Reviews of Bronze Fonz (Tourist Attraction)

Laurie Park

every time I see the bronze Fonz it brings back memories of me and my mom when she was still alive going to the restaurant right next to it and taking pictures I love it

Eric Counterman

Really cool downtown Milwaukee vibes.

Erin Koller

Great view of the river, fun photo opportunity, map of all the other sculptures close by. A Milwaukee must if you enjoy photos and kitsch.

Eric Introligator

Cool photo op with the Fonz. He's right on the river. Don't know if it's because of the construction on the adjacent bridge, but it seems they could put him in a more prominent spot.

Chris Warn

Nice to take a walk on the river walk.

juan garcia

Great food. Great prices.

Kyle Clothier

Heeeyyyyyy! Sit on it!

Theodore Hartleb

Fun spot. Hard to find free parking though.

Ray Stevens

Fun bronze sculpture of the Fonz from Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley fame. Great place for fun photos near the river.

anna pass

Hppy days was not shot in Milwaukee and this was a great disappointment. Fonzies statue is nothing but a single figure on the corner of the terrace, and there is literally nothing more. Not worth the money you put into the parking meter.

William Krambs

The Fonz was a little disappointing. He's just life size and I was expecting a large statue. The river walk however is very neat a worth visiting. Many nice looking restaurants and bars and great views of old Milwaukee architecture.

Frank Kershaw1

Best site in Milwaukee. Ayyyy!

Donald Hawkins

The entire river walk is nice. One of the comments from our group was that in 3 days we had not been harassed for change. I grew up watching the Happy Days and this was on our list to go visit. We achieved our goal. Check out all the art on the river walk if your every up this way

Morgan Kira

The TEETH! LOL

Emily Coffman

Easy to get to. Right on riverwalk

Jennifer Mojica

Walked down by the river to see Bronze Fonz. Was great to check this off list. Smaller than I thought. Beware of seagulls, they tried to grab our coffees when we put down to get pictures.

Roger Zerbe

Who doesnt want their Pic taken with the Bronze Fonz. This is a must when visiting Milwaukee.

Cool statue nice view of lake

Allan Thoennes

It was nice to see Fonzie. Great walk along the river too.

DAVID DINARDI

Loved it.

Phillip Hay

Great for a few photos.

Dennis Wallinger

Historical and Milwaukee at it's finest.

Brian Kennedy

Took a little while to find since this part of the Riverwalk was closed but we did get to it. Not a very strong resemblance to Fonzy but an interesting statue. Would not really go out of my way to see it however the Riverwalk is very nice so you will most likely come upon it.

Noah Strauss

Very unique piece of architecture on the beautiful River Walk!

Rheanna Schmidt

When I was there, there was a TON of construction on nearby roads so I had to walk way out of the way, but its Fonz, so I did it. He gets hot since he's right in the sun so be careful touching him if it's a warm day. It's a nice area to get some pics though!

Linda Oglesby

In Milwaukee. Great statue. Brings back memories of the " Fonz."

Justin W

It's a statue of Henry Winkler. Aaaaaaaaay.

Elda Jameson

Very fun to see!

Rick Temple

Always great to get out and walk atoind downtown

Beau Braden

I did not know about the Bronze Fonz statue until I got to play the song Milwaukee on my Rock Band game. So I had to get some photo with the legend Arthur Fonzerelli!! Epic!!!

Nicholas Averill

Go Bucks! Milwaukee staple here make sure you see it!

Patric Rogers

It's a fun piece of pop culture history. It's a statue just standing there along the river. Of course I'm old enough to have immediately recognized the Fonz, and Wikipedia has a great article on the statue, to refresh those of us who grew up watching "Happy Days" (I'm old enough to have seen some of the original series, and then watched a lot on syndication), and to explain it to those too young to know the Fonz. Milwaukee is a very comfortable city. I ran across Bronze Fonz while simply walking at lunch time (I was in town on business), then later some coworkers and I were walking after dinner and took pix with Fonz. It was good silly fun. Kudos to Mr Sawyer (the sculpter), the city, and Mr Winkler (the Fonz himself).

Julie Bayer

Pretty kitchy and might have passed it up since it's just on the patio of a Chinese restaurant, but it made for some fun pics!

