Halloween Fun in Orlando for All Ages

Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld® Orlando (Select Nights, Sept. 9 – Oct. 31, 2022)

After a successful “inaugural fear,” Howl-O-Scream resurfaces at SeaWorld® Orlando — and you will have nowhere to hide. This year also promises to be bigger than ever with more pulse-pounding, sweat-inducing haunts, thrills and chills.

Evade angry haunts as they rampage through scare zones. Seek shelter indoors, only to find you’ve entered a house of horrors. Deepen the thrill with nighttime coaster rides. Quench your thirst for fear at a fiendishly interactive bar. And feel the monstrous electricity of three live shows.

Evil returns — with a howl and a scream. Experience 28 nights of fully immersive fear during this specially ticketed event, only at SeaWorld Orlando.

Please note: Howl-O-Scream is intended for a mature audience. This event contains intense adult content such as violence, gore and blood. No costumes are allowed.
