With more than 50,000 sq. ft. of aquatic fun, Splash Village has gone beyond our expectations and is now one of Michigan’s largest indoor waterparks.” Visitors can enjoy a lazy river, 400-gallon dumping bucket, a four-story tube slide, two 20-person hot tubs, a six-story family raft ride, a six-story super loop body slide, zero-entry activity pool with water geysers, water basketball and volleyball, an action river and various fun family aquatic activities.
