Lunch

• Right within Frankenmuth River Place Shops, stop off for a quick bite to eat:
  • Grab brats, burgers, pizza, and more in casual digs at Cass River Bar & Grill. Insider tip: this spot is home to the River Place Game Room, with over 40 arcade games!
  • Taste delicious, homemade pasties at Pasty Haus and treat the kids to Bubble Tea or a unique Snow Ice treat.
  • Choose between sweet & savory crepes at La Crepe du Jour. (The kids will want the Cookie Dough flavor!)

Dinner

• Dine family-style on world-famous chicken dinners at Zehnder's Restaurant or Bavarian Inn Restaurant, with giant platters of golden fried chicken you’ll pass around the table while swapping stories about your first day in Frankenmuth. Can’t choose? Let the kids decide!
• After dinner, head up the street to Jaami’s Ice Cream & Treats for 40 flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, served in house-made waffle cones & bowls.

Morning

• Want to experience a six-story family raft ride? Dare to take the Perilous Plunge four stories straight down a tube slide? Zoom into Zehnder's Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark for two waterparks in one, each with a retractable roof!
• Whoop it up at Michigan's biggest indoor waterpark & family fun center, Bavarian Blast Waterpark at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. Brave 16 new waterslides & a wave pool, ride the not-so-lazy river, and try mini-golf to mini-bowling and a three-story ropes course!

Lunch

• Break for lunch on-site at whichever waterpark you’re enjoying that day, and have a blast!

Afternoon

• Board the Bavarian Belle Riverboat for a narrated history tour on the Cass River, or cruise in an electric-powered, 12-passenger tour boat with Frankenmuth FunShips.

Brunch

• Ease into your last day with a Sunday brunch buffet, served poolside in the indoor courtyard at Oma’s Restaurant inside the Bavarian Inn Lodge.

Morning

• You can’t leave Frankenmuth without visiting Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland! With over 50,000 trims & gifts, this store is the size of one-and-a-half football fields — and the kids will love picking their own personalized ornaments!

Lunch

• Still full from brunch, but want a quick bite before heading home? Find a food truck!
  • Bavarian Inn Cluck Truck and The Cheese Trap both serve up Frankenmuth flavors on-the-fly (and it might just be your kids’ favorite meal of the trip).
