GROUP ACTIVITIES AT LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

The Fortress Golf Course. One of Michigan's most beautiful courses with large greens and defiant bunkers, The Fortress is an 18-hole, par 72 course with 6,800 yards of play.

Riverboat Parties and Tours. You can almost hear the old river men calling out "Mark Twain!" as you take a leisurely paddleboat ride down the peaceful Cass River - a great way to unwind after a day of meetings!

Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland. The world's largest and best-known Christmas store! Everything Christmas is here, under one very large roof.

Enjoy the brilliant lights inside and on the grounds, and see the "World of Bronner's" multi-media show describing how Christmas can be shared around the world.

Birch Run Outlet Malls. The Prime Outlets at Birch Run - less than five miles from the Lodge - attract millions of shoppers each year, and offer some of the best deals on designer items in the State of Michigan.

Pretzel Rolling and Dipping. Indulge the child within! Learn the art of pretzel rolling, and layer your pretzel with pools of chocolate and mountains of goodies.

Grandpa Tiny's Farm. A working, historical farm that highlights the importance of Frankenmuth's agricultural history. There's a petting zoo for the kids, and seasonal demonstrations of horse plowing, planting and harvesting.

The Frankenmuth Riding Stable. Saddle up for some fun or a great team-building experience, and fall in love with one of earth's most amazing and beautiful animals. Don't forget to bring hard-soled boots or shoes, and take pictures of the kids on hand-led pony rides!

Bee Bee's Fun Place Foam Factory. Unleash the kids - or yourself - for an afternoon or evening of laughter, tossing or shooting thousands of brightly-colored foam balls around a two-story, well-padded playhouse with no rough edges. Then slip next door to Pedelar's Restaurant for a bit of nosh and a cool beer or soda pop.

Glockenspiel Concerts. Plan a customized, live Glockenspiel concert and delight in the uniquely Bavarian music that comes from our 35-bell carillion tower, played by a local "Spielest."
