Frankenmuth River Place Shops, Frankenmuth

40 shops, all connected. You walk outside and enjoy the decorations, the music, and the fairy garden. They have many specialty shops, that carry very different merchandise, don't forget to check out the bakery and the store for cat's and dogs. They have an arcade also. Restaurant are with in the path. You also can take your pet for a great stroll, take very great pictures of a waterfall and the covered bridge. The only store I would not recommend is the Frankenmuth store, high priced and really touristy. Be sure to check out the store Sticky things, this place has honey, syrup, butter, oils and all kinds of yummy tea's. You can sample all their products and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about where their merchandise is made and for health benefits they carry so much and the staff is, well I cannot say enough, they also offer to but online, a definite must stop.

Lots of specialty shops, all clean. The arcade is decent sized and fun for the kids. Drinks at the bar were yummy and they had a surprisingly good selection of beers on tap. The bathrooms and the cafeteria definitely needed some attention. Likely die to staffing issues that everyone seems to be experiencing.
