At SeaWorld Orlando, visitors also enjoy trick-or-treating and special live entertainment at the park’s Halloween Spooktacular. Fans of scary tales can stroll through Harry P. Leu Gardens, transformed into a haunted garden, and listen to frightening tales of ghouls and goblins from expert storytellers during their Ghost Stories event. The more adventurous can enjoy a Ghost Tour and explore downtown Orlando’s historic structures in search of paranormal investigative experiences.
