FRANKENMUTH — Saginaw Future Inc. (SFI) is continuing its collaboration with Michael Keller Zehnder and the Bavarian Inn Lodge (BIL) to advance the expansion of its indoor waterpark facilities. The ambitious project now encompasses over 100,000 square feet of waterpark space, complemented by an additional 45,000 square feet dedicated to a Family Entertainment Center.
Since the initial announcement, the expansion has seen a significant boost with an added $10 million in capital investment and an extra 10,000 square feet of space. Highlights of the project include a three-story ropes course with three 26-foot climbing walls, an indoor/outdoor adult-only pool featuring a swim-up bar, and six new water slides, including a “family raft” slide designed to accommodate six to eight people.
Michael Keller Zehnder recently presented the Bavarian Inn Lodge’s long-term vision, which includes plans for a mixed-use development featuring a hotel, condominiums, and a campground. Additional proposed developments include a banquet chapel and one- and two-bedroom condos.
These enhancements aim to attract more visitors to the area and provide a broader range of entertainment options for families and guests, further solidifying the Bavarian Inn Lodge’s status as a premier destination in the region.
