VooDoo Sno — Restaurant in Columbia

My Experience at Voodoo Sno Today

I want to share something that happened to me today at Voodoo Sno. I understand this may have been an isolated experience, but it deeply hurt me, and I feel the need to speak on it.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with Voodoo Sno for years. As someone with autism, it’s a hyperfixation for me during the warm months—I look forward to it every year. Today was supposed to be my first time getting Voodoo Sno this season, and I was so excited. But instead of enjoying my favorite treat, I left feeling hurt, uncomfortable, and unwelcome.

When I arrived, my phone was dead, so I sat in my car for a few minutes to let it charge before going in to order. Within minutes, two employees came outside and started watching me.

I’m hurt. I’m sad. My day feels ruined when it was supposed to be a happy moment for me. I just wanted to share my experience. This really ruined how I view Voodoo Sno…especially since I didn’t do anything but wait for my phone to charge…so I COULD make a...

Absolutely the best place to go for an ice cold treat!! Such a huge variety of flavors, they also include sugar free flavors for diabetics and those on a diet! They keep snacks like chips, sodas, candy bars, even burgers and corn dogs. It really is the best place to stop after a day at the park and it’s cheaper than ordering from a fast food restaurant and the whole family always walks away satisfied! You can’t go to the park without stopping at VooDoo Sno, it’s become a tradition...

What can I say about voodoo sno? Great place to take kids. They love the slushy‘s especially with the spiders in the worms inside the slushy. Lots of different things to choose from slushy wise. Also, they have a cool skateboarding shop in the back where you can buy skateboards trucks, wheels, clothing, shoes,...
