Check out the Gatorland Graveyard<\/p>\n

Get a drink at Frank N\u2019 Steins Oktoberfest<\/p>\n

Plus a costume parade, candy giveaways, photo ops, games, Halloween vendors, and more meet-and-greet opportunities.<\/p>\n

Gators, Ghosts and Goblins is included with park admission and takes place on Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25.<\/p>\n

All guests are welcome to wear costumes, but the park says nothing scary or gory. <\/p>\n
