Halloween Spooktacular at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's daytime Halloween event is made for little ones. Kandy, a 9½-year-old witch-in-training, and her friends host trick-or-treat stations with a 2026 Halloween bag, Kit & Kat's Black Cat Dance Party, science experiments with Professor Pufflemintz, a Room on the Broom storytime by the pumpkin patch and the new Mr. Skelly, a not-so-spooky skeleton violinist. It runs Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 1, noon to 4 p.m., and is included with park admission; kids 13 and younger can come in costume. On the same weekends, Sesame Street Safari of Fun has its own not-too-spooky Halloween with Sesame Street friends in costume, shows and a scavenger hunt.
