All guests ages 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old in order to be admitted to, or remain in, the park for SCarowinds. The chaperone must present a valid government-issued photo identification with date of birth at ticket entry.
One (1) chaperone may accompany no more than 10 guests ages 15 or younger per day. In addition, the chaperone must accompany their party during entry, remain inside the park during their visit, and be available by phone throughout their stay. Guests ages 15 years old or younger who are found inside the park unaccompanied by a chaperone will be subject to ejection.
This chaperone requirement applies to all Carowinds ticket and season passholders. Parents or guardians are responsible for the behavior of their minor children.
