Date Night at Scarowinds 2022

My husband and I have made it our duty to do date nights more often. This month we decided to check out Carowinds' annual event called SCarowinds! I was very interested in attending this event, it had been on my radar for years but the timing was never right.

Fast forward, my husband loves all things scary, I, not so much. So I knew this would be the perfect outing for us outside of a traditional dinner and a movie. I had no idea what to expect but I did read up on a few things to help me prepare.

• There are several haunted houses to view.

• A “no boo” necklace is available to purchase if you don’t want to get scared.

• Actors/Workers are not allowed to touch you but they can speak to scare you.

• Most rides are open.

• Not recommended for children under 13 years of age.

I loved their themed food options, it helped to tie in the spooky vibe of the season! We enjoyed wings and fries - our fave! We also brought our season pass cup, perfect if you visit multiple times throughout the year. Well worth the price. 

I haven’t been to a haunted house since high school and all I remember was it was scary. I was so nervous but I loved their rule that no one could touch you. That was my fear of being grabbed and knowing that provided me with the peace I needed to enjoy the night. 

Silver Scream Studios: Condemned was our favorite haunted house! It was the right amount of scare and fun! I highly recommend hitting this one first. 

We also opted for the Fright and Fast Passes because we wanted to enjoy our time at the park without having to wait long.
