Run the wheel.
Earn your snow cone.
Hamster Works is a giant wooden hamster wheel that shaves the ice while you run. Kids (and grown-ups) power their own snow cone, then pick their flavor. It's a treat and the main attraction in one.

Three steps to the coolest snow cone around
The wheel does the shaving. You're the engine.

Pick your flavor
Choose from our rainbow of syrups and pour it on. Snow cone earned.
