I enjoy going to Carowinds except for a couple of things. Toddlers are very limited to what they can ride even with adult supervision and their are very few rides for them. So in my opinion, Carowinds is definitely not 100% family oriented more like 95% (just a guess, not an accurate percentage) And they need a 3rd entrance between the 2 existing entrances, since they don't have a tram, trolley, or shuttle bus. It can be an extremely long walk especially if it's South Carolina hot outside. It can be a miserable hike to one of the entrances. But other than that it can be pretty fun as long as it isn't crowded especially for teenagers and young adults. Even for us older adults that are young at heart...lol. if you're on a budget. Pack a cooler with food and drinks, because the food and drinks inside the park are expensive. Remember, no coolers can be taken into the park, so it might be a long walk for dinner. The ice water is free, thank you Carowinds for that. No pocket knives, weapons, or spray's can be taken into the park, so leave them in the car or home. You will be checked for them. I could go on and on but Carowinds has a website that you can check for all of the park rules, picnic shelters and such.
