Gatorland®, the “Alligator Capital of the World™,” is bringing back its popular Gators, Ghosts and Goblins™ Halloween event for a fifth year in a row of family fun and fright done right! The all-ages, daytime, family-friendly event takes place over three weekends in October, from Oct. 14 through 29, 2023.
Graham Hennessy (Country Manager Ireland, Do Something Different) explained “Do Something Different is delighted to have the Gators Ghost & Goblins Halloween event included in our standard admission tickets again for 2023. Irish families love Halloween and nobody does Halloween better than in the USA.”
Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum
“Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum” returns with an all-new exhibit. Encounter spectres, goblins and more as you learn about the origins of everyone’s favourite haunted holiday. Explore new haunt-zones like “The Creepy Creature Carnival,” where famous monsters moonlight as midway attractions and the “Frightful Frontier,” an Old West Town populated with cursed cowboys. Then hop aboard the Cryptid Express, where you can seek out hidden beasties like the Florida Skunk Ape, Moth Man, Chupacabra and more. All this, plus interactive characters, animal meet-and-greets, and a Children’s Halloween Costume Parade with treat bags for all participating kids. There are also fun shows, a variety of vendors games, candy giveaways and more.
“We love Halloween time at Gatorland and our entire staff works incredibly hard to put on this frightfully fun event for all our guests,” says Mark McHugh, President and CEO of Gatorland. “You won’t find another Halloween experience that is anything like ours.”
All-Ages, Daytime Event Included with Park Admission
Halloween fun is for everyone at this all-ages, daytime event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., included with park admission. Guests are welcome to wear costumes. But nothing scary or gory, please. Skunk Ape is easily frightened, seriously.
