Carowinds will now be open year-round

Carowinds said expanding its calendar to year-round operation will enhance the local tourism and travel industries.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carowinds fans can now visit the amusement park year-round as the park will no longer go into hibernation after the holidays.

According to officials, the scheduling change introduces additional weekends to the calendar in January, February, and early March, with regular park operation continuing throughout the rest of the year.

The expanded operation adds select dates to the calendar in January, February, and early March, for year-round entertainment and additional value to season pass holders, the park announced.
