Prepare for chills and thrills as Undead in the Water, Tampa’s only nautical haunted attraction, returns to Tampa’s waterfront. Running on select dates through November 1, this eerie experience offers a spine-tingling blend of history and horror.
Set aboard The American Victory Ship, a 1945 WWII cargo vessel with a storied past, Undead in the Water promises a terrifying adventure across multiple decks. Built in just 55 days, the ship served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Today, it stands as one of only three fully operational WWII Victory-class ships in the U.S. and operates as a floating museum.

Undead in the Water imagines a more haunted past, inviting those brave enough to “descend into abandoned cell blocks and rusted passageways where the prisoners are no longer human… and the doctors’ work is far from over. “Undead in the Water is not for the faint of heart or young children. Brave souls who dare to navigate the maze of scares will need nerves of steel and a will to survive as they traverse this historic ship.
2026 dates: September 26; October 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 22-24, 29-31
