Halloween Fun for Younger Kids at Busch Gardens
Count’s Countdown to Halloween Show
You won’t want to miss a special show, The Count’s Countdown to Halloween, dance parties for the kids and a parade to end the day for families before the haunts and scares of Howl-O-Scream ® start in the evening.
Parade
The costume parade is Saturday & Sundays at 11:30 am, 12:30 pm, 3:30 pm & 4:30 pm. at Elmo’s Castle in Sesame Street Forest of Fun and will make its way to the Globe Theatre in England. Whether your child wishes to participate or watch from the sidelines, it’s sure to be a Spooktacular time.
Parents, if your child’s costume has a mask or prop, we ask for you to kindly leave those at home. Smiling faces always look better in family photos. We offer plenty of options to jazz up your child’s costume with face paint, glow items, and more at the park. Guests can visit one of our face-painting booths to transform into a favorite Halloween character.
Hay Maze
Enjoy a festive adventure through the family-friendly hay maze.
