Hello!
You're heading to my stomping grounds! When you booked at Splash Village did you get their "splashtastic package"--that is an awesome deal right now. Check out zehnders website & they have the details on their--I would try to switch to that package if you don't already have it! Also, before I forget, on Sunday nights, 7 PM in Frankenmuth they have concerts in the park--next weekend they are having a Blues Brothers tribute. The concert is free, all you have to bring is a blanket or chairs to sit on & you can bring your own snacks/drinks if you want to (they also have a concession stand there with yummy strawberry shortcake). The Summer Music Festival is going on next week as well (frankenmuthfestivals website for details) but that can get pricey.
As far as the outlets shopping goes, definitely check out the website that the PP gave--it lists all the stores at the mall. I'm on the boy end of things but my big stops are Gap Kids, Childrens Palace (or as I call it, Girls Palace-75% girls clothes), Gymboree, Carters (size 7 & under), Old Navy, Osh Kosh, & VF Outlet (good deals on jeans, just try them on since they can be irregular). If you sign up online for Carters/Osh Kosh you should get a 20% off coupon emailed before you leave. I'm sure your daughter would love Justice & Skeechers and of course Bath & Body works (great deals there!). Tommy Kids is there but they are pricey. Reebok normally has a "buy 2 pair, get 1 free" deal so that's a good stop if you need shoes & there is a Striderite as well. No
crocs outlet yet--I'm still keeping my fingers crossed on that one! They are constantly getting new store so definitely research the website. I do believe they have a mall map on the website so print that off & mark where all the stores are that you want to hit. There is a new Sonics that just opened up by the mall if you need a quick food break--if you don't want fast food though Uno Chicago Grill is very good (once again sign up on their website & they'll email you a free appetizer coupon).
That's all I can think of right now! Feel free to ask away if you have any other questions! As a matter of fact, we are heading to Zehnder's right now for lunch (oh yeah, we'll be eating buttered noodles)--DH got a free birthday meal coupon so we are cashing in, yum! By the way, sign up for Zehnder's plus membership once you get to the hotel--that's where they send you the free birthday meals for the family & for every so many $ you spend they give you gift cards I think.
Have fun--you'll love it! At least you'll have decent weather--it took forever for summer to come but I think it's here!
