Our favorite time of the year to visit Busch Gardens starts this weekend. With two boys who are 10 and 11 we can now take in all that Howl-O- Scream has to offer. I will say if you have younger children quite a bit of Howl-O Scream might be too scary at night-ime.. To help parents decide what to see and do the attractions and shows are rated for their scare factor.
Howl O Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg is open from Sept. 25 – Nov. 1, 2009 every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Now entering it’s 11th year the fright fest for 2009 will feature 18 scare zones, haunted attractions and Halloween-themed live shows. Fifteen of the attractions are completely new. For more information, visit www.howl-o-scream.com.
This year hours are Fridays 10 AM- 10 PM, Saturdays 10 AM – 11 PM and Sundays 10 AM to 10 PM beginning Friday September 25th and continuing through Sunday November 1st 2009.
What is Howl – O – Scream? An incredibly popular event here in Williamsburg, Gardens VA. Busch Gardens makes itself over for Halloween offering mazes/haunted houses, scare zones, and shows.
While most attractions are geared towards older teens and adults, families can enjoy Howl-O-Scream too! The park provides a "scare rating system" so that parents can determine which attractions would be appropriate for their little ones (from "good fun for everyone" up to "No one under 17, please"). Many of the shows feature fun Halloween music that everyone can enjoy.
Tickets can be purchased on line as well as at the park. There is a description of attractions on line as well.
| Locals/ Insiders Tip: Go Early in the season. The closer to Halloween, the more crowded it gets. The crowds lines and wait times can be outrageously long towards the end of October. See you there ! |
