Carowinds is now offering a free Pre-K pass for kids age 3-5. You just need to register online, and your child can visit Carowinds for free though the whole 2023 season.
Kids with a Pre-K pass can enjoy unlimited visits to Carowinds and Carolina Harbor Waterpark.
Your child just has to be 3, 4, or 5 years old when you sign him or her up. If your child turns 6 before the end of the 2021 season, the pass is still good.
