Orlando is a magical destination year-round, and during Halloween, it’s no different, offering a variety of themed events for all ages.

On our blog, we’ve already explored the magic of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025 at Magic Kingdom and the spooky adventure of Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Studios.

Now, let’s dive into a unique and enchanting experience for kids: SeaWorld Spooktacular.

Fun for the whole family

SeaWorld Spooktacular is a daytime event filled with surprises and fun for the entire family.
Kids can participate in the traditional “trick-or-treat” along a trail decorated with charming characters. It’s the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy Halloween festivities in a safe and lively environment.

The event takes place on select dates from August 30 to November 2, 2025.
No separate ticket is needed; entry is included with the regular park admission.

Come in costume

Everyone is encouraged to dress up for the event, but it’s important to note a few rules.
Visitors aged 13 and older cannot wear masks or hoods, and costumes must adhere to the park’s dress code.
Face painting is only allowed if done by SeaWorld artists.
It’s the perfect opportunity for adults to choose that playful character to dress up as.

Must-See attractions

SeaWorld Spooktacular offers a variety of attractions that guarantee fun for everyone. Let’s check out each one:

To participate, you’ll need to purchase a reusable bag, available at several stores within SeaWorld. This activity is a fun way for kids to interact with the environment and enjoy delicious treats.

If your kids have any dietary restrictions, they can collect special tokens at each stop and later exchange them for suitable treats, such as gluten-free and lactose-free options.
