Before 6 pm each day the park is considered kid-siderate for those who can’t or are unwilling to brave the event.

With new music and special effects throughout the park, returning guests will notice immediately how nerve-racking the event is. Explore several Terror-tories throughout the park’s European landscape including the all-new including Wendigo Woods in New France where the scares are not merely physical, but they will play with your mind too! Sometimes this can be the scariest of all! Busch Gardens six haunted houses remain one of the more exciting parts of the event. Each is rated with a different scare factor, be sure to check the rating and that you can take the heat before you enter! Several Halloween themed shows will be shaking things up this year.
