WANDER
Discover the magic of “Michigan’s Little Bavaria” with a group tour of Frankenmuth. Experience the city’s German heritage at the Frankenmuth Historical Museum, or check out the town’s key landmarks during a “Historical Walking Tour” with the Frankenmuth Historical Association. For a truly immersive experience, visit the Castle Museum of Saginaw County History, where exhibits feature historical and cultural artifacts from the region’s past. For a look at the state’s military history, consider a visit to the Michigan Heroes Museum.
SHOP
Take home some authentic Bavarian goods after a visit to the Frankenmuth Woolen Mill—the perfect location for both the history lovers and shoppers of your group. Open since 1894, the business is currently one of the nation’s largest wool bedding manufacturers. Frankenmuth is also home to the world’s largest Christmas store, Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. The store’s showroom spans the length of about 1 1/2 football fields. For more classic Bavarian goods, bring your group to a one-of-a-kind store like Bavarian Clothing & Imports of Frankenmuth, Amazin’ Mitten, or Bavarian Inn Castle Shops.
SAVOR
For a true taste of Bavaria, look no further than Bavarian Inn Restaurant, offering authentic cuisine like schnitzel and knackwurst. For an evening out on the town, swing by Frankenmuth Brewery for a refreshing pint following a long day of shopping and exploring. For a sweet (or salty) treat, take some time to visit Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen, Kernel Benny’s Popcorn, or Sugarrush Sweets & Treats.
