Two theme parks run Halloween around here. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida is the giant, with 10 haunted houses, scare zones and live shows, and it's listed as 13+. Multi-night passes start at $229.99 plus tax. Get the Universal app before you go, since it shows wait times. Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2026 at SeaWorld is the other one: five haunted houses, six scare zones and big coasters like Mako running in the dark.

The weird one is The Terror 2 at Boggy Creek in Kissimmee. You take a 30-minute airboat ride at night, then board a haunted military transport and walk an infected trail. Yes, an airboat. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your tour time. For something smaller and outdoors, A Petrified Forest Scream Park in Altamonte Springs runs three trails at about 10 minutes each. Got kids along? The downtown ghost walk is family-friendly and about an hour.
