Lake Geneva just got a whole lot more fun. Area 262 has officially opened, and it's about to become your new favorite hangout spot.


This isn't your typical entertainment venue. It's Lake Geneva's newest indoor entertainment playground where adults get to be kids again.


Game. Drink. Socialize.


What Is Area 262?

Think of Area 262 as the ultimate adult playground meets sports bar meets party venue. Challenge your friends to mini golf, throw axes at targets, play unlimited games, enjoy pizza and drinks, and basically let loose in the best way possible. Located right in Lake Geneva, it combines multiple entertainment options under one roof, making it perfect for date nights, group outings, birthday parties, or just a fun Tuesday when you need to blow off some steam.


The Main Attractions

Unlimited Game Play

This is perfect for groups who want variety. Play a round of air hockey, then switch to foosball, shoot some hoops, or challenge someone to shuffleboard.

9 Holes of Mini Golf

At $15 per person, enjoy 9 exciting holes of indoor mini golf with a twist: three holes are pool table height putting style. Challenge your friends and show off your putt. The course is designed to be fun for all skill levels, whether you're a mini golf pro or just there for the laughs. Free game play is included with your mini golf purchase.

Interactive Axe Throwing

Interactive projection axe throwing is surprisingly fun and surprisingly therapeutic. Whether you're a first timer or a seasoned thrower, you'll have a blast hitting the targets and competing with your crew.

Pricing: $25 per 30 minutes or $35 per 60 minutes per person. Free game play is included with one throwing purchase.

Area 262 features a full bar with a great selection of beer, wine, and soda. They've got TVs for watching sports, lounge seating for relaxing between games, and the perfect vibe for keeping the good times rolling.

Pizza by Wayne's

Locally sourced and ridiculously delicious. Choose from 10 inch and 14 inch pizzas including classic cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and garbage (yes, that's what it's called, and yes, it's loaded with everything). Perfect fuel for your gaming marathon.

  • Monday through Thursday: 4pm to 8pm

  • Friday: 4pm to 10pm

  • Saturday: 11am to 10pm

Perfect hours for after work fun, weekend adventures, or turning your lazy Sunday into an active Sunday.


Why Area 262 Is a Game Changer for Lake Geneva

Let's be honest: Lake Geneva has always been amazing for outdoor activities, beautiful scenery, and excellent dining. But when it comes to indoor entertainment, especially during those cold Wisconsin months, options have been limited. Area 262 changes that completely.


Here's why this place matters:

Year Round Fun: Weather doesn't matter when all the fun is indoors and climate controlled.

Variety: Multiple activities mean everyone in your group will find something they love.

Great Value: Unlimited game play for $10 is an incredible deal.

Adults Focused Vibe: This isn't a Chuck E. Cheese situation. It's designed for grown ups who want to have fun.

Social Experience: Everything here encourages interaction, competition, and bonding.

Event Ready: Whether it's 4 friends or 100 people, they can accommodate your group.

Perfect Date Night Spot

Area 262 is perfect for couples. Activities give you something to do and talk about, naturally breaking any awkward silences. Plus, a little friendly competition can be pretty flirty.

Date night suggestion: Start with mini golf as an ice breaker, move to the bar for drinks and pizza, play some billiards or air hockey, maybe try axe throwing if you're feeling brave, then end the night challenging each other to one more game. It's fun, interactive, and way more memorable than staring at each other across a restaurant table.

Great for All Seasons

One of the best things about Area 262 is that it's perfect any time of year.

  • Summer: When you need a break from the sun and want air conditioned fun

  • Fall: Perfect for those rainy autumn days

  • Winter: Ideal when it's too cold to be outside

  • Spring: Great option when Wisconsin weather can't make up its mind

Lake Geneva's outdoor activities are amazing, but now there's finally a solid indoor option that's just as fun.


Plan Your Visit

Ready to check out Lake Geneva's newest entertainment destination? Here's what you need to know:

Pro Tips:

  • Call ahead for golf simulator reservations as they book up quickly

  • Groups of 20 or more should email ahead of time

  • Arrive early on weekends for best availability

  • Try the garbage pizza

  • Don't be intimidated by axe throwing. It's easier than it looks.

  • Take advantage of the unlimited game play. $10 for all day access is an incredible deal.


The Bottom Line

Area 262 is exactly what Lake Geneva needed: a fun, casual, activity packed venue that works for everyone. Whether you're local or visiting, whether you're 21 or 71, whether you're competitive or just there for laughs, Area 262 delivers.

It's the kind of place that turns a regular Tuesday into an adventure, makes birthday parties memorable, gives couples something fun to do together, and provides that perfect different option when someone asks "what should we do tonight?"


Lake Geneva just got a whole lot more interesting. Grab your friends and come play.


Game. Drink. Socialize. See you at Area 262!
