What’s happening right now at SeaWorld:
During SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular®, kids can show up in costume and enjoy not-too-spooky entertainment such as a Halloween-themed sea lion and otter show, colorful costumed characters and trick-or-treating among a sea-inspired atmosphere. New for Spooktacular this year will be a themed area celebrating Dia de los Muertos, where colorful papel picado flags, vibrant Ofrendas and large Catrinas will invite guests to learn about and take part in the festivities of this traditional Mexican holiday. Halloween Spooktacular takes place weekends through Oct. 30. Visit the park’s website for more details.
