How tall do your kid have to be to get on Carowinds rides? That depends on the ride. The height requirement is listed in the Carowinds app and on the website. If you forget, no worries, at the entrance of each ride, there is a measuring sign where any kid can walk up to and see if they are tall enough. There are plenty of rides for toddlers and kids.
