Things To Know

Carowinds is one of the country’s outstanding amusement and water parks on the border of North and South Carolina just off I-77. With twelve action-packed roller coasters, dozens of thrill and water adventures, and the overflowing fun of Boomerang Bay water park, this is a great vacation destination. (Boomerang Bay is open during the summer only. Free with park admission.) Fun for families from exciting attractions to thrilling special events and shows, there's something for everyone.

The night will light up with fun and excitement this summer as the "thrill capital of the Southeast” debuts an exciting nighttime lineup highlighted by the extension of its hours till 10pm every night from July 1 through August 7.

Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular, a million dollar nighttime walk-through light and sound experience featuring Snoopy and the PEANUTS™ gang will light up the skyline of Carowinds through September 4 on nights the park closes at 10pm.

Designed using a diverse mixture of low energy and high efficiency LED lighting, this immersive light and sound spectacular stretches from County Fair through the entrance of Planet Snoopy and features more than one million LED lights adorned from trees and buildings. As part of the experience, guests will get the chance to walk through several PEANUTS™ themed areas, complete with light boxes and animated displays synchronized to a custom designed soundtrack.
