There are also fun shows, a variety of specialty vendors games, candy giveaways and more.
“Our entire staff works incredibly hard to put on this frightfully fun event for all our guests,” said Mark McHugh, CEO of Gatorland.
“You won’t find another Halloween experience that is anything like ours.”
The event, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., is included with park admission and guests are welcome to wear costumes.
