People always compare to Universal and it is so annoying when it is totally different spectrums. I will always come back here every year forever! The food and spooky drinks are excellent too. Very affordable compared to other Halloween type events. Oh and the shows are great too the cirque acrobatic type stuff. The roller coasters at night are to die for

I'm obsessed with Halloween and always looking for new haunted houses to go to. This was my first…read moreyear going to Howl-O-Scream and I didn't know what to expect, and it was great! I got my tickets early bird so they were pretty cheap (I think like $35 each), which is definitely the way to go. I went in the beginning/middle of September and it wasn't crowded at all; we waited at most 15 minutes, and walked straight into some of the houses. There were 5 houses, and I would say the actual set designs are surprisingly almost as good as HHN. They do such a great job with movie-level sets and themes. The acting and scare zones weren't as great. Some of the scare zones were minimally decorated, to where you couldn't even tell you were in them. While some of the actors were really into it, a lot of them were so low energy that my husband even joked that they may be normal daytime Busch Gardens employees that they just threw costumes on. We went to both shows. The circus one was absolutely mind-blowing! It was creative and impressive, and kind of like a dark Cirque du Soleil show with different crazy stunts. The other show was more of a play, and was kind of cheesy. If you only have time for one, I'd definitely recommend the circus one. Overall, I think Howl-O-Scream is a great value for the price, and definitely worth going.

I LOVED this event!!!…read more My first exposure to Silent Disco was at the Gasparilla Music Festival two years ago. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay longer due to time constraints. I was beyond thrilled when I saw the event for Silent Disco posted on Facebook. Luckily, I am a member at the Tampa Museum of Art so I was able to receive $10 off of admission. For those unfamiliar with Silent Disco, each attendee receives a set of wireless headphones. There are several music stations you can choose from, designated by the color lit on your headphones. Tonight, there were three different kinds of music with three different DJs. Basically, you are dancing on your own to the music station you select. The best part is everyone is dancing in silence so to the ordinary bystander it looks peculiar. The Tampa Museum of Art was the perfect place to hold this event. The dance floor was not overcrowded at all. However, it did get hot, so many of us were able to go outside of the museum and dance. The fall weather made a rare Florida appearance tonight, which made for perfect dancing weather outside. The Pig Jig event was being held in the adjacent Curtis Hixon Park, and its attendees were giving us strange looks. Some of the festival-goers came over to ask what was going on and were taking pictures. It was funny to see some of their expressions. Silent Disco was such a blast! I had such an amazing time that when I looked at my watch, the hours had flown by and the event was almost over. I will definitely be attending Silent Disco in the future. Check it out if you want to do something different. You'll be glad you did.

Came for Lucas Zelnick on a Thursday. Venue is modest and love the table seating versus…read morestadium/theater seating atmosphere for a comedy show, very intimate. Service was quick and fast. I only had a coffee in an attempt to meet my two drink minimum but it of course was diner-esque coffee. Nothing special so I didn't have another and we were full from dinner so didn't purchase anything else. $3 for each "two item minimum" was added to the tab (it's two item min per person so $6 charge if you bought nothin). I don't mind that because the venue and staff gotta get their bread. I think that's fair especially for the price of the tickets (affordable). Would definitely come back it's just far from me!

I've been here for two shows this spring and I absolutely love it! This venue is run by Ruth Eckerd…read moreHall and they do a great job. It is easy to purchase tickets on their website, easy to enter and easy to find your seat (if you have a seat.) If you don't have a seat, the lawn area is not too huge so you wouldn't be too far away. They have plenty of bars and booths to get other beverages. I didn't have to wait behind more than 2 people any time I got a drink. The bathrooms are inside and air-conditioned and the line moves pretty quick because the stalls in the ladies room has signs so you can see what ones are open. I do think they could still have used a few more ladies stalls because as you see everywhere, there is a line for the women but not the men. Another cool thing is they have several food trucks and even ice cream vendors. I visited the keilbasa truck before one show and it was good. The food from the other vendors looked good too. I actually had food from the chicken and waffle truck before when tbey were at my nearby library so I know their food is good too. The one downside is that it is in downtown Clearwater and parking is spread out. However, if you are willing to walk you can find free or affordable parking. I personally would rather spend my money on a drink than parking so I look for deals and am not sharing my secrets. Also, downtown Clearwater only has like 3 restaurants nearby so that's why it is important to have good food trucks at the venue. I will definitely be going to more shows here! It is so much nicer than it was before. The whole park is nice.

What a sham. We thought this might be an exhibit in a Tampa museum but it was instead staged in…read moresome nondescript building near the Buccaneers' stadium. Most of the parking lot was off limits and people arriving had to work through a maze of turns in the hopes of getting close to the entrance--not clearly marked either. The usher seemed to have been trained just days earlier and separated people into "VIP" and "Normal" ticketholders. It turns out the difference is if you pay an addition $10 you can experience some room with a VR headset. We declined. The exhibit was lame and not worth the time getting there. Most of the exhibit consisted of large photographs depicting various rooms and such. You're basically told you an wander around on a self-guided tour, but when we got to what we thought was the last room, we exited into what looked like a storage area. Figuring that was wrong, we doubled back to the front desk to ask similarly poorly-trained gift shop personnel if we missed something. Turns out there was a white cloth draped over another exit--unmarked--and that is where you could up the passenger's name on a card you were handed when you walked in (and after dodging the obligatory green screen photography hustle). You could at that time pay $10 to do the VR, but we were so disappointed we just left. This is a highly-hyped cash grab and definitely not worth the 25 minutes it takes to see the exhibits. Avoid at all costs and go to Ybor City 15 minutes away and grab lunch or dinner.

I have so much fun trying all of the breweries on the main concourse, then when you try all of those there are tons more down where the ice would be. I'm guessing there were 150+ different kinds of beers to try. There are 3 different times to come: 6pm-10pm VIP: You get 4 hours with this option and food 7pm-10pm General Admission Plus: Unlimited beer sampling 8pm-10pm General Admission: Unlimited beer sample I bought 2 General Admission tickets and it was $120 total. How much beer sampling can you do in a night, I guess is the question? 2 hours is plenty long enough for me. I also, typically go to Yard House before and after the event for more fun. They have photo booths, and video areas where they will put you on the jumbo tron. Plus a bomb DJ goes the entire night. I super duper recommend this event!

In comparison to some of my other haunts in the area; this one is great for sound comfortability as far is air-conditioned and has more lighting than most. Props are commercial actors are volunteers And you could expect to have to put some effort into psyching yourself out a little for real screen factor unless you scary. I recommend this haunt for 3 reasons it helps break the ice if you're a little uncertain about doing a haunted houses, or you scary easily it's a comfortable a/cdon't have to worry about getting dirty and then of course there's the really great charity purpose behind it which makes it probably the number one reason!

It is also a theatre where every seat is good (unless very tall people sit in front of you) and sound is excellent. We've seen many shows here and find the paid and volunteer staff welcoming and helpful. The bathroom situation is similar to other places in that they have several places to go, but it can be a lengthy wait if more women than men attend the event. Men always seem to be much more quick! Our latest outing here was for ONE NIGHT OF QUEEN. It was louder than we wanted (Apple Watch went off many times warning of hearing loss). The light show was amazing. The musical side was good, but not spectacular (why could we not understand what they were singing for the first 4 obscure Queen songs?). We look forward to attending more events here.