Katrin Matoga

The area is very relaxing. Parking can be an issue but it all worked out

Michael Rumage

The fonz is iconic to Milwaukee, it was cool to see and be a part of that.

Randi Sparkman

Great photo op along the river walk.

Brian Childers

This is great way to remember the “Happy Days”. The statue is a great photo opportunity to take and pose next to. The location of the Bronze Fonz is right on the river walk, conveniently close to restaurants and pubs. It’s a perfect excuse after a dinner to go for a walk and take some pictures.

Pastor Wilbur Medley

Great spot enjoyed it very much.

Chris J

The Bronze Fonz is located along the river walk. When we saw him, he was decorated for St Patrick's Day. The kids thought we were strange. But then again they don't know 'These Happy Days are yours and mine.'

Giselbert Parkhurst

If you are on a local tour of all things MKE, it's important to add taking a selfie or a few group pics with the Bronze Fonz! He was very willing to take tons of pictures with us! The great things is he's close to places to grab a bite or a cocktail. MKE must to check off your tourist list. Locals dig him too!

Mike B

Great photo opportunity.

Carol Thomson

Remembering the good old days!

Rick Bone

Great location right on the river walk..a must see for any Happy Days and Henry Winkler fan..

Tim Wodke

If you're on a photo tour of Milwaukee...

Sandra Weister

Was difficult to find, but when did, fun to see!!

Chris Noakes

Seems a little cheap for such an iconic figure of Milwaukee. Its not terrible but expected better. If it wasn't for the clothes or thumbs up gesture we wouldn't have been able to tell who it was. Nice views from the location though.

Jeffrey Pingeon

A must photo OP when in milwaukee

Jimmy Speakes

Gotta check it out if your close and loved Happy Days. Typical Fonz pose except you get to pose with him. Sure is short though. Wonder if it's life size?

Mary Beem

Brought back fun memories!

Melaida Corpuz

I heard of this by researching places to see in Milwaukee since we flew here on our Chicago trip (short drive to Chicago). We got our pic taken happy to say!

Jesse Washington

We went for my birthday and everything was delicious. Mario and Paula were both exceptionally nice. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Kevin’s Cycle Adventures 2019

So cool for someone like me that grew up watching Happy Days! Henry Winkler is a pretty short guy and his statue is life size.

Nicholas R

A definite photo op. Easy to get to on river walk. Visit Gertie too - she's not far from the Fonz!

Allison Wirtz

The Bronze Fonz gives that end of the beautiful riverwalk a fun lighthearted feeling. It's a great tourist destination and photo-op, but even as a life-long resident of Milwaukee I visit whenever I'm on the Riverwalk. I love that it gives a shout-out to Happy Days set here in Milwaukee.

J K

Milwaukee's homage to the great Henry Winkler...ehhh....

Giorgio Jaramillo

Unique will be the right word for it... A must visit monument for all the Happy Days fans... It's a shame that the Chinese restaurant next to it must be replaced with something more according to the Happy Days theme.

Elanna Winnett

Always fun to visit!!

Stacy K

Strolling along the Milwaukee River, you have to stop and visit the Fonz statute. A great part of Milwaukee!

John Lawler

If you love bronze and The Fonz...well, I hope you're sitting down. Because , your life is about to change.

Brooke Burton

Fun stop. Good location.

David Heck

It's a bronze statue not that exciting

Josef hutchinson

Fonz is much shorter in person. His jeans are tight like on Happy Days. It's chilly and windy out here by the water but couldn't pass up this opportunity.

Kenny Melcombe

Great to see the Fonz. Though I got hustled by a guy to get bus fare....then he sat there waiting for the next victim.

Amanda Abell

You have to go see the Fonz. Enjoy the scenery around it.

Tim Weinberg

Just like the TV show

Debra Kendrick

Very cool.

Ada Hanson

It was a 9 degree dusk. Drove up from Rockford, IL just to say I was in Milwaukee. Did a search, what is there to do in Milwaukee? Museums and other things came up but it was past five on a Sunday so no Pabst Mansion. What to do, what to do. I mean I don't just want to go there, step outside of the car, and get back in. So I thought...Milwaukee... Milwaukee!!! Happy Days!!! Low and behold, the Bronze Fonz. Plugged it into the Garmin and away we went. Parked a block away, walked down the hill. Got to the bridge and saw it across the street on the opposite side of the river from Rock Bottom. Stood next to it, got my picture. It's life size and boy is the Fonz tiny. I still wouldn't want to upset him because he could Carmine Ragusa my butt. So, I can say I've been to Milwaukee.

