Willkommen to Michigan's Little Bavaria

WILLKOMMEN TO A WINTER WONDERLAND


Winter in Frankenmuth feels like stepping into a snow globe. Twinkling lights line the streets, fresh snow dusts the Bavarian architecture, and the magic of the Christmas season is felt well into the New Year.

Slow down and savor the season — gather around a world-famous chicken dinner, glide across the Frankenmuth Ice Rink, or escape the chill at TWO of Michigan’s largest indoor waterparks. Be sure to explore our Events Calendar for upcoming winter festivals and seasonal celebrations.

There is so much winter magic waiting in 800-FUN-TOWN. Whether you’re visiting for a day or a weekend, Frankenmuth makes every moment of the season unforgettable.
