The aerial park is a combination of ladders, bridges, climbing elements and zip lines spread throughout acres of wooded beauty. Climbers proceed from platform to platform through the course elements, then enjoy a short zip to the next set of elements. Our newest course, FrankenZip, is a fan-favorite with 7 long zip lines at heights ranging from 15 – 35 feet off the ground.

Our small group of 3 was in Frankenmuth, and we just happened on this and decided to try it. We are so glad we did it! We've done a lot of rooms and this is possibly the best one yet. (We did "the Heist") This is a high tech room, with a lot of great ideas! Staff was excellent (Jenny and the desk guy-sorry didn't catch your name.) Awesome! Awesome!

This is the worlds best Christmas Store in the world. It has merchandise for all types of personal interests, all world religions and languages, gifts for all types of personal occupations, Santa Claus interests and Christmas stories and traditions. Also all ornaments both hand crafted and purchased from other organizations. This exhibits all types of year round interests from Halloween, Thanksgiving, St Valentines Day, St Patricks Day and of Course Easter and Lenton season. Of course all summer patriot occasions such as Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day are emphasized as their tradition of remembering this occasion 361 days a year open. At present store hours are 10 AM until 7 PM due to this Covio crisis. I will upload on what the leaves are expected to look this week up until about Election Day. I was emailed by the Michigan travel bureau that they are available to enjoy at present and a good time to do holiday browsing before holiday rush begins both in stores and on highways.

Reviewed By silverbrook - London, Canada
Frankenmuth River Place Shops is a great collection of unique shops and cafes that fit in with the Bavarian style of the town. The area is set up like a little village with paths that wind through the different shops as well as sitting areas, a water feature, and common areas where there is live music at times. The main entrance through the town is via a bridge over the Cass River. This entrance also gives you easy access to the river boat ride that takes you for a leisurely cruise along the water. There is another entrance with lots of parking on the other side of the shopping area. Although there are some chain shops such as the Yankee Candle Company, there are also some unique stores in this little mall as well such as the Enchanted Forest, which also has a little outdoor display that is adorable. There is a little something for everyone in this eclectic group of shops

I'm glad I listened to the reviews that said to start your trip to Frankenmuth here first. We went in and requested the free coupon books and picked up the gnome scavenger hunt for the kids. I saved some money at some of the places I had planned to shop at anyways, and the scavenger hunt occupied the kids as we browsed. Us adults even had fun trying to spot the gnomes too!
