Bronner’s is located in Frankenmuth, Michigan. This small town is also known as Michigan’s Little Bavaria. I grew up going to Frankenmuth, and it holds a special place in my heart. It is a great Michigan day trip or weekend getaway if you are visiting from out of state.

Allow enough time

You might not realize just how overwhelming the world’s largest Christmas store can be if you have never visited before. I highly recommend allowing at least 1 hour for your first visit. I have spent close to two hours on a busy weekend before.

The painters can personalize your ornaments for you and it’s completely free! It does take some time for personalization, about 1-2 hours. Personalized gifts are one of my favorite things to give during the holidays.

when to visit

Bronner’s is open 361 days a year. Over 2 million guests visit Bronner’s annually. It isn’t much of a surprise but Thanksgiving weekend is the busiest weekend of the year. 50,000 guests can be expected to visit Thanksgiving weekend.

    This looks like so much fun!! I am a huge lover of Christmas, and so I would be all over this. I think it would be especially fun to visit in the middle of summer. I’d be interested to know when the fewest people visit. I bet in January & February people are less inclined to stock up. But who knows?