Lisa Holis

Another great photo op on the river front. 2nd time here. (last was 2015) the Fonz need a makeover. Needs a paint job or something. In the 3 years we were here, he has really let him self go. Still a great spot. Hard to find right now with the construction of the Well St. Bridge. Thanks to locals directed us there, come up from the south on Mason Street.

Kevin O'Brien

Fun photo op

Lorraine Melsheimer

Nice replica of the Fonz on the river walk.

Francois Parent

Fonzie very cool attitude. Like he always says ; balls are pretty dry today !

Coach Cole

Pretty cool. Take your pic with the Fonz

Jeremy Laughead

Nice homage to a piece of Milwaukee culture. It was humorous to watch a family take a picture with the sculpture and hear one of the kids ask," who is this guy anyway? "

Patrick Dugan

Ugliest bronze fonze I've ever seen.

Kyle Edmunds

Exactly what youd expect, worth every zero pennies to visit.

Emilio Radius

Horrible. A small dwarf. Milwaukee doesn't deserve such an horrible sculpture

Mel Janeway

It was pretty cool to see.

Sheila McNally

Great photo location

Ben Francis

Came all the way from Norwich UK to Milwaukee to meet my idol albeit in bronze, nonetheless everything I wanted it to be and more. 10/10 would recommend.

G Werra

I've traveled all over the land and can tell you that this is the best Bronze Fonz you will find!

Genevieve Hebeka

It's the Fonze! Can't beat it while walking in the pleasant and relaxing River Walk. Lots of fun little surprised along the way as well.

Kim Wiersma

Beautiful walk along the river. Took a picture with him.

Karin Markert

Quick stop along the riverfront walkway.

matt huffman

Awesome statue in a great location on the river. A historical part of Milwaukee that envokes pictures from locals and those visiting.

David Randolph

Two thumbs hey!

John Orr

The price in the value were great which / Waze the slowness of the service and the unnecessary standing around with getting nothing done or having to have this done in that time because of her so-called rules and regulations

Linda Kapovich

Very cool roadside attraction.

Gloria & Ron Witt

Sick a fun party of Milwaukee 414 !!!!!!

Cheryl Hawkins

Most awesome!!

Debra Wiedemann

All I can say is ayyyy! Happy Days!

Gina Girt

You gotta stop and see just because he’s the Fonz. It’s really great opportunity to laugh with others and take pictures for them. What a fun conversation starter!

Nick Mahan

One of the iconic photo ops along the Riverwalk

Mark Sowinski

A classic stop along the water front while in Milwaukee. Henry Winkler is frozen in Carbonite.

John Kuhnlein

The Fonz is much smaller than you you would expect it to be. He is not even on a pedestal.

dusty roller

There was tons of construction at the time and road closures which made it super hard to find. When we eventually found the statue it was pretty underwhelming but hey we finally saw it

Mark Rahr

It's the Fonz!!! How can you go wrong!!

Wendell Foshizzle

It needs polishing...but cool picture oportunity

Chris Webb

Just, so, cool

david munsell

IM 2ND COOLEST IN MKE,FACTS KIDS,LOL,

Joshua Widener

The Fonz is a little weathered now. Much shorter than I expected too. Worth stopping by though. Hopefully, you won't get yelled at by teens picking trash out the water. That was my only negative view. Other than that the area is a nice walk.

mike harmon

Great seeing the fonz

Gena Hagedorn

It was a fun trip downtown yesterday. We went with our pug group. It's a neat thing to see. Smaller than I thought. Downtown Milwaukee is a very unique place. Go check it out. #Riverwalk

wiliam agosto

My friends and I took a stroll on this dynamic Boardwalk... Must see if your into music, fun and social enterprising.. Best time weekends

Raymond Watson

Easy to find

Rob S

It's a good resemblance

Seth Moss

Easy to find...great views

Rick Omann

Fun to see a piece of TV history.

Aubrie Granata

Always a fantastic & quintessential Milwaukee thing to see!

