The park closed in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began. It is slated to reopen in a few days.

DUNDEE, Mich. — A beloved southeast Michigan waterpark has reopened, four years after they initially closed when the COVID-19 pandemic began. 

Splash Universe, located off of US 23 in Dundee, will open for business beginning Monday, April 22, according to a post made to the park's Facebook page Wednesday.
