Sno-ball stands that I visited... all in one day! However, I wouldn't recommend doing the same.
I may or may have not been delirious after the last stop #SugarOverload
1. Pandora's SnoBalls
901 N Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119
This location is very close to city park so make sure to grab a cool snack before hanging out in the sun! Pandora's also pointed out that they make their own ice!
Most popular: Stuffed Strawberry, Ice Cream, Wedding Cake, Sky Blue Cream and Orchid Vanilla Cream.
Flavor Count: Over 130
Price Range: $1.75-$10.00 for a bucket (+ price of add ons)
2. Red Rooster Snoballs
2801 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70113
This stand opened in 1977 originally as a seasonal snoball stand like most of its competitors. Over the years they evolved to a restaurant that serves snoballs along with a full food menu. Talk about rounding out your meal. If you're looking for some good cooking with your dessert this may be the stand for you to visit. They also have outdoor covered seating for those who want to stick around to eat.
Most popular: Tigers Blood, Strawberry, Wild Cherry, Cotton Candy and Ice Cream
Flavor Count: 45
Price Range: $1.50-$3.00 (+ price of add ons)
3. SnoWizard Snoball Shoppe
4001 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70115
This spot is a wiz when it comes to snoballs as they have been open since 1936 but also invented their very own shaved ice machine that many snoball stands around the world purchase to run their business with. Along with experience comes quality. The ice was super soft and consistent here and didn't melt fast.

This spot can be found in Uptown New Orleans blending in with the neighborhood and usually has a relaxed crowd hanging out front.

This snoball stand actually has two locations, one in New Orleans and one in Metairie. They both have an indoor space to accommodate for those rainy days. However the uptown location is smaller. SNO-LA is also open year round to serve up their super unique snoballs.
