Gatorland is set to open today Saturday, October 12, kicking off the first weekend of its popular Gators, Ghosts, and Goblins Halloween event, now returning for its sixth consecutive year.
The all-ages, daytime, family-friendly event takes place during park hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. over three weekends in October, from Oct. 12 through 27, 2024. Don’t be afraid to have a little fun in the hugely popular Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum where Cyrus the Gravedigger is dying to teach you macabre facts about the paranormal. Meet Gatorland’s own Florida Bigfoot, Skunk Ape, at the Cryptic Petting Zoo, then hop aboard the Cryptid Express where you can seek out hidden beasties like Moth Man, Chupacabra, Jersey Devil and more! Be sure to check out the Gargantuan Gourds as pumpkin monsters take over the brand-new Godwin’s Gourd Farm.
All this, plus animal meet and greets, photo ops, and a Children’s Halloween Costume Parade with treat bags for all kids who participate. There are also fun shows, Live DJ, a variety of specialty vendors, games, candy giveaways, and more.
Originally opened as a roadside attraction in 1949, Gatorland is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year.
