Carowinds

Went for Winter Fest to celebrate New Year's Eve with family. Enjoyed the festive mood, decorations, hot cocoa, and variety of warm beverages. Riding the attractions that were open was fun!

Winterfest (New Years Eve celebration) was great! Our family had an amazing time. There were lots of people, but lines were not long for the rides that were open, and hot chocolate and cider were amazing and kept you warm. We enjoyed the rides, the food, the parade, and the live bands! (No issues, and it appeared that everyone was having a good time)

We have season passes, so being able to enjoy a year-round experience is always fun for our family. You can't go wrong buying a season pass if you live in the area.

Great way to end 2023!🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

We went for Winter Fest. The park was decorated nicely and I absolutely loved the parade. There were people walking around in costumes of Christmas old. There were performances throughout the park and the times and locations were posted in several locations. We didn't ride while we were there...we just enjoyed the festivities.

Definitely a fun place for the entire family! Lots of different ride options! The seasonal activities like the Great Pumpkin Fest, SCarowinds and Winter Fest are neat! I like how the park is decorated for these events! If you think you might want to go more than twice, definitely get a gold pass! The drink pass add-on is also soooo worth it!

Amazing amusement park! Very clean and well kept, staff that we interacted with were all very friendly and helpful. Beautiful decorations for their winter festivities and so many fun things for kids and kids at heart! Everything was easily found and we found the app to be helpful finding locations around the park. Handicap accessible areas and restrooms available.

Fantastic Park. Very clean, and super clean restrooms (which is an oddity). I will note that the food is good all around. They have a lot of GREAT roller coasters. The Fury is wild!

We have been here 2 times and have had a blast. We had a minor issue with our Fast Pass but Shane in Guest Services was awesome and took care of us.

We will be back soon!

Every single year events like Christmas and Halloween, they have something special for it. Been here over 20 times and every time I come here, I feel like its my first time. Very lovely employees and they take safety seriously. So you can send your kids with peace of mind

I came down to experience winterfest here. I also came to ride fury 325. The park was well decorated. I can't imagine all the effort that goes into making a park look so good like this. Well I rode fury 325 eight times. I rode copperhead strike once. That's pretty much what I came for and I was very happy and had a great time.

We did Scarowinds. Had great time. Lines are shorter and much cooler at night. Five different haunted houses and tons of Halloween themed decorations, games and rides. Beware of the men holding chainsaws!

If you have never been on it, I highly recommend the fury 365, by far THE best coaster I've ever been on. We went during winter fest and had a blast, scarowinds was great too. If you live in the surrounding area a gold season pass is a must have, free parking and the pass pays for itself if you go just 3 times in the year but feel free to go every weekend more often. The gold pass gets you into scarowinds and into fall fest.

Lovely day. Not super packed. The rollercoasters are mind blowing. The staff is not excited but they’re a bunch of college kids in the sun, I don’t blame them. Great experience overall.

Had an absolute blast! Brought my daughter here for her birthday. We had the most amazing fun on the roller coaster. We went on Labor Day weekend so as you can imagine it was pretty packed, we got the fast lane bands that way we didn’t have to wait in line forever and could ride the roller coaster over and over and not have to wait in a huge line. I’d say they are well worth the money if you love going on roller coasters but hate the lines. Definitely a must do with the family! Oh and by the way the entire park is cash free. So have to use card only, which wasn’t an issue I just didn’t know initially and had brought cash with me to go to the park.

My job had a day event at Carowinds. I never gone be for the rides are great. Having fun with the games. The food is good. Lots of great things to buy at the novelty shops! Great place to take the family and enjoys

Carowinds is a world-class amusement park, and has some of the best rollercoasters on the eastern seaboard. They also have an amazing Halloween month, with scary characters roaming the park (you can buy a lighted lanyard that lets the actors know not to jumpscare you). We live close by and get season passes (including dining passes, which are WELL WORTH IT if you visit the park more than twice in a season). It's a great park for the whole family.

I really enjoyed the time I had their. If you like rides you will love this place. Also if you think about buying Sarowinds tickets buy them because it is worth it. They have fun little mazes and the decorations are so good.

We like going to walk the park and enjoy the outdoors. Plenty of rides depending on what you are looking for. Scarowinds and Winterfest are fun as well. We ended up buying season passes that end up paying for themselves after 3 trips I think. Easy in and out if you know your way around the property.

My family and I love coming here. We get Gold passes every year so we can go to Scarowinds and WinterFest. It is crowded so I suggest taking a picture of your child with what they are wearing that day incase you might get separated, especially if you have a runner, and I always put my phone number in my kids bag just to make sure.

Carowinds is always fun. This was our first time going during the holiday season. The park offered a lot of activities such as ice skating, smores kit, arts and crafts for kids.

First trip to Carowinds, love how the park transformed into scarowinds at night. The parades were very well coordinated, the rides were fun and the park was well maintained. We purchased the gold passes and will be going back in the future!

It's a great time! Especially when open late and it's not cruelly hot outside 😂
