A few weekends ago, I was up at the Central Texas Kid's Expo in Belton, TX, with some fellow team members spreading the word about what's going on at SeaWorld this fall. When we go to events like this, most everyone knows about SeaWorld (although some are surprised when we say we're from San Antonio), but I'm always surprised when they don't know about all of the Education programs we offer. I've had this conversation many times:
Me: Howdy! How's it goin'?
Passerby: Doin' well. Oh we love SeaWorld! We have season passes.
Me: Great! We've got Howl-O-Scream coming up at the park, have you ever been to that?
Passerby: Oh no, but we heard about it. It looks pretty cool.
Me: It's a blast. We have stuff for younger kids during the day, then it gets scarier at night. You can even spend the night at SeaWorld.
Passerby: Wow. I didn't know you could do that. What would you think about spending the night at SeaWorld, Johnny?
So, just in case you didn't know...
You can spend the night at SeaWorld for Halloween. We're doing a Howl-O-Scream Sleepover October 24th. Children 3-5 years old must be accompanied by a parent and 1st-8th graders come by themselves.
We do special Halloween activities along with seeing all of the creepy things happening in the park, like "Shamu's Rockin' Creep Show," "Jack's Frightmare Forest," and much more. Plus, learn about many of the animals that live at SeaWorld. Then we'll sleep in our sleeping bags in the Sharks/Coral Reef Exhibit. The kids definitely have the option not to participate in certain features if they get too scared, but there's something for everyone throughout the night.
Guests enjoying Sharks/The Coral Reef before drifting off to sleep.Now that you know about our Adventure Camp programs in October, I'll give you a little hint: If you're at the website checking out the camps, also check out the Jack Hanna Sleepover coming up Nov. 6. I'll give you more details on that one later, but it's definitely one you won't want to miss.
Thanks and Gig 'em,
Jack
