Halloween is scary, and that’s not a bad thing…unless you’re a kid. Halloween can be terrifying for kids. Theme parks usually capitalize on the holiday, and make events geared towards adults. That’s fine, but sometimes you need a break from the chainsaws. SeaWorld Orlando is bringing back their annual Shamu Halloween Spooktacular this October, and it’s a lot of spooky fun for the entire family.
This year, Spooktacular returns on October 3rd, and runs every weekend from noon until 7p.m. until Halloween!
