At Buoy 18, fun has been a family tradition for over 25 years. Family owned and operated from the very beginning, Buoy 18 was built to give families, friends, and visitors a place to relax, laugh, and make memories together right here in the Bay City area.

What started as a local favorite has grown into a go-to destination for family fun, sweet treats, and classic entertainment. Whether you're stopping in for hand dipped ice cream, challenging someone to mini golf, grabbing a bubble tea, or spending time in the arcade, Buoy 18 is all about creating experiences that bring people together.

We believe the best memories are made through simple moments. A first hole-in-one, sharing ice cream on a summer night, hearing kids laugh in the arcade, or enjoying a casual outing with family and friends. That’s what Buoy 18 has been about for more than two decades.

As a locally owned business, we’re proud to serve families from Bay City, Midland, Saginaw, and surrounding communities. Our goal has always been to provide a fun, welcoming atmosphere where everyone can enjoy themselves, no matter their age.

From longtime customers who have been visiting for years to first-time guests discovering us for the first time, we’re grateful to be part of so many family traditions and summer memories.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Buoy 18 and help you create a few more memories of your own.
