SCarowinds At: Carowinds, 300 Carowinds, Blvd., Charlotte
“SCarowinds is no longer a separately gated ticketed event. If you are already at the park for our daytime Tricks and Treats and Oktoberfest activities, you can continue the fun into a frightful night without leaving the park. We recommend all guests be 13 years or older due to the nature of the event.”
Admission is $79.99 at the gate, but you can get a discount by buying tickets online. On Fridays, online tickets are $51.99 or, for military, $46.99. On Saturdays, online tickets are $59.99 at regular price, $54.99 for junior or, for military, $41.99. On Sundays, online tickets are $54.99 at regular price, $49.99 for junior or, for military, $49.99.
“Get ready for restless nights as you venture into the heart of SCarowinds, nestled along the border of North Carolina and South Carolina. A chilling curse awaits at every turn, weaving its dread through five hair-raising haunted mazes, four nerve-wracking scare zones, hundreds of monsters, thrilling night rides, and pulse-pounding live performances, including the new Wake the Dead. Hungry hordes of zombies and bloodthirsty vampires lie in wait, ready to turn unsuspecting guests into their next macabre feast. Their sinister screams echo throughout the park, an inescapable chorus of terror. And with Carowinds’ signature thrill rides cloaked in the darkness beneath the moon’s watchful eye, an unparalleled Halloween experience emerges – one that’s brimming with, dare we say, spine-tingling excitement.”
