Carowinds is a thrilling amusement park found in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded by Earl Patterson Hall, Carowinds was inspired by a trip to Disneyland with a dream of unity. It sits right on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, counting as an amusement park for both states “Where the Carolinas come together.”

Opening in 1973, Carowinds is a fun-filled park with things to do for everyone. From thrilling rides, to the haunted Scarowinds, Carowinds has it all. The “Splash” consists of Carolina Harbor, Slides and Attractions, Cabanas, and the Harbor House. As for “Rides” there are Roller Coasters, Thrill Rides, Family Rides, and Kids Rides. Carowinds is opening a new Boogie Board Racer and the Grand Carnivale with incredible shows and attractions. Carowinds even hosts a new hotel as of this year, with lodging plans for everyone to stay and play longer.

Carowinds has a wide array of rides and something for everyone. The park is easy to get in an out of and has plenty of parking for anything you might drive there. The admission price is definitely fair for the size of the park and the fact that they have concerts there is an added bonus. The staff at Carowinds is super friendly and helpful with anything you bring at them.

Worth visiting if you’re in the Charlotte area. It’s right on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina. Have plenty of space for sitting in shade and when it’s too hot there is a water park with some really fast slides.
