How to Celebrate Halloween in Orlando

Looking for lots of Halloween fun, but prefer to jet off to a reliably warm locale versus a spooky spot in New England or a European haunt? Consider spending Halloween in Orlando, where you’ll find tons to do leading up to the big day.

Some of your top options?

• Spend Halloween at a favorite theme park, whether you want an experience the entire family can enjoy, such as what you might find at Magic Kingdom Park, or you’d prefer the spookier leanings of Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights.
• Join the Orlando Zombie Crawl to visit multiple venues in downtown Orlando (and maybe win a prize for your most creative costume).
• Attend Spooky Empire, one of the country’s largest horror conventions and rub elbows with famous celebrity guests such as Nicholas Hoult, Cassandra Peterson and Parker Posey.

“As travelers increasingly look for destinations that offer more than just a day of Halloween fun, Orlando stands out with a full season of immersive experiences across every corner of our region,” noted Casandra Matej, president and CEO, Visit Orlando. “From nationally recognized theme park celebrations to local arts events, family festivals and fan-favorite haunts, our Halloween lineup showcases the creativity, scale and variety that make Orlando a top fall travel destination for all ages.”
