Busch Garden's Howl-O-Scream
Be prepared to scream at Busch Garden's Howl-O-Scream event this October with shocking shows, appalling attractions, and haunted hours.
Every October, Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida transforms into a Halloween horror-land, showing off “The Dark Side of the Garden.” Howl-O-Scream boasts impressive haunted houses, various “scare zones,” spooky entertainment, and chilling coasters. Guests can also attend a fright feast to suit their ghoulish appetites. Every year brings something new to Busch Gardens, and in years past the themes have ranged from “Evil Never Goes Out of Fashion” to “Zombies Live Here.”
Terrifying attractions come to life this October to give you an experience you won't soon forget – if you survive. A Zombie Mortuary rises the dead in a funeral home. Visitors walk through a maze of scenes that immerse visitors into a too-real setting, including a crematory presentation. At Delta Epsilon Delta: Pledge Week, visitors walk through a haunted sorority house with a dark and deadly secret. If you thought your pledge week was scary, wait and see what these sorority sisters have in store for you.
If you survive the haunted houses and cemeteries, make your way to some of the spine-chilling shows the Gardens present. The Academy of Magical Arts' “Stage Magician of the Year” performs a new magic show that will leave you howling in horror at Full Moon Cabaret: The Magic of Jason Byrne; goosebumps will break out along your skin as you follow along with a young couple who break into a wax museum, only to find themselves captured by ghosts in One Wild Night; and Dr. Weirdstein and his manic nurses come back after thirteen years of hibernation to return to work on some intimidating inventions at Fiends.
It wouldn't be Howl-O-Scream if the Gardens didn't present their scare zones. Venture through the Wicked Woods, if you dare, but be warned – a group of hideous fairy tale creatures are around, waiting to make sure no one lives happily ever after. Going into the Corncob Junction will only mean death by flesh-eating zombies for you. And always, clowns, zombies, sliders, and chainsaw-wielding maniacs are waiting around every corner of the park to attack you.
This year, plan a visit to “The Dark Side of the Garden” for a Halloween that, if you live through it, you will remember forever.
