While here, will you get your hands into a German pretzel rolling experience, or enjoy being served world-famous chicken dinners by ladies in dirndls and lads in lederhosen? Should you walk the Bavarian Inn Holz Brücke (Frankenmuth's famous covered wooden bridge) or ride across in a horse-drawn carriage? Fudge or taffy, St. Julian Winery or Frankenmuth Brewery? The answer is all of the above... and then some! Let this guide give you a taste of the top things to do in Frankenmuth:

Zehnder's or Bavarian Inn?

Situated directly across the street from one another, both Zehnder's of Frankenmuth and Bavarian Inn Restaurant serve world-famous, family-style chicken dinners. Both pay homage to German heritage, both serve authentic German delights like Schnitzel and Sauerbraten, and both offer exquisite dining experiences. So, Zehnder's or Bavarian Inn? The answer can only be both! Make time to experience each and be sure to explore their lower-level shops and bakeries.

Go Wild at Waterparks

Dive right into the 50,000-square-foot mecca that is Zehnder's Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark — named one of "30 Top Indoor Waterparks around the World" — or ride the waterslides and enjoy indoor, 18-hole mini golf at Bavarian Inn Lodge, home to the largest family fun center inside any Midwest hotel.

Cruise the Cass River

Or, stay dry, but still enjoy the picturesque Cass River that flows through Frankenmuth on a narrated sightseeing tour aboard the Bavarian Belle Riverboat, a Wine & Chocolate Tasting River Tour with Frankenmuth FunShips, or a self-guided paddle with Frankenmuth Kayak Adventures.
