Gators, Ghosts and Goblins returns for family fun and fright at Gatorland

Gatorland, the “Alligator Capital of the World” is bringing back its Halloween event — Gators, Ghosts and Goblins — for a third year of family fun and frights.

The all-ages, daytime event will take place at Gatorland on weekends from Oct. 9-31, 2021.

Guests will be able to search for cryptids in “The Crocs and Cryptids Zone,” and maybe even come across the park’s very own Skunk Ape as they search for hidden cryptozoological beasts. After that, guests can head over to Frank & Stein’s Ooky Kooky Octoberfest for live music from “Polkageist,” Gatorland’s own undead polka band, plus German beer and food available for purchase.

“Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum” will also return this year, inviting guests to enter Swamp Ghost’s lair and learn the origins of the world’s most infamous monsters (and maybe even come face-to-face with a few).

In addition, Gators, Ghosts and Goblins will also include multiple themed haunt zones, interactive characters, animal meet-and-greets, and a Children’s Halloween Costume Parade with treat bags for those who participate — and it’s all included with regular park admission! Guests are welcome to wear costumes to the park, though are asked to avoid anything scary or gory (as Bubba and Skunk Ape are easily scared).

“We are beyond exciting to bring back Gators, Ghosts and Goblins for the third year in a row,” said Mark McHugh, president and CEO of Gatorland. “We just love Halloween and all the fun, spooky and kooky stuff that goes along with it. Can’t you tell?”

Admission is available for purchase online or at Gatorland admissions. For more information, call (407) 855-5496 or visit Gatorland.com.
