Fun, Food, Shopping...OH MY!
Good attendance is important to almost every group time-and-time again, we hear from groups that
attendance increased when hosting their function in Frankenmuth! The unique array of things to
do helps to make all events a success. So if you are looking for a unique way to entertain a small
professional group, you might consider a wine & chocolate sampling on an electric boat. Have a
larger group? Consider a cruise or privately catered event aboard an authentic paddlewheel riverboat.
If your group likes to golf, have them hit the links on one of Michigan’s top 5 golf courses. Group
activities? Try pretzel rolling, a museum or woolen mill tour or explore the World’s Largest Christmas
store. Does your group offer a spousal program? We’ll make it easy for you…Frankenmuth IS the
spousal program!
If you are hosting a social group or a reunion, with more time to play, your guests may enjoy a mix
of activities including abundant and unique shopping, woolen mill tours, wine sampling and brewery
tours, or one of the many recreational opportunities available in Frankenmuth’s beautiful parks.
Or maybe you will choose to plan your group’s visit around one of Frankenmuth’s many festivals &
events for even more fun!
Are your guests on their own for meals? They’ll love the selection in Frankenmuth! There are tastes
for every palate ~ from world-famous chicken dinners & brew pubs to quaint family dining and
