SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular Photos

This is SeaWorld's map for the 2022 Spooktachular event. But you can pretty much find your way around without it.

You can find the Trick-or-Treat Trail Bag near most of the gift shops that are in and around the Spooktacular side of the park. The bags are just $3.99 and are designed with cute animals wearing Halloween costumes. Passholder discounts do apply, so make sure you have your pass handy while checking out. I have a gold pass and my bag ended up being $2.64.

This large billboard is a sign that you're getting very close to the start of the Trick-or-Treat Trail at Spooktacular.

I really enjoy seeing the different costumes the stilt walkers at SeaWorld wear for the various holiday themed events. At Spooktacular, I saw two different costumes... these Atlanians and Scarecrows over in the Dance Party area.

These little flags on all the light posts were so cute! Each had a different Halloween character on them. It was fun trying to find them all.

The origins of the "Bonarty Flag" can be traced back to Japan, where a poster-like flag was often used to advertise outside of small sushi shops and street-side vendors.

There's a dozen of these small candy stands set up along the Trick-or-Treat trail at SeaWorld's Spooktacular event.

These "treat signs" let you know which treats each stand is handing out. So (for example) if you don't want any "hard candies" in those trick-or-treat bags, you'll know before getting in line.

There's a candy shoot on either side of the booth. It's just a PVC pipe and the candy comes sliding down into your bag... rather than the cast member having to lean over and place candy in each bag. The system is fun, and I only misaligned my bag once.

Here's a great shot of the full set-up. The candy stand, the sign that tells what the booth is handing out, and the line!

Hummmm... these Trick-or-Treaters don't look like kids... but I mean, this is the Smarties booth, and everyone loves Smarties!

I went around to all the booths just once, and this is what I ended up with!

There's all sorts of little Halloween knick-knacks in the shops along the Trick-or-Treat Trail ... and they have air conditioning too!

I found these Jumbo Marshmallows Pops over at the Sweet Sailin' Candy Shop... they're $2.99 each.

You'll have to walk though this giant pumpkin to get to the Pumpkin Garden to see all the Pumpkin Fish!

There's so many Pumpkin Fish to look at in the Pumpkin Garden!

They all have different personalities!

You're not supposed to climb on the Pumpkin Fish (there's little signs everywhere), but you can get really close and take all kinds of pictures with them!

There's even a few rare Mexican Pumpkin Fish!

These Pumpkin Fish, (decorated a little like Oaxacan Alebrije Wood Carvings, but not quite as detailed), are located near the Scarecrow Dance Party area, and not with the other Pumpkin Fish.

There's a large area at one end of the Trick-or-Treat Trail for the Scarecrow Halloween Dance Party! These are the DJs. There's also very tall dancing Scarecrows than come out every now and then. This whole area has more of an "autumn/country" vibe than the other Spooktacular locations.

The Mermaid set is quite large and there's SeaWorld photography cast members on-hand for taking photos with the Mermaid.

There's so many different street-side characters to meet along the Trick-or-Treat Trail at Spooktacular!

What a great looking Día de los Muertos costume!

When no one was around to take photos with the Spider Princess ... she had conversations with the little spiders in her house!

The Spider Pirate had soooo much energy! He was really playing up the part, which was really fun to watch!

The Pumpkin Princess was located over by the Pumpkin Garden.

This is an elusive Magenta Gargoyle. They like to eat Manta Rays and small children… which is probably why I found this one perched above the stingray paddock at SeaWorld's Spooktacular. There were ample supplies of sting rays and small children on hand.
