Bronze Fonz

A life-size bronze statue of Fonzie, the lead character of the sitcom Happy Days. The classic thumbs-up pose is a favorite photo spot.

The Bronze Fonz was unveiled in 2008 beside Wells Street on the Riverwalk, honoring the 1970s and 1980s sitcom Happy Days, which was set in Milwaukee. The figure wears a leather jacket and gives a double thumbs-up, making it the most popular photo spot for visitors. The statue is free to see and can be viewed 24 hours a day. It sits beside the Riverwalk and the downtown theater district, so a few minutes’ stop on your way past is all you need.
