Spooktacular Savings: AAA Discounts for Halloween Events 

As the leaves begin to turn and a crisp chill fills the air, we all get excited for one of the most anticipated holidays of the year: Halloween! Whether you’re looking for heart-pumping scares or something more relaxed and kid-friendly, there is definitely no shortage of fun Halloween events.

For AAA Members, the spooky season gets even sweeter thanks to exclusive discounts on some of the most popular frights and delights. Forget endlessly Googling "Halloween events near me" – we've compiled a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your membership and enjoy thrilling Halloween events without breaking the bank.

Howl-O-Scream and SCarowinds, North/South Carolina

If your idea of Halloween is more about adrenaline and screaming in terror, there are plenty of incredible options, and AAA has your back with potential discounts.

SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay aren’t too scary during the day, but when darkness falls and Howl-O-Scream begins, these popular theme parks turn into a realm of nightmarish creatures, elaborate haunted houses, and sinister scare zones. The park’s already intense roller coasters take on a whole new level of fear after dark. AAA Members can often secure reduced admission, allowing you to experience the terror for less. 

Carowinds Halloween tickets will grant you access to SCarowinds, North Carolina's premier Halloween event. You can enjoy the family-friendly Oktoberfest and Tricks and Treats during the day, but once the sun sets, the park becomes a terrifying spectacle. SCarowinds features multiple haunted mazes, scare zones, and live entertainment designed to send shivers down your spine. Don't miss out on the frights – check your AAA Membership for discounts on SCarowinds tickets and get ready for a night of screams. 

Because of content like gore and violence, both Howl-O-Scream and SCarowinds are not recommended for children.

Knott's Scary Farm, Knott’s Berry Farm California

Out on the West Coast, Halloween enthusiasts flock to Buena Park, California, for one of the longest-running and most iconic haunted events: Knott's Scary Farm. For over 50 years, Knott's Berry Farm has been transforming into a ghoulish wonderland each fall. With dozens of mazes and monstrous creatures lurking around every corner, Knott's Scary Farm is a rite of passage for horror fans. Like SCarowinds and Howl-O-Scream, this event is not for the faint of heart and is not recommended for children under the age of 13. 

AAA Members can save up to 3% on Knott’s Scary Farm tickets, making this highly sought-after Halloween experience more accessible.

Happy Hauntings at Dutch Wonderland and Story Land, Pennsylvania

If you have younger children or are looking for a less intense Halloween experience, Happy Hauntings at Dutch Wonderland and Story Land is a great option! Dutch Wonderland, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Story Land, located in Glen, New Hampshire, are sister theme parks that cater to families with young kiddos. 

At Happy Hauntings, you can enjoy trick or treating, not-so-spooky story time, hay mazes, fun rides, and more. The best part? With your AAA Membership, you can save up to 51% on tickets to both parks!

Historic ghost tours

Are theme parks not your vibe? Never fear (or do) – book a Ghosts and Gravestones tour in some of the most haunted cities in America. Your knowledgeable Ghost Host will take you on a unique journey through the city’s spookiest places and share fascinating ghost stories. These tours are a perfect blend of learning and fun as you hear about macabre history on a vintage trolley that’s sure to put you in the Halloween mood.

AAA Members can save up to 12% on Ghosts and Gravestones tours, which are available in the following cities:

• Boston, Massachusetts 

• San Diego, California

• St. Augustine, Florida 

• Key West, Florida

• Savannah, Georgia 

Save on movie tickets

Looking for a simple Halloween activity close to home? Sometimes, a scary movie or a cozy fall flick is all you really need to feel the holiday spirit! Your AAA Membership can get you discounts at movie theaters such as AMC, Regal, Cinemark and more. Get ready to enjoy a night of hiding behind your popcorn bucket or swooning over a romcom – or maybe, with your AAA savings, you’ll want to try both!

Tips for maximizing your AAA Halloween discounts:

1. Plan ahead: Popular Halloween events, especially those at theme parks, often sell out. Purchasing your Disney Halloween tickets, SCarowinds tickets, or Howl-O-Scream tickets in advance through AAA can guarantee your entry and often provides better deals.
2. Do your research: Some Halloween events are scarier than others, so be sure to check age recommendations before buying tickets, which may be nonrefundable depending on the event. Read up on each attraction’s content and policies to decide if they’re right for you and your family!
3. Look for other perks: Beyond just ticket discounts, remember to utilize your AAA Membership for savings on hotels, car rentals and even dining, which can all contribute to a more affordable and enjoyable Halloween experience.

No matter if you're looking for sweet treats or terrifying tricks, your AAA Membership is a powerful tool to unlock discounts on a wide variety of Halloween events.
