My hometown baseball team that is great fun for an inexpensive price. They are always accommodating your needs on game changes and anything you need! Been a season ticket holder for years and many more to come! Go Mallards 2019!!!
Best Madison area baseball environment. Fun for everyone even those that aren't avid baseball fans.
First game with unlimited access to food & beverages Great time!
Please check the latches on the bathroom doors, especially the one under the West Bend Club
Great game with fun in between innings. Always a good time at Mallards games.
So much fun, we had duck blind seats. The staff there was great. Food good. I do wish they had an adult bounce house or course. I had to go in with my friends kid. I know that sounds crazy but I would pay extra to have some adult fun and not worry about trampling a child.
The Mallards are a fun local team. Always a good time.
Prices for tickets, beer and food all went up again this summer. Unlike professional baseball, including nearby Beloit and Appleton MLB farm teams, the Mallards do not pay any of the players. They should pass those cost savings into lower ticket, beer and food costs. if were not going to have a professional team, let's at least make the prices reasonable.
I was at the game on 6/1/17, and there were double digits in errors (although many were not counted). Sometimes balls were overthrown two times in the same play, and once it happened in between hitters as infield tossed the ball around. This is entertaining in a Bad-News-Bears kind of way, but not in a 'Baseball like it outta be' kind of way. Do not expect a high level of play, and because the team players switch every year, it's hard to get too invested as a fan. Madison deserves to have baseball that includes future and past MLB players. This level of ball largely does not.
There are festivals and free music options virtually every night of Summer across Madison, and we do not have to pay $6.50 for a beer or $7 for a shot glass of wine. Or even buy a ticket. If owners refuse to become a MLB farm team, the smartest thing they could do is shave 50 cents off all the prices, and hold it there next year. Otherwise, people will find other things to do.

Fun to watch, but very expensive concessions. Milwaukee County Zoo is less expensive.
So much to do for all ages. High quality baseball, great ball park food and drinks at a reasonable price. Lots to see and do between innings.
Beautiful club and tons of stalls when the Mallards play..
Great time here with my family! Plenty of extra curricular activities to keep the crowd entertained between innings. food, snacks, drinks are very expensive, otherwise would ve been five star rating.
Great family fun. Also excellent food and craft beer selection
This is a great ballpark. The parking is free. The atmosphere is very nice for the family and kids and adults who want to enjoy a game with an adult beverage. They have little events going on the field between innings making it great fun for kids. They have large air-filled baseballs that the kids can tap around in the stands, they do a shirt toss, and many other fun things for the kids. The music playing between innings is also great. For $41 you can purchase "Duck Blind" seating which includes all food and drinks (included many varieties of beer). Mixed drinks are $3 per drink. It isn't assigned seating so get there early to reserve a group of tables and chairs. It fills up on the weekends. Great fun. Excellent price! I would go again for sure.
Duck blind is amazing and the baseball game was awesome.
Probably one of the best amateur baseball venues in the Midwest amazing atmosphere if you're going to try out the duck pond all you can eat beer and food for it about $20 make sure you have a designated driver the baseball is pretty good mostly college players from around the nation with a couple of local talents thrown in great atmosphere for kids
Great times to be had with friends. Good food and beer! Love the craft beer selection.
Great game, could be more handicapped accessible, as it was a lot of walking.
Great atmosphere for $10 admission. awesome way to spend a summer evening
Daughter caught first fly-ball on her first game. Very exciting for young kids. Little pricey for gift shop. Specifically, the plastic duck whistle we felt was pricey.
Great Game! Very family friendly with a lot of fun things for kids to do. Entertainment provided between innings.
They must have over sold the tickets to the duck blind. Way over crowded. Most people were standing around because of the lack of seating. Couldn't see much of the the field except the outer field. Game wasnt being called either so we had no idea what was going on. Free beer and food is great but when you can hardly see the game its not worth it.
Because I like to watch Mallards baseball game that I go to with anyone wants to come and watch and play and pick out cool Mallards gift shop.
I love the intimacy of a smaller ballpark! The updated duck blind is super. Great food and drinks, good seating, activities for little ones, reasonably priced, free parking close to entrance.
Always a great time with reasonable priced beer and treats
We watched Grease as a family night on Sunday afternoon. Really well organized and the staff was super friendly
Great place for a work event, or out with friends. So many good beers
Really great baseball experience and fan experience. The bat dog is a sight to see.
Duck blind is the way to go! All you can eat and drink!
Hadn't been in years - won't wait that long next time ... very good experience.
The Mallards are always fun to watch. I'd rather watch them than the Brewers. I prefer the relaxed spirit of the college league to MLB
The duck blind is the greatest thing ever. You get subpar mediocre food that is unlimited with unlimited local drafts from some pretty fantastic breweries. Such a huge selection of beers you're bound to find one you like and once you've had a couple the food starts looking pretty great. Price for admission is more than covered by the beer selection. Ohh there is sometimes a baseball game going on too I think.
Edit: the food could be just as good as that which is should directly outside the gates of the duck blind...
I absolutely love the Duck Blind. Greatest minor league baseball atmosphere out there.
Never a bad time. Great baseball, great beer, great drinks.
