This is a great place for family entertainment because there is something for everyone. Food and wine for adults. Thrill seekers get roller coasters and s great section for toddlers and small children. As usual with these types of parks the food is overpriced. Beef chimichanga is the best deal at food and wine. Don’t go to old world wines- terrible pour for wine. Worst part is that the bathrooms are filthy, especially the one near the entrance., We got the unlimited pass to go as many nights as we want and I’ve had a blast every time. I don’t understand people who leave a bad review, I have gone almost every single night and even though sometimes you can tell there are areas that are understaffed everyone who is working is giving 110%. I have to imagine scaring people all night can be a physically difficult job and on top of that this is just a temporary seasonal gig for them but they perform like true professionals. I’ve seen some guests make it a not fun experience but the employees have been awesome. Going to HOS so many times has been the best stress relief for me, I love screaming and laughing all night. The houses are really well designed and the scare zones are too! The Junkyard one is basically an extra haunted house. They are all awesome. Knowing the actors roam the park keeps the tension up and I’ve had a few scares from them that were very unique and made the experience even cooler. Keep up the great work everyone!!!! Oh, and don’t bring small kids to this please. The imagery is really adult in places, and it makes everyone uncomfortable to try to be chill around your 5yo. Get a babysitter, it’s cheaper than the therapy they will need later., The staff were great, and started to siphon out regular day guests to night time guests around 6:30ish. The houses were great, each with great themes. The wait lines may have been long, but they moved fluidly and that made it all quite easy. We were able to ride a few rides, which at night is a truly great experience. The scare zones and themed foods and drinks were great too!, The top Halloween theme park for the entire Tampa Bay region, and a screaming value for the price of admission, especially if you purchase tickets in advance with a promotional discount. There is an early 2 hour entry with your Howl-O-Scream admission, I recommend getting there early, enjoy some rides, than get into a haunted house line at least 30 minutes before the event starts, this will give you adequate time to get through all the haunted houses and shows before the park closes. My top 2 scare zones are Sun City Zombies and Raven's Hill. My top 3 haunted houses are Stranglewood Estate, Witch of the Woods, and Circus of Fear. You may have extra time afterward to ride some of the best coasters in the dark for a different experience., It has been several years since I have been here. I liked the newer layout of the pathways. They did a great job making sure plenty of shade trees were covering you along most of the paths. A few newer rides since I have been, and they were all enjoyable. Cheetah Hunt being my fav. Beware of having cash to pay for things. Only credit and debit cards are accepted in all locations in the park. Cash can be entered into a kiosk located around the parks and will dispense a Busch Gardens pay card for the amount entered. Food was not so great. My daughter said her chicken tenders tasted like rubber. And I am not quite sure what my hamburger tasted like, because it didn't taste like a hamburger. For it being Father's Day, our longest wait in line was only 15 minutes All in all, my daughter (23) and I (48) had a nice day at the park
