Frankenmuth: Rain or Shine
Rain may not be in your Frankenmuth travel plans, but don’t let a few raindrops dampen your experience!
No matter the weather, the forecast is always calling for FUN in Michigan’s Little Bavaria.
Start with a Warm Welcome!
Begin your day with a hot cup of coffee from Creation Coffee or N’Orlins Beignets & Coffee, or a cozy breakfast at T.Dub’s Pizzeria & Pub, La Crepe du Jour, or daVinci’s Italian Restaurant. These spots are perfect for a relaxed start to your morning.
Shop ’Til the Raindrops Stop
A little rain is the perfect excuse to explore the charming shops of Frankenmuth. Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland, the world’s largest Christmas store, is a must-visit no matter the season. Browse the endless holiday displays, find the perfect ornament, and enjoy a little Christmas magic while staying dry indoors.
For something truly unique, stop by Frankenmuth Clock Company to admire intricate cuckoo clocks or browse German imports at The Bavarian Inn Castle Shops. And don’t forget to get yourself a sweet treat at Zak & Mac’s Chocolate Haus, Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen or Kernel Benny's Popcorn!
Indulge in Indoor Fun
With plenty of indoor activities, Frankenmuth’s charm shines through—even if the sun doesn't! If you enjoy hands-on experiences, visit the Michigan Heroes Museum for a fascinating look at the state’s military and space history. For something more interactive, head to the Bavarian Blacksmith Experience to forge your own creations!
Cloudy with a Chance of Relaxation
After a day of exploring, unwind with a soothing spa treatment at Serendipity Wellness Spa or cozy up with a new read from Charlin’s Book Nook. Beer lovers can take shelter from the rain at Frankenmuth Brewery, sipping craft brews while admiring scenic views of the Cass River. If wine is more your style, relax with a tasting at Prost! Wine Bar & Charcuterie, St. Julian Wine Co. or Modern Craft.
End the Day with Comfort Food
Cap off your rainy day adventure with a world famous chicken dinner at Bavarian Inn Restaurant or Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth! Nothing beats a warm meal when it’s chilly and rainy outside.
A bit of rain is no reason to stay indoors—it’s the perfect chance to soak up Frankenmuth’s cozy charm. Grab an umbrella, head out, and experience the best of Michigan’s Little Bavaria, rain or shine!