Faith White

Loved happy days as a child. Ayyy in my fonzie voice

Ольга Демидова

This sculpture looks intimidatingly for me

Paul Shinkle

MKE icon. Bronze blue jeans, too.

Gralphi Richmond

Nice but too small, he was a small statured person, no reason to go 2/3's scale, it just makes a fun bit of Milwaukee dissipointing.

Natalie Kruzz

Bronze statue of Fonzi on the Riverwalk.

Jeff Burns

He's kind of a let-down. First, he's super- short- maybe 5' tall max. His face looks more like the Joker from batman than Henry Winkler. Fine for a laugh.

Miranda Steier

There isn't really a lot to the Bronze Fonz. It's a statue, of Fonzie, from Happy Days. Alright for a quick photo while you stroll along the beautiful Milwaukee Riverwalk.

Jack Chenet

Nice and peaceful but chilly.

Peggy Onwiler

It's Fonzie. Everybody loves the Fonz! Somebody had been taking a picture every time we've walked by this week.

Greg Stang

It was cool. Smaller than I expected. It was snowing when we were trying to take a picture so didn't stick around long.

Donaevlyn smith

Love the Fonz.

Amanda Wagner

Neat statue. Milwaukee icon. If visiting you have to get your picture with it.

Kathleen Anderson

Fonzy is a nice addition to the art walk along the river. Odd but Aaay, it's cool.

Sarah MushroomKiller

I dont knwo fonz, but my boyfriend wanted to take a look, so we took a selfie with him in the rain, hahaha

Xander Person

Ayyyy It's exactly what it says it is

Justin Vasquez

Super cool

Michael Seymour

On the water. Near a couple bars.

James Parker

He wasn't a great conversationalist, nevertheless I did enjoy meeting him.

George Lenzer

All I can say is 'Aaaaaaaaaaay'! That should be enough. :)

Paul Sardella

Nice tribute on the river walk. Make sure to try out the new Hop, Free transit trolley.

Joan Monk

Growing up in Milwaukee makes this a must stop whenever I have out of town guests. It's a fun stop along the river walk.

Tony Serio

Even the don's likes Brit Floyd

James Delp

Fun part of walking the "River Walk."

Derek Robinson

If you want a picture with the Fonz than this is the place. He's actually quite short.

Mike barnes

It's a statue fun to take a pic with but it's a statue

Bill Zimmerman

I mean, ayyyyy ... two thumbs up!

Viva la 70s

Great experience! Took my kids here on the way to S Dakota. This park is really nice. My cousin even got pooped on by a seagul. The statue is really nice and bears a really good likeness to Henry Winkler. Its even close to his real height! Definitely will be coming back. I love Milwaukee and Wisconsin!

Kathleen Wedlake

OK Took a few pics. Since he got there after I moved and never went there before.

Terri Sandblom

One of the stops along the river walk. If you were a “Happy Days” fan, worth stopping by and taking a snap.

Dov Kahn

Great bit of nostalgia for Milwaukee city. Spend five minutes over by the bridge and to do the Riverwalk. Definitely worth it. Fonzie could be repainted but it’s a little bit of trivia and great nostalgia for all of us old enough to remember happy days. Kool five min stop for a pic.

Tony Berger

Ahhhhh, it's alright, just take a picture and move along

Kahle Chips

Very cool to visit this piece of art. I went during the evening. While the night offers a different perspective to the area, I am willing to bet that the view is even better in the daytime. I recommend stopping by the Safehouse if you're in the area

Elizabeth Hutches

A little piece of quirky Americana history.

Matthew Suelflow

A quick, fun and free activity on the beautiful riverwalk. Pretty great selfie opportunity.

Chrissy L.

neat man.

Evan Gonzalez

Looks weird, but fun in a kitschy way

Judy LaPlante

The view is fabulous

Gary

Cool 70s memory of "the Fonz" played by Henry Winkler in the television series Happy Days! Stands on the Milwaukee downtown riverwalk with nice restaurants with a view of tour boats going by and under draw bridges.

Natalie P

We went in the evening and it is not well constructed... I'm not an artist but I felt like they could have done a better job at this. It's right by the river walk and, I guess the best part, it's free to see!

Horty Vilalpando

No hate it's cool place
