What you might like to do while you are here is go shopping at one of the many stores or bakeries. They've created a Christmas experience like you have never seen before. Bronner's is the world's largest Christmas store, and it's quite a sight to behold. It's a vast, swirling wonderland of sparkling white pleasure. Let it fill your senses with cascading, fluffy pillows of excitement and comfort as you've never felt before. The city also has horse drawn carriages that you can ride to see the many sights the city has to offer. During the winter they have Zehnder's Snowfest. People come from all around around to see the dazzling ice sculptures made by the talented participants.
The food here is to die for. You have genuine German cuisine at both Bavarian Inn and Zender's. They serve a German-style chicken dinner, with each restaurant putting their own spin on the traditional dish with scrumptous results. Bavarian Inn in particular serves many German favorites, such as pretzels, schnitzel, spatzel, sauerkraut, and even more! They even serve alcohol, with an excellent selection, including their very own beer!
The hotels in town are fascinating pieces of architecture, but offer a fun, family-friendly, and comfortable stay. The two largest ones in the area, the Bavarian Inn and Zehnder's Splash Village, are the most popular. As you drive past the Inn, you'll see that beautiful Bavarian flair, and if you step inside, you'll see bits of history. Pictures adorn the walls of the many families and faces who have lived in the area, worked in the hotel, or maybe even a famous celebrity or two who has dropped by! Zehnder's Splash Village has a fun, mystical theme, with fairies, mushrooms, and tree spirits like the tales of the olden days. The fun doesn't stop there! As evidenced by the name, the Splash Village contains it's very own indoor water park. Bavarian Inn has it's own share of fun, with it's own water park, indoor mini golf course, and arcade room. So, if you're looking for a place to rest your head, both of these hotels are an excellent choice!
