You probably already know about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Halloween Horror Nights. There are plenty of other Halloween events throughout the area as well. Some are for thrill fans, others are for those who like things a little bit calmer.
This year Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is debuting a new Halloween themed event that is for the kids. It’s called Halloween Harvest. It runs on select dates from September 7 through October 27, and it is included with your Busch Gardens Tampa Bay admission! As always with Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, buy your tickets online for the lowest price. Below is the official Halloween Harvest press release.
