It’s a tired cliché, but time sure does fly. July 2015 marks 10 years since we introduced Zehnder’s Splash Village to our guests. Since our official opening on June 17, 2005 with 146 rooms and nearly 20,000 square feet of indoor water park space, over 1,000,000 “Splash” guests have given us the “thumbs up” as a fun, family destination. While our focus has always been families, our first phase of Zehnder’s Splash Village has a particular focus on families with young children. Water features geared toward children age 2-12.
The excitement exhibited by our guests over our initial water park, known as Splash Park, gave us the confidence to develop a water park that appeals to teens and young adults. The opening of Atrium Park, in October of 2014, provides fun and excitement for families of all age groups.
Whether you enjoy drop slides, family raft rides, water volley ball, a lazy river or an action river or simply lounging around an outdoor pool on a beautiful summer day in Michigan, Zehnder’s Splash Village has something for everyone. Our ability to open the roof of Atrium Park provides an indoor/outdoor experience unlike any water park in Michigan. It’s just a great feature.
If you’ve yet to make your summer plans or if Frankenmuth is on your way to someplace else, stop in. Bring the family. Whether you can stay for just a bit or a few days, see what we’ve got waiting for you. Have a Great Summer!
Al Zehnder, CEO of Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth
