Used to be scarce info on these events so I’m glad for the details. Ready for a scream-filled night!
Always love the fall decorations and lighting at Busch, even if I chicken out on the haunted houses.
I got the Any Night pass after missing my date last time. Way less stress trying to pick the right night with friends.
Anyone know if the group deals cover food too, or just tickets? Trying to budget.
Not sure about this year’s surprises but last time the haunted circus theme was amazing. Hope for more weird clowns!
Making this a tradition! 3 years running, always the highlight of my fall.
I miss when this event wasn’t as crazy packed. Still fun, but you really feel the crowds now.
Went to both SeaWorld and Busch Gardens versions last year. Busch was scarier but SeaWorld had better drinks!
Props to the scare actors. They stay in character no matter what. That’s talent right there.
Love that tourists are coming for this but hope the locals can still snag tickets! Last minute never works.
Not really my thing but my girlfriend is obsessed. Guess I’ll be standing in line for jump scares again.
Thanks for the run-down! Now I know to look for the Unlimited Scream Pass. Might go all out.
Heard this year is supposed to be the scariest ever. Looking for recommendations on the best haunted house!
Wish they had bigger group discounts honestly. Bringing a soccer team of kids adds up fast.
Bringing my teens this year for the first time! They begged. Kinda nervous but hoping I can handle the scares.
Glad they bring in more entertainment, the live acts are usually underrated. Anyone know if the freakshow is coming back?
If you go for Night & Day, pace yourself. You’ll be exhausted after rollercoasters AND jump scares all day.
Honestly, every year this thing gets pricier but the new haunted houses are usually pretty awesome. Fingers crossed for decent food options too.
Busch Gardens always nails the creepy atmosphere. The scare zones last year actually made me scream. Can’t wait!
Hotels fill up FAST during Howl-O-Scream, book way early if you want one close by. Learned that the hard way in 2022.
Love that pass holders get discounts! Makes my annual pass feel more worth it every fall.
Had no idea SeaWorld does this too now. Orlando is a bit of a drive but maybe this year’s the year to try both.
I went last year and got the front-of-line package. 100% worth the extra bucks if you hate waiting, especially on Saturday nights.
Glad they have group deals. Makes it easier for us to take the whole friend crew. Haunted houses are always more fun in a group.
The unlimited pass sounds tempting but also like I’d be worn out after two nights. Anyone else tried it?
