Popular daytime Halloween celebration returns with enhanced health and safety measures to keep guests safe, weekends September 19 – November 1

 

ORLANDO, Fla. (September 14, 2020) – Halloween fun returns to SeaWorld Orlando this fall with the start of Spooktacular on September 19. At this special event, modified to allow guests to safely visit the park with limited capacity, children can dress in their Halloween costumes and take part in fun-filled trick-or-treating around SeaWorld’s expansive grounds with physical distancing in mind.

 

In addition to enhancing the park’s already strict health and safety measures, capacity will be significantly limited to create even more open space for a visit that provides ample opportunity to maintain social distancing. The daytime Halloween fun takes place every Saturday and Sunday starting September 19 through November 1, 2020 and is included with park admission.

 

Halloween Spooktacular Highlights:

 

  • New! Halloween Maze: Twist and turn your way through our silly Halloween maze that’s tons of fun for younger and older guests alike! Capacity will be limited to promote social distancing.

  • Trick-or-Treat Trail: Costumed youngsters can trick-or-treat for ghoulish goodies all while maintaining safe physical distancing. Each trick-or-treat station features an assortment of candy favorites. As an additional Safety measure we ask that all guests participating in our Trick or Treat Trail purchase a new reusable bag in order to prevent contact between individuals.

 

Upgrades to Your Spooktacular Day at SeaWorld:

  • New! Cookie Decorating with Cookie Monster:  “C” is for cookie when you join Cookie Monster to decorate his favorite snack! This fun-filled family experience features physically distanced photo opportunities and new measures to keep the cookie decorating safe and fun, including single-party tables with ample spacing and enhanced cleaning procedures.

  • Count von Count’s Spooktacular Breakfast: What goes great with your morning eggs? How about meeting Count von Count, Elmo, and their Sesame Street friends? Count von Count’s Spooktacular Breakfast combines a delicious meal with exciting (but physically distanced) character appearances. With protective food service barriers, widely spaced single-party tables, sanitization between meals and more, you can “count” on a safe, fun time for the whole family!
