We wanted to quickly congratulate one of our favorite partners, Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge, on the opening of their new indoor waterpark, Bavarian Blast!
The highly anticipated attraction brings 170,000 square feet of expanded fun to the lodge including 16 waterslides, a not-so-lazy river, a huge wave pool, private cabanas, and more! The Bavarian Inn has also declared the opening of Michigan’s first Dual Mat Racing Slides, expertly built by WhiteWater West.
Four new food and beverage experiences have also been added to the catalog of various restaurants at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Resort including a quick service café, a smoothie bar, a bar serving snacks and alcoholic beverages. The Bavarian Inn team is particularly excited about introducing Michigan’s first Swim-Up Bar to their guests and the Michigan tourism industry. This experience will allow visitors the exclusive opportunity to lounge in a heated indoor-outdoor pool all year long whilst savoring refreshing cocktails and canned beverages.
Beyond the Bavarian Blast Waterpark, guests can explore the expanded Family Fun Center inside which now includes a Three-Story Rope Course, Rock Climbing Walls, Mini-Bowling, Build-A-Bear Workshop®, Laser Tag, and an expanded arcade with over 180 arcade and redemption games.
Much of this is already available online through their Inntopia Commerce booking engine alongside their other experiences like lodging, dining, and activities. For example, you can purchase date-specific Bavarian Blast tickets…

…as well as a variety of cabana rentals in the same cart as their rooms, dining reservations, and other activities.

This quote from their president, Michael Keller Zehnder, perfectly sums up both why they invested in this addition and where they’re going as a destination.
“Throughout the four generations of leadership at Bavarian Inn, our mission has always been to create enjoyable experiences. This expansion stands as a testament to our continuous dedication to this pursuit.”
A big congrats to the team at Bavarian Inn! To learn more about all of their experiences, visit:
