Spooky Things to Do in Florida For Halloween

Last October, my friend Olivia and I decided to embark on a spooky adventure to experience Halloween in Florida. We’ve always been huge fans of Halloween, and Florida is packed with events that blend thrills, fun, and plenty of scares. With pumpkin patches, haunted houses, and some of the best Halloween events you could imagine, our trip was nothing short of unforgettable! If you’re planning a visit for the first time, these are the things to do in Florida for Halloween that will make your trip as memorable as ours.

1. Pumpkin Patch Picking

We kicked off our Halloween adventure with a visit to a pumpkin patch near Orlando. There’s something nostalgic and heartwarming about picking out your own pumpkin, especially when you’re surrounded by families, fall decor, and the crisp autumn air (well, as crisp as it gets in Florida!). The patch we visited had more than just pumpkins – there were hayrides, corn mazes, and even food trucks serving fall-themed treats.

The best part? Olivia and I turned it into a competition to see who could find the most perfectly shaped pumpkin for carving later that evening.

Pro tip: pumpkin patches in Florida are a bit warmer than those up north, so dress comfortably and bring water!

2. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Olivia and I are both Disney fans, so naturally, we had to check out Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World. It was an absolute blast! From the moment we stepped into Magic Kingdom, the entire park was decked out in Halloween decorations, with pumpkins, spooky lights, and even costumed characters greeting us.

What makes this event unique is that it’s perfect for all ages. The trick-or-treating stations were a hit (even for two adults like us!), and the Halloween parade was one of the most magical experiences. The fireworks show? Breathtaking! We also couldn’t resist dressing up, as adults are allowed to wear costumes at this event, which added to the fun. This is hands down one of the best Halloween events in Florida, and if you’re visiting during the spooky season, it’s a must-see.

3. ZooBoo at ZooTampa

Next on our spooky tour was ZooBoo at ZooTampa. Olivia had never been to Tampa, so this was an exciting first for her. What’s great about ZooBoo is that it combines both a traditional zoo experience with Halloween-themed attractions. From haunted houses to lighthearted scares for younger kids, ZooTampa really knows how to put on a show.

One of our favorite parts was the “Scare Zones,” where costumed actors jump out and surprise you as you enter the zoo. But don’t worry, it’s not too intense—more fun than fright. We also got to see the animals during the day, which was a nice break from the haunted excitement.

4. Ghost Tours in St. Augustine

I’ve always been fascinated by history, and Olivia is a sucker for anything supernatural, so we couldn’t pass up a ghost tour in St. Augustine. As the oldest city in the U.S., St. Augustine is packed with eerie tales, and the city itself has a spooky vibe, especially at night.

We booked a night tour through old cemeteries, haunted inns, and even the famous Castillo de San Marcos. Our guide told us chilling stories about past residents whose spirits are said to still wander the streets. The atmosphere was surreal – lanterns flickered in the distance as the guide whispered about ghost sightings. It was easily one of the best ghost tours I’ve ever been on, and it’s a must if you’re looking for spooky things to do for Halloween. Read more…

the sims modding community is funny because they'll slave away digitally sculpting characters with a terabyte of ultra HD band shirts and makeup and slacks and make what is almost a photo realistic supermodel that gives you the vapors but in the end they're still going to eat a bowl of stale macaroni and say "Ooo! Ubiki flärgen dufe! Zooboo leeben fark." and die from sitting in a recliner too hard.

So, yesterday we went to the Knox ZooBoo!! Avery was a kitty cat and Ariel was a Rainbow Ghost!! Avery scooted around the house meowing, and Ariel was running around pretending to be a ghost, lol. We met up with the Velasquez family at the Zoo for the event, Gracie was a Unicorn Princess and Brother was Paw Patrol. We had such a good time walking around collecting candy and checking out the decorations. After we left the Zoo went over to the Velasquez home to let the kids play and to have some of the best pulled pork I've ever had that Joe had made @averagejoe_backyardbbq if you want to check it out. Anyways, we had an amazing time and it was a great day and a great start to the weekend. #newhome #newus #firsttimehomeowners #thevelasquezhome #zooknoxville #zooboo (at Knoxville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVHGekYg4VL/?utm_medium=tumblr

once again thinking about the time a coworker was bitching to everyone that I'd only called off work the day of my gramma's funeral as an excuse to hang out with my boyfriend, which is how I found out that a) this coworker is just kind of a meanhearted shithead for no reason and b) everybody at the zoo loved me
