BRONNER'S CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND

We had a unique experience in Frankenmuth, when we wandered through the delightful maze known as Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. It's impossible to get an outdoor view of the building, because you need an aerial picture. (They have one in their advertising from Santa's sleigh!) The building is the size of 5 1/2 football fields. Thank God, they have chairs every so often along the way! It would be interesting to know how many tour buses they get in a year-at our entrance, there were three, and one more that just went to park. The town estimates they get over two million visitors a year, and I'm sure Bronner's is the main draw. We haven't been there at night yet, but every night they light over 100'000 lights and displays on their 27 acres until 11 pm.

Inside, it's incredible-things are grouped in sections-santa's, snowmen, etc.-and are in order. There are areas for villages, figurines, store displays (up high), trees (over 250 are trimmed), ornaments from all over the world, and even an area with 5 women personalizing ornaments for you free. There are three film presentations and a snack room. It's hard to describe, but it's fun, and truly amazing! (Mulert was going to come in "for a little while", and 3 hours later, he was still there-and he wasn't griping!)
