We love Carowinds. It's a great place to come for a day of fun. The are lots of thrill rides for the big "kids" and plenty of family rides for the "little" kids or ones who don't like coasters. Even just sitting and people watching can be fun. Be sure and buy the refillable drink bottle. It can get really hot and you will want to stay hydrated! Fortunately, there are lots of shady spaces to stop and rest, too. If you are going to stay all day, the all day meal plan is also worthwhile.
