The Hollows at Phantom Lake YMCA

The Hollows at Phantom Lake YMCA is a Halloween-themed walking experience perfect for families looking to create lasting fall memories. You'll stroll through beautifully decorated wooded trails and scenic grounds at Wisconsin's oldest YMCA camp, where thousands of hand-carved jack-o-lanterns bring magical fantasy worlds to life—from fairy lands and gnome villages to mermaids and witches. The grounds open at 6:00 p.m., and you'll receive a scheduled time slot for your visit. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for children, with special community nights benefiting local organizations throughout the month. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled time, though arriving earlier gives you a chance to visit the concessions stand. Note that the trail can be challenging for strollers, so plan accordingly for younger children. The event runs rain or shine with no refunds, and pets aren't permitted. All ticket proceeds support the camp's scholarship programs and inclusion services, ensuring children of all abilities can experience camp programming. Purchase tickets directly through the camp's website.
