Best TimeMonday through Thursday from May to June, and October are optimal. Weekdays successfully bypass the massive weekend crowds at the broader Carowinds amusement park. Enter right at the 10:00 AM opening and head straight to Camp Snoopy; ride wait times for the family coasters and Peanuts attractions are typically under 10 minutes.
Getting ThereLocated inside the Carowinds amusement park on the NC/SC border. Public transit is available via the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Bus Route 12 directly to the park gate. For drivers, take I-77 South to Exit 90 (Carowinds Blvd) and follow the dedicated Avenue of the Carolinas straight into the massive toll parking plaza.
Travel Tips
- This Peanuts-themed recreation zone is integrated inside Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach; off-site day visitors must secure a resort day pass to access the linked waterpark facilities.
- Water slides and interactive splash zones operate daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day, reverting to weekends-only in May and September, and fully decommissioning in colder months.
- Resort internal lanes are highly restrictive; day-pass vehicles must park exclusively in designated visitor overflow lots to avoid getting towed at owner's expense from active RV slips.
Reviews
Positive
- The Snoopy theme park is filled with childhood joy! Colorful decorations of Charlie Brown and Peanuts characters are gorgeous, making rides look whimsical.
- Perfect for shorter toddlers; the thrill level of rides is dialed in perfectly, offering high engagement where kids can run wild safely. Highly lived up.
- On-site order management is praiseworthy with scientific queue mapping. Costumed Snoopy characters are highly energetic, patiently making kids laugh for photos.
- Family amenities like nursing rooms and child-sized sinks are everywhere, with smooth stroller access park-wide, granting great convenience for parents.
Heads up
- Relative to the compact size of the park area, individual ticket prices feel very expensive, offering mediocre value, and Snoopy plush souvenirs run high premiums.
- On weekends post-11 AM, crowd density explodes, dragging out wait times for even tiny mini-coasters to over 40 minutes, degrading the fun.
- The park uses a fully open plaza layout lacking big shade umbrellas or mature trees. Under the blistering South Carolina summer sun, overheating is common.
- Snack outlets offer poor food varieties, limited to expensive, generic high-calorie burgers and fries, drawing complaints over a lack of healthy options.