Worst Concessions EVER!!! I have never experienced such poor concessions at a sporting event. I went to get food twice during the game, stood in line for more than 30 minutes each time. That is RIDICULOUS! The staff seemed to have no clue as to what they are doing. There appeared to be about 15 people working behind the counter, nobody was talking to each other, and mass chaos was on full display. It should not take long to throw hot dogs/brats on a bun, or a hamburger on a bun considering the customers do all of the toppings themselves! Seriously, the food should be FLYING out of the concession stand instead of people waiting 15 minutes to order, only to then go stand in another line for 15+ minutes to get their food.
On top of the slowness, the food was AWFUL! And, the staff didn't even know what they were making. I had way over cooked/reheated cheese curds, and the beer cheese brat with beer onions was a JOKE! The description of the beer cheese brat is as follows: A brat 'smothered' with beer cheese and topped with 'grilled onions' that have been braised in beer. What did I get? I got a brat on an old, dry bun with about a spoonful of beer cheese on it - no onions. When I asked about the onions, the staff brought out plain, uncooked, white chopped onions and put about a tablespoons worth on my bun. The problem was, I saw them do the SAME EXACT thing to another gentlemen during my first visit to the concession stand - no onions, when he asked, they topped it with chopped, raw, white onions. It's like the staff doesn't even know what they are preparing or how to prepare it. Thai Bacon on a Stick? Awesome - yummy - no stick!
And, in the condiments area there is no brat mustard despite the fact that the ballpark serves BRATS!!!
I enjoyed the game, and some of the other concession areas like the nacho bar and the bbq joint do a much better job. But, if you're looking for good traditional ballpark food - save yourself about $20 by skipping the concessions at a Mallards game and getting something outside of the ballpark before and/or after the game. At this point I think the ballpark is doing the fan base a disservice by even having a concession stand run so poorly. They should just close it down.
Bottom line summary - food prices are too high for what you get, service is extremely slow, service accuracy on delivering what was ordered is below poor, looking up at dismal. I feel I got bait n switched by what was advertised on the menu versus what showed up! Sorry Mallards Concession team, you need to step it up big time. You are embarrassing yourselves.
The best baseball venue, hands down. We had a great time!
Fun!!! We've been many times, and always have a blast. The duck blind is a GREAT value!!!
I bought 2 tickets for the Duck Blind, and we had a fantastic time! Nice beer selection, and the food was delicious. Also a great crowd!
Best low leauge baseball venue I have been to with fun events and good food for fair prices.
A different kind of baseball experience compared to to the major league games. Much more personal.
This is a summer college ball league. It's perfect for bringing the kids to a first baseball game with low stress and good food.
A fun family atmosphere. If you are an adult The Duck Blind which was redone this year is the way to go. Better sight lines, views, and seating. A ticket to the game plus all you can eat and drink. Still get there early so you can get good seats. It gets crowded fast especially on weekends. Sit back and watch some college summer baseball.
Went to a Monday night game two weeks ago. Waited in line to order food. It took 50 minutes to get full order. Things came out ten minutes apart so by the time we got back to seats we missed one inning and had ice cold burgers, warm sodas, Luke warm fries, and warm chicken and brat. For paying over 50 dollars we expected to at least be able to eat 40% of the food. Ended up just with popcorn and cotton candy was all that was left. Emailed two managers including Vern with not even an apology. Used to have fun yrs ago. I guess since they have regular crowds now and not needing to heavily promote they don't care if they lose a few families. Sad.
Took our grandkids. Very family friendly. My hubby was the biggest kid of all. For him it was very nostalgic. Good old days.
Very nice view of the field from the mini Duck Blind. Food was good and the staff was very helpful.
Nice stadium and friendly crowd. I was in the duck blind with all you can drink beer and food. Would definitely go back.
Was a blessing .everyone who parked us was very helpful and caring..no smoking was wonderful. Just a great experience.
Great baseball experience for people who are nearly deaf and have Attention Deficit Disorder. Tried another game tonight. Just awful, unless you have kids who need constant overstimulation.
Great time for the entire family at a reasonable price.
Fantastic family fun! The staff is like nothing you have ever experienced at a ball park before. Something fun for every family member. Oh yeah, the team is solid as well!
They keep the baseball interesting with giveaways and stuff happening between innings.
Love the staff. Great ball park to get around. Easy to get concessions. Wiener!!!
First, we love the Mallards and the fun we have had there for years. Last night was not a fun experience. Arrived 45 minutes before game time, excited for the opener and hungry. After waiting 30 minutes to get through the gate, and then watching a dozen young workers with no supervision, whom had not been coached on how to prepare any of the menu items and had no direction we received our order in the third inning. Got to our seats in Section 204 to find the loudspeaker working on half of the announcers words, the pitch speed indicator not operating and complaining fans all around us. Not the fun night we were expecting. Obviously no dry run had been conducted which showed little regard to the 6500 fans who came expecting a good experience. The full time staff, even you Vern looked like deer in headlights. You are not new at this so I can only assume last night you decided to use opening night to be your dry run to prepare for the season. We won't be back for a while to find out how that work d for you.
Always fun and very family friendly. Also a good selection of beers to try.
Great affordable family entertainment. A must for the kids.
