WELCOME TO ODYSSEY FUN CENTER

Odyssey Fun Center opened its doors in 1985, and it's been a home for bowlers, families and friends ever since.

For many years the center was owned by David Bardon, who grew up in a bowling family. He also had a passion for science, which led him to a master's degree in environmental science, a job at Kohler, and eventually his own company, E&K Hazardous Waste Services. But bowling always pulled him back, and running Odyssey became a big part of his story.

In 2022, David passed the torch to longtime manager Scott Kramer. Scott knows this building, this staff and these bowlers better than anyone. Under his ownership, Odyssey is locally owned and operated, and it's still the same place our community has counted on for decades.

Next time you're in, stop by and say hi to Scott!

The Odyssey Bar & Grill hosts entertainment options for all ages, from digital jukebox hits to Saturday comedy nights, there's something for everyone in this modern lounge. We can only imagine what music played in the 80s when the building was first constructed. Or what kind of food and drinks were served. If you or someone you know were a guest then, we'd love to know your experiences! Visit in person or kindly share with "Odyssey History" in the subject line to info@bowlingsheboygan.com.

You won't find typical bar food at Odyssey. This is Wisconsin, so we know our cheese. Curds are made with real Wisconsin cheese, people crave our stone pizzas with signature flavor combos, and shareable nachos and pretzels are just a couple examples of our favorite options. From burgers to bar bites, come hungry because we believe our fun mission extends to food, too! We're dedicated to ensuring each meal is made with care. Beer, wine, and specialty cocktails are also served daily. At Odyssey, guests can dine and drink with or without bowling.

Since the beginning, league bowlers flock to the center, along with athletes, politicians, and partygoers. We've become a community fixture, facilitating outings and financially contributing to many local organizations. Companies, churches, and schools have all experienced bowling at Odyssey Fun Center.

But we know a new era of bowling has begun. New generations of bowlers come for Kids Bowl Free, at a field trip, or even join a league. Owner David Bardon helped create Bowling 2.0, a free 4-week curriculum that introduces new folks to bowling. Families join the fun with Weekly to Do Daily Deals. Our passion for all things bowling remains. Whether your score features more gutter balls or strikes, you play every week or stopped in for a party, or you prefer dining to bowling, all are welcome. Odyssey Fun Center is a place for people of all ages and abilities, and we’re glad you’re here. After all, fun is our business.
