Birch Run Expo Center
Birch Run Expo Center, currently called Frankenmuth Credit Union Event Center, is a multipurpose arena with 2,500 seats. Situated in the village of Birch Run in Michigan, the facility was once a skating center and was the first home of the National Hockey League of North America. It used to have two hockey rinks, a food court, eight locker rooms, family attractions, and an NHL FANtasy Zone. At present, the center is used for seminars, sporting events, meetings, conventions, trade shows, and other activities like music festivals and knife and gun shows.
The areas surrounding the Birch Run Expo Center are more than 600 hotel rooms to choose from. One of the closest properties is the Magnuson Hotel Birch Run, which has a restaurant, fitness center, bar, and free parking, and it is near an airport and Bronner's Christmas Wonderland that is a one-stop-shop for Christmas ornaments, collectibles, and others. The other hotels close-by are Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Birch Run-Frankenmuth, MI and Best Western of Birch Run/Frankenmuth.
