Welcome to October!

So whether that means Pumpkin Spice Lattes, cooler weather, or if you’re from Florida, some scares – I hope you are ready for it.

One of the great things about living in Florida is the easy access to amusement parks and the special Florida resident rates. The Halloween season is the perfect time to take these advantages and get out to Universal Studios or Busch Gardens and get your scare on. Both parks have very similar offerings, Universal Offers Halloween Horror Nights while Busch Gardens offers Howl-O-Scream. And for the first time ever, SeaWorld is also getting in on the fun and offering Howl-O-Scream

Each park stays open to the early hours of the morning providing guests with specialty Haunted Houses, Scare Zones, and midnight rides.

Here is a look at what each park has in store to get the most screams out of you!
