- Two of my granddaughters are visiting, and I would like to have suggestions of where 10 and 11-year-old girls would have a lot of fun in the next week.
Any suggestions? They visited the zoo today and we plan on going to a Frankenmuth splash park. At least one movie is likely to be on the schedule… (Nextdoor Freeland)
