• Family-Friendly Entertainment

Home to the largest Family Fun Center in any Michigan hotel and Michigan’s Biggest Indoor Waterpark, Bavarian Inn Lodge offers families endless opportunities for fun! As you enter the Family Fun Center, you will be greeted by dozens of arcade games and a pool area with two waterslides! Families can also enjoy Dragon’s Lair Laser Tag, a 3-story ropes course, climbing walls, mini-golf, mini-bowling, and our ice cream shop, Emilie’s Eis!

The newest addition to Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge and the reason so many families visit time and time again is Bavarian Blast Waterpark! When designing the newest water park Frankenmuth has to offer, we wanted every guest, ages 1 to 101, to have something to do! For the smallest of guests, we have Puddles Platz, an area with gentle waterslides, water features, and swings! The older kids and adults may enjoy all 16 of our epic waterslides and our activity pool with basketball hoops. Guests 21 and older may enjoy the indoor-outdoor swim-up bar, which is also the first swim-up bar to open in Michigan! The whole family can come together and enjoy the not-so-lazy river, indoor-outdoor spa, and wave pool!
