Carowinds’ Carolina Harbor brings all the wonderful fun and excitement of the Atlantic Ocean to the inland with its ginormous-in-size, ginormous-in-fun Tidal Wave Bay. Holding 400,000 gallons of water, this state-of-the-art wave pool has enough room for everyone in the family to spread their flippers and catch some awesome waves. You’re in for a great time. Little rafters can take it easy in the zero-drop entrance of the pool, where waves are mere ripples, but still loads of fun. What’s more, Tidal Wave Bay is surrounded by lounge chairs and cabanas, so chilling out by the pool is always an option. Whatever your need for fun in the Carolina sun, Tidal Wave Bay has you covered.
