A recent planned trip to Carowinds was ruined by the extremely poor customer service in the park. The park was dirty, poorly managed and the employees in the concession areas were extremely dumb. At one concession booth, they not only gave me incorrect change but they also incorrectly charged me and tried to talk me out of ordering food that wasn't already prepared. I watched employees throughout the day socialize with one another and ignore trash on the ground, overflowing trash cans and visitors trying to get assistance. Please do not waste your money on this park. The rides are nothing spectacular . . . you would have a much better time at the Asheboro Zoo. Address: THE ENTIRE PARKDirections: THE ENTIRE PARK

Although this park is clean and the rides are ok, I will never go back. I have been to several theme parks, but I have never been to one as crowded, or as expensive. The entry price isn't bad, but the price of EVERYTHING inside is outrageous! Worse than Disney World, worse than Cedar Point. $3.50 for a bottle of water, cost $62.00 for 4 of us to eat hot dogs (and they were the worst hot dogs I've ever had), fries and a drink. I rode a grand total of 2 rides the entire day, and you couldn't even get to Boomerang Bay, it was wall to wall people. We had a better time at the hotel, swimming in the pool. I love amusement parks, go to at least one every summer, (this was #2 this year), but this was the first and last time I will go to this one. Address: Charlotte, NC

I took the clan to Carowinds and we had a great time! We opened the park at 10am and left at closing time...8PM. There was so much to do for the little ones, and having the water park within the park is amazing. On a hot summer day, you just get wet and let nature dry you off.
We went on a Thursday and there were hardly any lines to any rides. The kids went to the Nickelodeon section and rode the rides over and over. The water was great and I loved the roller coasters for the adults.
Food is of course expensive and water was $3.75 a bottle, so bring your own in!!!! They let you bring your own food and water.
The shows were fine, but the parade was a little short (5 minutes). At least there weren't any crowds to fight. The kids got pics with all the characters, so it was great. Leave a Comment Address: On the NC/SC border off I77.
