Then, she attended Ann Arbor Open for 9 years and had weekly swim lessons at Ann Arbor Open from K-6th grade. She also swam on the Mack Manta Rays Swim Team (the predecessor to the OctoPods) for 4 years.

Indoor Water Parks
In addition to indoor pools, there are two nearby indoor water parks. While both offer hotel packages, they are both an easy day trip from Ann Arbor. They offer both full and half-day rates.
Zehnder’s Splash Village
Zehnder’s Splash Village in Frankenmuth expanded almost 10 years ago. My daughter and I visited with friends over mid-winter shortly after they opened the new section. The new expansion is bright and airy with a new family raft slide, a drop slide, a second lazy river and a pool area. The original area offers two tube slides, play structure, kids play area, and more. We reviewed the original section in 2013 but never wrote up on our 2016 visit. The original Splash water park has recently had glass walls added. I can’t wait to see new photos from the inside.
They have limited capacity. It is recommended to book your day tickets before driving up from Ann Arbor. Get more details on their website.
