Description

There's no way you can get bored at the 105 acre Carowinds, whatever age group you belong to. This amusement park has it all, from 60 rides like Nickelodeon Central and Vortex, to events and live shows. Also part of the Carowinds is the Boomerang Bay Waterpark Resort and the famous "Scarowinds" event. Accommodation is not a problem either, as you and your family can just camp out in the fully equipped 25 acre Camp Wilderness Resort. Spend a day of absolute fun, frolic, thrills and maybe even some chills!
