Tampa’s spooky season is officially underway, and Busch Gardens is turning up the fear factor with brand-new haunted houses, scare zones, sinister shows and more.
From Sept. 8 through Oct. 31, parkgoers can experience Howl-O-Scream after the sun goes down, with tickets starting at $48.99.
This year’s event brings new storylines and experiences to the park, giving returning fans plenty of familiar scares while introducing new ways to get spooked.
The all-new haunted house Anaconda: Fear Has No Escape will transport guests into the Amazon rainforest, bringing the world of Anaconda to life.
Stranglewood Estate: RePossessed takes guests inside the abandoned home of Madame Stranglewood, where servants disappear into the walls and tortured spirits remain trapped inside.
The third new haunted house, Circus of Fear: Killer Encore, invites guests to step right up into a deadly circus show where the entertainment takes a sinister turn.
Another new storyline comes to Shadows of Wonderland: Reign of Madness, where Alice is dragged through the courtyard by the Queen and into a twisted version of Wonderland.
The scares don't stop there. Three new scare zones — Mr. Gleam’s Auto Spa, The Punchline Riot and Rootbound — will bring new storylines and jump scares to guests as they make their way through the park.
