I came here on a field trip with the littles. This was a place we had always intended on visiting,…read moreand well, I am finally here. It is like a small Greenfield Village, but smaller and way less expensive, except for the train, which is a bit pricey, but they ride is quite long. Not too many places for kids to eat during the field trip, so that was a downfall. I would have liked to have looked around the ice cream and treat area, sounded yummy. Most of the kids liked the train ride, but it was a bit long for the littles, they got bored. I enjoyed going around the area, it was fun for me. The kids then got to see a comedy magic show. They absolutely loved it, I have never heard small children laugh out loud so much, so please let the gentleman in the picture who performed know he now has many new fans. We were able to walk around about two small buildings before we had to leave, so I did not get to see much more. My child enjoyed our time there and would like to visit again. For me, it was fun, but I don't know if I need to come back except if my other child wants to check it out.

This park is part of your history if you spent much time in Genessee County…read more Family reunions, picnics, senior skip day, class reunion picnics, birthday parties, and what I observed more recently was graduation celebrations. Well heck, why not? This place is lush. Mature landscape, recently added bike paths, a BMX track that someone I know personally had voluntarily helped maintain. I hear this part of the park gets lots of attention. Since I don't live in this area and the habitat is quite different from where I call home I feel like I'm in a whole new place from what I remember. What is missing is the original pieces on the playground. Seriously, where is the thing that you sit on and someone pushes it in circles until you feel like you're gonna fly off because of the centrifugal force. And the swings? Why were those things removed. Was interesting to learn some of the history of how this place came to be. Huge Sugar Maples and Oak trees, wild Strawberries, crazy amounts of lush Moss, Plantain, and other various cover that blanket the ground under that canopy. Beautiful escape from the crazy that is life. A place to tune out and get grounded. Literally. Just take off your shoes. MI residents, you're lucky to have this park. Treat it well.

The waterpark is amazing. They've done a great job. I'm providing multiple options. My three…read moregrandchildren were old enough to ride pretty much everything. It's expensive because everything is sort of à la carte but I would highly recommend this place. My granddaughter's age is 9 to 14. Loved everything about the waterpark. The slides are pretty high up and this grandma wouldn't mind an elevator to get to the top because those stairs are difficult but overall it really is a great park. I've been to a lot of water parks and I would rate this one pretty high. I can tell you they are very serious about water safety. They have lifeguards posted everywhere I would like to suggest that they put washers and driers in their hotel. They are a waterpark and people do need to dry their clothes for the next day at the waterpark. Also, the mattresses are horribly uncomfortable. Maybe it's time to upgrade those.

We had an awesome time at Bavarian Blast Waterpark. This place is massive! Tons of fantastic water…read moreslides for both kids and adults, a cute little wave pool, a lazy river, and even a full water basketball area with multiple hoops. But our favourite part? The adults-only swim area and bar, which extends outside. Even in the colder weather, it was incredible; the water was perfectly hot/warm and made for such a relaxing experience. Overall, we had a super fun time here and definitely recommend checking it out if you're staying in Frankenmuth! For more travel and food reviews, check out our YouTube channel -- A&M Roam!

Recently planned a meet up at Wilderness trails zoo with some family. It had been a few years since…read moreany of us have been there, and seeing it now, with many renovations completed, it looks fantastic, and functions with a much better flow. The entrance, and gift shop, is easily 4 times it's original size; and they always have the cutest collection of plushes. The grounds, and habitats appeared well maintained. The animals were all quite active, playful, and seemed to be healthy; the petting farm area is always a must stop when you visit. The staff are great too; friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The zoo now offers animal experiences for an extra fee, which can be purchased online or at the entrance, adding a more private element of fun. I will say though, I was really bummed that the Rainforest area was now only open as an "experience" purchase. Years ago it was easily my favorite exhibit, but unfortunately is now out of my price range, especially for a family (as I found the experience costs to be a bit high), so we were unable to see it. Overall we all really enjoyed our outing at the Wilderness Trails Zoo. They did a great job keeping the walk area around the zoo shaded, you could find animal feeding stations and hand sanitizer in many locations, seating widely available, a picnic/eating area, prepackaged ice cream bars/dippin dots in store, children's playground, clean restrooms, and plenty of parking available as you first arrive. This zoo is definitely worth the visit, and I'm sure I'll be having another day trip here again soon.

The Southern Links Trailway is a 10.2 mile long asphalt paved trail that connects the communities…read moreof Columbiaville, Otter Lake, and Millington. The trail is well maintained trails and offers a safe and scenic biking, hiking and horseback riding destination to the areas. The trail has markers every 1/4 mile which is great way to track your distance traveled and perhaps to encourage you to go just a little further or even motivate you to try to complete a full loop (20+ miles)! Each of the adjoining cities have parking areas at the trailheads. Parking in Columbiaville is off of Water Street between the Columbiaville Branch Library and Curley's Lakehouse Grill. The trailway in Otter Lake is close to the midpoint and also the high elevation point of the path. This is also the location of the Otter Lake Recreational Area Skate Park. A small area with wooded ramps for bikers and skateboarders. Also nearby is a Marathon Gas Station and Otter Lake Pizza. Park between Payne Street and Detroit Street, just south east of where Lake Road crosses the trail. The Millington trailhead parking area is on at the south east end of Gleason Street about two blocks south of Main Street past Cardinal Drive. Keep looking it's there. The trail does not allow motorized vehicles. Horses are also allowed along the trail, but should follow the easements adjacent to the pavement when available. Go, have fun!
