The Best Fall Fun and Halloween Activities in Orlando for Toddlers

|

If your little one is still in the “cute and cuddly” stage, you don’t want jump scares or late-night thrills. Instead, you want pumpkins, friendly characters, and daytime fun. We’ve rounded up the best toddler-approved Halloween and fall experiences in Central Florida, focusing on events that are open on weekdays or start early in the day.

Plus, we’ve included a few weekend favorites that are well worth a family outing.

TODDLER FUN OPEN ON WEEKDAYS

Leu Gardens – Dragons: Hidden Treasure Quest

Harry P. Leu Gardens, Orlando
Open daily, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
This magical garden experience is more enchanting than spooky. Families can explore lush gardens while spotting whimsical dragons hidden along the paths. It’s stroller-friendly, educational, and a peaceful outdoor activity for curious toddlers who love a little adventure.

SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium – Pirates of the Haunted Seas

ICON Park, Orlando
Open daily, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
At this family-friendly aquarium, little ones can follow a “haunted” pirate treasure map without anything scary involved. Colorful fish, sea turtles, and gentle lighting make it a calm yet festive experience. Some of the decorations include skeletons and bat shapes, but nothing is scary. Perfect for weekday mornings when crowds are low.

The decorations are out each day, however, the Haunted Seas activities and enhancements are only offered on select dates – mostly Saturdays and Sundays.
