Trick-Or-Treat

Let your little ones trick-or-treat to their hearts’ content in the safety of our park. We can’t wait to see their new costumes this year, though we ask that only kids under 10 wear masks. And no tricks here, the treats are on us – and included with your admission.
Sesame Street Halloween Parade

Catch your favorite Sesame Street friends for some Halloween fun at the Sesame Street^® Halloween Parade. This colorful, musical, and show-stopping parade marches through SeaWorld on weekends at 1:30 pm.
Fall Festival at The Waterfront

Celebrate the arrival of fall as you take in beautiful views of Mission Bay. Pull up a hay bale, take a seat and enjoy a beer, cider, and everything pumpkin spice. Find out your future from Madame Lizalot or get some Halloween decorating advice from the Pumpkin Princess as she tends to the many pumpkins that dot the shoreline.

Kids will be happy to get lost as they traverse the Spooktacular Hay Maze, while adults can watch from around the perimeter. The friendly scarecrow Gourdy will be there to point them in the right direction.

The whole family will have fun searching for animal pumpkins throughout the park! Purchase a map and when you have found all of them, redeem for an exclusive pin.

Clyde and Seamore's Big Halloween Bash

Our comical California sea lion duo Clyde and Seamore are fan favorites for lots of reasons – but mostly because they’re just so darn fun. Catch their special Clyde & Seamore’s Big Halloween Bash, joined by their pal, OP Otter, for this limited engagement.

Decorations Throughout the Park

Is it the tricks? Nope. The treats? Still no. (Okay maybe.) What we love most about our Halloween Spooktacular is decorating the park to create an immersive family celebration. Get into the Halloween spirit – and maybe even bring home some fun decorating ideas.

Trick-Or-Treat Bags

Please join us in our efforts to protect our seas by bringing a reusable bag or Halloween bucket from home for treats. You can also pick up a reusable bag at the park (see image) for as little as $1.99 at any park gift shop. When you do, 5% of each bag purchase will go directly to the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund. Please do not bring plastic bags for trick-or-treating and team with us to protect animals and the environment.
