halloweenHowl-O-Scream at SeaWorld San Antonio

Howl-O-Scream is back for its 20th year. This is an event that will help you transcend beyond the aquatic park you know as Sea World into something spooktacular. Goblins, ghosts and spooky creatures alike will be roaming the park, scare zones and haunted houses. This year’s Howl-O-Scream will feature new events like the horror-filled haunt, the swamp at blackwater bayou and three new “terror-tories.” There will also be fun for trick or-treaters of all ages, with signature halloween bars, live music, entertainment and roller coasters sure to give you the ultimate thrill. However, young trick-or-treaters beware: At 7 p.m., the park will transform into an event too spooky for young children. It is not recommended for children under the age of 13 or the faint of heart. Howl-O-Scream is included with park admission.
