Otter and his friends as they gather for a Halloween costume party and celebrate fun fall traditions through song and dance!
Other Spooktacular activities include:

- Halloween Dance Party – Join a cast of silly characters for a Halloween Dance Party featuring popular Halloween-themed songs and family-friendly games like limbo, freeze dance, and more.
- Hay Maze – Wander through a festive hay maze and meet some fun fall characters along the way!

- Halloween Mermaids – Encounter friendly Halloween mermaids throughout the candy trail in a special enchanting experience! Kids of all ages will love meeting and taking special photos with the mermaids as they walk through the trail collecting candy.
A SeaWorld trick-or-trick bag is required to participate in trick-or-treating and will be available to purchase. Please note that guests who are ages 13 and older may not wear costume masks or hoods, and all costumes are subject to the normal dress code for the park.
