Halloween Glen
Stop by Milwaukee Recreation's Halloween Glen, a fall tradition more than 30 years in the making!
Actors present interactive and educational skits at eight decorated stations at Hawthorn Glen Outdoor Education Center, Milwaukee Recreation's 23-acre nature center. This humorous and educational outdoor adventure is a great alternative to the usual, spooky Halloween events! Following the hike, families can participate in a variety of fall-themed activities. Concessions will be available (cash only).
Information about our 2027 event is coming soon.
