Don’t be afraid to have a little fun in the hugely popular Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum where Cyrus the Gravedigger is dying to teach you macabre facts about the paranormal. Meet Gatorland’s own Florida Bigfoot, Skunk Ape, at the Cryptid Petting Zoo, then hop aboard the Cryptid Express where you can seek out hidden beasties like Moth Man, Chupacabra, Jersey Devil and more!  And don’t miss meeting some Gargantuan Gourds as pumpkin monsters take over the brand-new Godwin’s Gourd farm.

All this, plus animal meet and greets, photo ops, and a Children’s Halloween Costume Parade with treat bags for all kids who participate.  There are also fun shows, Live DJ, a variety of specialty vendors, games, candy giveaways and more.  Absolutely, the best Halloween value in Central Florida.

“Everyone knows we just 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 simply won’t find another Halloween experience that is anything like ours.”

Halloween fun is for everyone at this all-ages event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guests are welcome to wear costumes.  But nothing scary or gory, please.  Skunk Ape is easily frightened, seriously. A special area in the Gatorland Gift Shop will feature exclusive Gators, Ghosts and Goblins Halloween Event T-shirts, purses, stickers and magnets.

Other iconic experiences you can only find at Gatorland include the Historic Gator Mouth Entrance for that one-of-a-kind selfie, the Gator Jumparoo Show, Adventure Hour Giant Alligator Feeding, Screamin’ Gator Zipline zooming over alligators and crocodiles – voted Best Zipline in the USA by AOL Travel, Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure, White Gator Marsh with albino and rare leucistic alligators, Baby Gator Marsh, Alligator Breeding Marsh Observation Tower, and Capybara Encounter on Flamingo Island.

Gatorland combines Old Florida charm with exciting experiences, exhibits, and entertainment. Originally opened as a roadside attraction in 1949, the park is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. Today the iconic park provides affordably priced family fun featuring thousands of alligators and crocodiles, breeding marsh with observation tower, popular capybara encounter, free-flight aviary, nature walk, petting zoo, educational wildlife programs, award-winning gift shop, Florida’s best train ride, Gator Gully Splash Park, on-site restaurant, and one-of-a-kind shows including Gator Jumparoo, Alligators-Legends of the Swamp, and Up-close Encounters. Popular adventure experiences inside the park include the Screamin’ Gator Zipline, Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure, and the new Croc Rock Three-In-One Adventure.

The 125-acre award winning theme park has been voted by Orlando Weekly readers the Best Attraction That’s Not a Theme Park every year for the past 8 years since 2016, Best Wildlife Preserve 2023 by Orlando Style Magazine, and Best Hidden Gem 2023 by Watermark Magazine.
