FEATURED EVENTS

Come celebrate Halloween with the Grand Concourse Railroad! Our annual Halloween event has something for everyone, from a family-friendly spooky train ride to scary wooded trails filled with live actors, jump scares, and Halloween surprises.

Haunted houses, carnival rides and scare zones return for a new season at a new Miami location. House of Horror Haunted Carnival opens Thursday, Sept. 24, at Tropical Park. The 2026 edition features five haunted houses: Howie's Blind Terror: The Dark Coaster, a haunted dark roller coaster; Hide and Seek: The Warden's Game, an interactive, choose-your-own-path attraction set in an abandoned junkyard; Camp Dead-End Trails, set at a snowed-in mountain camp breached by escaped convicts; The Abduction, a 360-degree experience housed in the Space Dome centered on a military bunker overtaken by extraterrestrials; and Isla de las Muñecas, inspired by the cursed Island of the Dolls.

A little spooky and a lot of whimsy! As the days grow shorter, the leaves change colors, and the crisp autumn air fills the sky, friendly gnomes, fluttering fairies, and curious creatures are getting ready for a special garden adventure! Follow the winding paths to the Gnome & Fairy Garden and join us for a spooktacular morning at the Miami Beach Boo-tanical Garden.

Have fun at the Museum with your pals and the Youth Council. Come explore the galleries, make new friends, and enjoy our activities! Teen’s Turf is the TMA Youth Council’s bi-monthly program for the 2026-2027 school year that welcomes teens to the Tampa Museum of Art on a regular basis for fun, safe, and creative experiences. Teens can create their own art, collaborate with like-minded peers, and experience the art on view, all in a low-pressure, no-cost environment. Any middle or high school aged student is welcome to attend!
