Frankenmuth is a Four-Season Gem

While Frankenmuth is known as a magical Christmas destination, this charming town is perfect at any time of the year. In the spring, the city comes alive with vibrant colour, boasting 350 hanging baskets and thousands of flowers throughout its streets. Shake off those winter blues and experience the beauty of "Little Bavaria" in full bloom.

Art. Culture. Nature. Gardens

Spring is a vibrant season at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, with tulips, cherry blossoms, and butterflies at their peak. As the premier sculpture park in the U.S., the gardens feature a permanent collection of over 50 major works, including Spider by Louise Bourgeois. This iconic piece is reminiscent of Maman, another spider sculpture by the same artist displayed at the National Gallery of Canada.

Unique Shopping!

Downtown Frankenmuth is easy to walk around and explore. There are lots of interesting shops with unique items. A perfect spot to find some special gifts, or just stroll the street and take in the ambiance, you can almost believe you landed in Bavaria.
