Guests are invited to visit the park dressed in costume, where there are trick-or-treating stops throughout the park for children (with treats donated by Tastykakes, Ring Pops, Peanut Chews, Herr’s potato chips, cowtales and smarties). The festival offers some special attractions, including a "spooky" walk through Count's castle, exploration of "Abby Cadabby's Magical Halloween Maze", and a ride on the "Not So-Spooky Hayride" hosted by Bert, Ernie, a honker, and a dinger. The event features an annual costume contest and other special day events (such as "The Count's Batty Birthday Bash" and "Abby Cadabby's Fairy Pumpkin Party").
