Spooky Things to Do in Florida For Halloween

Last October, my friend Olivia and I decided to embark on a spooky adventure to experience Halloween in Florida. We’ve always been huge fans of Halloween, and Florida is packed with events that blend thrills, fun, and plenty of scares. With pumpkin patches, haunted houses, and some of the best Halloween events you could imagine, our trip was nothing short of unforgettable! If you’re planning a visit for the first time, these are the things to do in Florida for Halloween that will make your trip as memorable as ours.

1. Pumpkin Patch Picking

We kicked off our Halloween adventure with a visit to a pumpkin patch near Orlando. There’s something nostalgic and heartwarming about picking out your own pumpkin, especially when you’re surrounded by families, fall decor, and the crisp autumn air (well, as crisp as it gets in Florida!). The patch we visited had more than just pumpkins – there were hayrides, corn mazes, and even food trucks serving fall-themed treats.

The best part? Olivia and I turned it into a competition to see who could find the most perfectly shaped pumpkin for carving later that evening.

Pro tip: pumpkin patches in Florida are a bit warmer than those up north, so dress comfortably and bring water!

2. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Olivia and I are both Disney fans, so naturally, we had to check out Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World. It was an absolute blast! From the moment we stepped into Magic Kingdom, the entire park was decked out in Halloween decorations, with pumpkins, spooky lights, and even costumed characters greeting us.

What makes this event unique is that it’s perfect for all ages. The trick-or-treating stations were a hit (even for two adults like us!), and the Halloween parade was one of the most magical experiences. The fireworks show? Breathtaking! We also couldn’t resist dressing up, as adults are allowed to wear costumes at this event, which added to the fun. This is hands down one of the best Halloween events in Florida, and if you’re visiting during the spooky season, it’s a must-see.

3. ZooBoo at ZooTampa

Next on our spooky tour was ZooBoo at ZooTampa. Olivia had never been to Tampa, so this was an exciting first for her. What’s great about ZooBoo is that it combines both a traditional zoo experience with Halloween-themed attractions. From haunted houses to lighthearted scares for younger kids, ZooTampa really knows how to put on a show.

One of our favorite parts was the “Scare Zones,” where costumed actors jump out and surprise you as you enter the zoo. But don’t worry, it’s not too intense—more fun than fright. We also got to see the animals during the day, which was a nice break from the haunted excitement.

4. Ghost Tours in St. Augustine

I’ve always been fascinated by history, and Olivia is a sucker for anything supernatural, so we couldn’t pass up a ghost tour in St. Augustine. As the oldest city in the U.S., St. Augustine is packed with eerie tales, and the city itself has a spooky vibe, especially at night.
