1. FAMILY-STYLE

You can't leave Frankenmuth without having an all-you-can-eat Frankenmuth chicken dinner. Head to Zehnder's of Frankenmuth for a more traditional, colonial atmosphere. Or, go directly across the street to Bavarian Inn for German flare.

2. TRENDY DINING

Try something new, but delicious, on your next quick trip. K's Cafe and Honey B's Eatery both offer fresh and tasty eats!

3. CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR ROUND

Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland is the World's Largest Christmas Store, need we say more? Your trip isn't complete unless you've heard the cheery Christmas music, seen all the trims and gifts (more than 50,000!) or walked the showroom spanning nearly two football fields in size.

4. SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP

Explore more than 35 boutiques that line the "streets" of the Frankenmuth River Place Shops, a shopping center modeled after a German village.

5. GO CUCKOO

Frankenmuth Clock & German Gift Co. will have you marveling at their handcrafted, authentic German cuckoo clocks, music boxes, nutcrackers, and more. More than one-hundred are displayed on the sales floor!

6. LET'S ROLL

Try a hands-on activity like rolling a traditional German pretzel at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant. Reservations required.

7. GET LOST

Lose yourself on a horse-drawn carriage ride through Little Bavaria by Fantasy Carriage Company, Inc., or The New Frankenmuth Carriage Company.

8. SCENIC ROUTE

Don't miss a ride on the Bavarian Belle Riverboat, or a serene wine and chocolate pairing tour on the Frankenmuth FunShips. See town from the river's view with Frankenmuth Kayak Adventures.

9. OUTDOOR EXCURSION

End your summer trip to Frankenmuth at the Frankenmuth Aerial Park, a six-course zip-line and ropes course.

10. 1-800-FUN-TOWN

More than 15 festivals and events take place year-round. Plan a day trip around a festival for a fun night out, or stay overnight to enjoy the entire event!
