The Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth has opened the Bavarian Blast Waterpark, billed as “Michigan’s biggest indoor waterpark and family fun center.”
The 170,000-square-foot attraction includes 16 waterslides, a “not-so-lazy” river, a large wave pool, private cabanas, Michigan’s first swim-up bar, and more.
The Bavarian Inn also has opened the state’s first dual mat racing slides, built by WhiteWater West. The new park is available to overnight guests and limited day pass visitors.
Four new food and beverage experiences have been added at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Resort, including a quick service café, a smoothie bar, a bar serving snacks and alcoholic beverages, and the swim-up bar where visitors will have the exclusive opportunity to lounge in a heated indoor-outdoor pool with cocktails or canned beverages.
Beyond the Bavarian Blast Waterpark, the indoor Family Fun Center includes a three-story rope course, rock climbing walls, mini-bowling, the build-a-bear workshop, laser tag, and an expanded arcade with more than 180 arcade and redemption games.
“Throughout the four generations of leadership at Bavarian Inn, our mission has always been to create enjoyable experiences,” says Michael Keller Zehnder, president of Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge. “This expansion stands as a testament to our continuous dedication to this pursuit.”
The Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Resort is a premier Midwest destination for families and groups seeking new experiences in lodging, dining, shopping, special events, and conference services.
The resort features the Bavarian Inn Restaurant, Bavarian Inn Lodge, Frankenmuth River Place Shops, and the ResidenZ at Bavarian Inn.
Nestled along the banks of the Cass River in Frankenmuth, Bavarian Inn Lodge, which has been open for nearly 40 years, has booked 2.5 million total room-nights.
The lodge, currently managed by the third and fourth generation Bavarian Inn family members, features 360 European-themed guest rooms, including whirlpool and family suites, an adult-only pool and whirlpool, two gift shops, two lounges, two restaurants, nightly entertainment year-round, and weekend family karaoke.
As part of the new offerings, the Bavarian Inn is hosting several special grand opening events throughout the spring. Overnight rooms that include up to four waterpark passes are available online, as well as limited day passes. Management encourages guests to book online via bavarianinn.com/.
