SeaWorld Spooktacular starts Oct. 4

From pumpkin fishes to friendly sea witches, Halloween meets the sea this October during SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular. Children will be able to dance with an ice DJ, learn from a school of fish, and play with a sea fairy. Offering more than two-million pieces of trick-or-treat sweets, the Spooktacular will bring children’s “fantaseas” to life with enchanted pathways and charming sea creatures, providing family-friendly trick-or-treating.

One of Sesame Street’s favorite residents, The Count, along with his friends from Sesame Street even gets into the Halloween spirit, with Count Von Count’s Spooktacular character breakfast. Little ones will sing, groove and mingle side-by-side with Sesame Street characters, while listening to Halloween-themed music and enjoying a special breakfast “boo”-ffet.
