More Halloween Treats for the Family - Sea World Spooktacular

Dawn Nikithser August 24, 2012 0

SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular is considered "the ultimate family-friendly event" with good reason. This annual event is open every weekend in October (though, oddly, not on Halloween itself) and features trick-or-treating, dancing in the street with costumed characters (in some of the most beautiful costumes of any theme park, at any time of year), special "spooky" shows, and a complimentary arts and crafts area.

The event runs during daylight hours (noon to 8 p.m.) at Sea World Orlando, so even the youngest visitors can take part in the fun without falling asleep in the middle of it all. There is even a dance party zone, complete with DJ. And it's all included in your Sea World Orlando admission price (completely unlike Disney and Universal's Halloween offerings).

For families on a vacation budget, this alone makes Spooktacular stand well above other area options. For those with a little more to spend, the daytime fun makes it very easy to hit one of the other Halloween park options after dark. Really, if you're going to Sea World Orlando on an October weekend, there's just no reason to miss it.

Costumes are encouraged for children. Adults can be a little hit or miss; I suggest calling Sea World to make sure it's ok. You can reach them at 1-888-800-5447.

Sea World Spooktacular dates announced

Dawn Nikithser September 08, 2010 0

We've already talked about Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights -- now, Sea World Orlando checks in with their autumn event, the Halloween Spooktacular. And unlike the other two, this one is included with park admission, making it the theme park Halloween bargain that can't be beat.

Spooktacular is kid-friendly and kid-focused. Children are encouraged to wear costumes as they "trick-or-treat for ghoulish goodies, meet amazing sea creatures, catch silly spooky shows, and more." Events this year include the CountDown to Halloween stage show (featuring Count von Count, Elmo, and other Sesame Street® favorites; The Frozen Fun Zone featuring an interactive "Ice DJ" plus interactive games and activities; special Spooktacular costumed characters including "fun-loving sea witches" and 35 other creatures who will wander and mingle with park guests; and the special trick-or-treat treasure hunt. Kids and their families can go on the sweets hunt by following special Spooktacular maps to locations throughout the park, with special treats waiting at each find.

Spooktacular is a great way for families to get Halloween fun without spending extra money. If older kids and teens find some of the events childish, send them over to the thrill rides and shark exhibit for their own brand of screams and scares.

But don’t worry, there is still plenty of Halloween fun the entire family can have at the parks and your Halloween doesn’t have to be scary at all. For a bit of a twist, how about spending your Halloween under the sea? SeaWorld Orlando plans to do just that with SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular.

The entire SeaWorld Orlando theme park will be converted into a Halloween paradise fit for the entire family.

You might want to save up for some of the cute SeaWorld merchandise available inside.

There are a number of great activities at this fun-filled event. There will be 15 different treasure stations where you can trick or treat for some great candy. Around 35 great costumed characters like Gummy Worm Wanda, Salt Water Taffy and Swedish Fish Suzy will be wandering around the park for some tricky fun.
