Starting this Saturday, guests looking for family-friendly fun will be in for quite the treat at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Spooktacular. This seasonal event comes with regular daytime admission.
The Spooktacular creates a world of whimsical fun. Guests enter a world of enchantment full of not-so-spooky Halloween fun. Spooktacular intends to make an immersive experience ideal for the little ones, full of eye-catching new characters, trick-or-treating, and a colorful costume parade.
According to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, this returning fan-favorite event promises to be bigger than ever. This event occurs every Saturday and Sunday from September 9 through October 29 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. each day. Two additional days of this event happen on Monday, October 30, and Tuesday, October 31, from 12:00 noon – 4:00 p.m. The event at the Festival Walkway is included with regular park admission.
Busch Gardens’ Spooktacular Events
Some of the activities for families, as well as new offerings this year, include:
- New! Kandy’s Pumpkin Palooza: Kandy’s big dream to become a witch continues. With big dreams come big spells and bigger pumpkins. This new walk-through experience is the perfect location for a family photo opportunity.
- New! Time Peace and Alfred: Pumpkins are not the only things affected by Kandy’s training sessions. A slight miscalculation of Kandy’s spells resulted in the creation of the newest long-legged members of Kandy’s world, Time Peace and Alfred.
- New! Professor Pufflemintz: This year’s Spooktacular sees the debut of Professor Pufflemintz, a science professor in charge of interactive experiments. This makes a true amalgamation of fun and learning.
- Kandy’s World: Join Kandy as she shares her journey to becoming a real witch, as well as stories of her spell training and eagerness to satisfy the sweet tooth with lots of candy.
- Spooktacular Costume Parade: A colorful parade of costumes will bring the Spooktacular Costume Parade to life. On this magical catwalk, all the guests, especially the little ones, are top models!
- Storytime with Kandy: Situated next to Kandy’s picture-perfect pumpkin patch and bubbling cauldron, guests will be immersed in the popular story “Room on a Broom,” where everybody has a place and everyone belongs.
- Trick-or-Treating: With eight trick-or-treat stations, Busch Gardens Spooktacular is the perfect location for guests to purchase a bag and partake in the sweet seasonal tradition.
