Charlotte, N.C. (May 24, 2024)—Make a splash at Carolina Harbor Waterpark as it reopens this Saturday, May 25. Combining the allure of the Carolina coast with the exhilarating thrills of Carowinds, Carolina Harbor Waterpark promises an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.
Carolina Harbor Waterpark features 13 different attractions, including 33 slides and experiences. The water park, over 26 acres, offers attractions for families and thrill-seekers. Seek an adrenaline rush on Boogie Board Racer, the Southeast's longest mat-racing water slide, or unwind in a resort-style cabana overlooking the waves of Surf Club Harbor, one of two wave pools at Carolina Harbor Waterpark. Also, Surf Club Loungers are available for purchase and include two reserved shaded chaise lounge chairs at Surf Club Harbor.
For younger guests, the water park features a three-acre children's area with large play structures and interactive water jets. Complimentary life jackets are available throughout the park for safety.
In 2024, Carowinds will unveil two new additions to enhance the overall guest experience at Carolina Harbor Waterpark.
Keeping Guests Cool: Concrete Upgrades
The Carolinas are no stranger to summer heat. Three high-traffic walkways have been resurfaced with "cool deck" technology to provide a more comfortable walking experience.
