Founded in 1986, the Bavarian Inn Lodge pays homage to its Bavarian heritage, blending tradition with modernity. In a significant expansion project known as Bavarian Blast, the lodge is set to welcome a breathtaking indoor waterpark. This $80 million investment will expand the property and make Bavarian Inn Lodge Michigan’s largest indoor water park and family entertainment center, spanning over 140,000 square feet.

Led by Chad Walker at Fessler & Bowman Construction, the Bavarian Blast Indoor Waterpark is slated for completion in the fall of 2024, and will be 2.5 times the size of the Detroit Lions Football field. The waterpark will bring 16 new attractions to the well-established facility, including water- slides, a wave pool, a family spa, a swim-up bar, and a “not-so-lazy river”.

In collaboration with R.C. Hendrick & Son, Inc., the general contractor overseeing the expansion, Fessler & Bowman used MEVA‘s Imperial formwork to pour the facility walls and columns for this project, where the columns were poured in three lifts. The project had a towering maximum height of almost 40 feet! This choice reflects the trust placed in MEVA‘s formwork systems to meet the demands of a project of such magnitude.

The expansion not only introduces thrilling new attractions but also reimagines family fun, bringing a new era of entertainment to Frankenmuth, Michigan. As Frankenmuth evolves with the addition of Bavarian Blast, it symbolizes the blend of heritage and contemporary entertainment – a water wonderland composed to captivate generations to come.
