Are you visiting North Carolina during the heat of the summertime? It can be hard to cool off! Especially if you are exploring all that NC has to offer, such as the pristine hiking trails, biking paths, bird-watching adventures, and woodland nature viewing, you might find that exerting all this energy is making you super hot. What now?
Well, there is no better place to cool off than the Carolina Harbor Waterpark! This exciting and adrenaline-pumping amusement park features large water slides, giant wave pools, lazy rivers, kid-friendly attractions, play structures, a toddler area, and much more. You can head here with people of all ages to have a fantastic afternoon at Carowinds, Carolina’s best water park.
In the mood to challenge your friend who has a need for speed? Race your pal down the latest attraction, the Boogie Board Racer. This high-speed and thrilling ride is fun for kids and adults alike.
Slides
Not sure where to start? Check out some of these best slides and experiences that are sure to leave you wanting even more.
One of the main attractions in the park that is new and exciting for people who like heights and going upside down is Fury 325, the world’s best steel coaster! If you are solely looking for water rides, then the Barracuda Blasters is a fun, circular slide that has you race against one other person and end in a cold pool.
We also love the Coastal Currents for a family-friendly play space that brings you along the lazy river. The Hurricane Falls is the ideal ride for those who want to go as fast as they can! For parents with small toddlers, head to Kitty Hawk Cove to keep an eye on your kids, bring them to the interactive games, and watch them learn to love the water!
