Gatorland Orlando is dusting off its Halloween decorations for another season of swamp-meets-spooky fun. Gators, Ghosts and Goblins — now in its eighth year — returns on October 10 and runs on select weekends through October 25, with event dates falling on October 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25.
The daytime festival leans into Florida's wilder side with a cryptid-heavy lineup of activities. Guests can ride the Cryptids Express to spot hidden creatures like Moth Man, the Chupacabra, and the Jersey Devil, or stop by the Swamp Ghost's Museum to learn about vampires and mummies. There are also meet-and-greet opportunities with the Skunk Ape and Eddie the Yeti, plus a walk through the Gatorland Graveyard.
Beyond the creature features, the event includes a costume parade, candy giveaways, photo ops, games, and Halloween vendors. Adults can grab a cold one at Frank N' Steins Oktoberfest, the craft beer station on the grounds. Costumes are welcome for all ages, though the park asks that nothing scary or gory be worn.
Gators, Ghosts and Goblins is included with regular park admission, so no separate event ticket is required. Tickets and more information are available on the Gatorland website. This story was originally reported by ClickOrlando (WKMG News 6).
