I am posting this as a mom of teenagers that like walk around by themselves. I appreciate the many different areas the park has. I enjoy walking around and seeing all the different plants, artwork, exhibits and landscaping. Whoever takes care of the plants does a wonderful job! And the variety of the various exhibits/artwork is beautiful. There is lots of seating around the park, plenty with shade. Even some rocking chairs scattered around throughout. All of the gift shops have a variety of items, they aren't all the same thing. Makes for an enjoyable experience walking around and seeing a new store to browse through. I do wish that in their app, they would clarify what restaurants/rides are closed. Two restaurants that I tried to go to were closed, although the app and Google Maps showed them as open. And a few rides that I'm excited to try have been closed each time I've visited. All in all, a nice experience, even if you are just at the park for your kids to ride the rides.
This is a really nice amusement park. The longest line we waited in was about 15 min. The roller coasters were really fun. Unfortunately the heat wore us out and after getting to be at the water park for only about 20 min we had to get out because of storms. After waiting about another 20 min we decided to get dressed and leave, just in time for the park to open back up. But at that point we were too pooped. It was a really nice park and if we lived near by we would definitely get season passes. I highly recommend visiting this amazing place.
We visited here in the evening. So the entrance admission fee was less than regular. It's the holiday season and pretty chilled at night. Part of the exciting rides were closed, but those roller coaster rides were open. Your teens still can have great exciting fun. For those young children, Snoopy Camp is a good area to impress them. There were also a lot singing/dancing shows to watch. Finally, there was a parade like Disney which brought a perfect end of night. Holiday lighting decorations here is one of the attractions for all visitors.... Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!!
Great little park, just wish there were a handful more rides. With the fast pass you can literally ride every ride multiple times. Entered the park at 10am and left at 4pm. It has some amazing rides just not a ton. Very easy to walk the entire park multiple times. They make great use of the space and the design is perfect to reach all of the rides quickly. Their food options are better than any park we have ever been to and we have been to every Florida park and Virginia park. Definitely worth the price of admission. Tip #1: if you’re arriving early 20-30 min before openingeven on a Saturday don’t bother paying for the VIP parking. There is a chic fil a here too. Need more signage for VIP parking and for exits. Three more big rides would make this park a 5 Star rating.
Best amusement park by a long shot in the area. 2 really good coasters Fury and the Intimidator and tons to do with the family. If you're at least somewhat local, the season pass is a great deal and I got a discount for being a veteran. All day meal pass is pretty cool too! They have a couple great places to eat plus some generic stuff of course. My kids LOVE the water park.
It houses the oldest wooden rollercoaster in the USA. Lots of fun. We went with our entire family. Lines move pretty fast. They have lots of safety procedures in place to keep everyone safe. Food was pretty good too. I recommend the gold pass seasonal pass with meal plan. It was well worth it. We went during carnival. The floats and music were great! It was a huge dance party by the end of the night. The even ended with fireworks. I can not wait to go back!
As Floridians used to the Orlando experience this was a fantastic time and much nicer in many ways. It didn’t have all the frills and stuff of other theme parks but stood out in sheer amounts of rides one was able to do!! Headed out having done so much over the entire park, and will definitely be back!
This was my first time here. We were on vacation and this was one of our stops. We came on a super hot day, so the water park was heavily overcrowded, and we only went in for a few minutes. The rides weren't terrible, but they could have been better. Wait times weren't great. The park says it opens at 10, but really, most of the rides don't open for another hour after that. I recommend getting the tickets that include unlimited drink refills. Plenty of places to get a refill. Lockers are expensive. I recommend getting one in the middle of the park as walking to the entrance everytime you need something is a bit tiresome. Overall, I don't regret going. Good memories with the girlfriend, and am experience with having at least once.
We bought passes this year on the payment plan. And we added the all season dining to our gold passes which gets you 2 meals a day with 4 hours in between each meal. If you have been here before then you know the food is kinda expensive so adding the all season dining pass pays for it self after 2 meals. The water park is our favorite part of the park. The lazy river is probably our favorite. The slides are fun. Still haven't had the chance to ride them all yet. The wave pool is my son's favorite. He's always in the deep end. They have new roller coaster rides. I've ridden most of them and my kids have rode them all. They love them. So if you want to plan a fun day out with your family. Go to Carowinds. There's something for everyone. Here's some pictures from the 4th of July. The fireworks were awesome.
Today and was lots of fun. North & South Carolina joined together and made carowinds . The water park was great and a very large area of slides & wave pools. We did the water park in the day time and came back later to do the roller coasters. Fun atmosphere and staff was nice and asked us did we need anything. Plenty of security around also. Sorry no water park photos
