Sea World Halloween Spooktacular

Halloween meets the sea this October during SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular. An underwater “fantasea” comes alive as youngsters trick-or-treat among friendly sea witches, octopuses, mermaids, pumpkin fish and more.
Children can dress-up in their favorite costume and play with sea fairies, learn from a ‘school’ of fish or dance with an ice witch. The park’s sea lions and otters get into the Halloween spirit with special themed shows. SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular takes place Oct. 7-8, 13–15, 21-22, 28-29 and 31, and is included in park admission. The event begins each day at 11 a.m.


Spooktacular Highlights Include:

Trick-or-Treat Sea Sweets - SeaWorld offers children the ultimate in safe and exciting trick-or-treat fun. Kids can follow their SeaWorld maps to 15 different treasure stations throughout the park, each featuring treats galore.



Clyde and Seamore’s Ghostly Pirate Cruise - SeaWorld’s classic comedy duo Clyde and Seamore set sail this Halloween on the ultimate comedy adventure. Those loveable sea lions might have bitten off more than they can chew when ghosts and ghouls join forces with boisterous buccaneers to shake up the show. Audiences are invited to embark on this un-boo-lievable voyage into mystery, comedy, and haunted Halloween fun.


Professor Krunchley’s Ooey Gooey Candy Spooktacular – Kids discover the secret to Professor Krunchly’s Ooey Gooey Salt Water Taffy during this special show featuring costumed Shamu and his crew.

Frozen Fun Zone – A “Spooktacular” celebration breaks out in this fun-filled area as an ice witch, roller skating break dancers and a live DJ host interactive games and activities.

Strolling Entertainment - Fun loving sea witches Gummy Worm Wanda, Salt Water Taffy, and Swedish Fish Suzy, along with 35 other fanciful sea creatures, greet, mingle and play with guests making their way through the park.
