The Hollows at Phantom Lake YMCA

Step into an enchanting autumn evening at this one-of-a-kind Halloween experience. The Hollows transforms the historic Phantom Lake YMCA Camp into a magical wonderland featuring thousands of hand-carved jack-o-lanterns scattered throughout the wooded trails and scenic shores. As you wander through fairy lands, gnome villages, mermaid grottos, and witch-inhabited forests, the carved pumpkins create an immersive fantasy atmosphere that sparks imagination for visitors of all ages. This family-friendly event runs weekend evenings throughout October, with tickets sold by time slot (arrive 15 minutes early to your scheduled time). Admission is $20 for adults and $12 for children. A concessions stand is available if you'd like to arrive earlier and grab a snack. Note that while the grounds are stroller-friendly for getting around, the trail itself isn't ideal for strollers, so plan accordingly. All ticket proceeds support Phantom Lake's scholarship and accessibility programs, making your visit directly benefit kids' camp experiences. The event runs rain or shine with no refunds, and pets are not permitted.
