FRANKENMUTH, MI – Parts of an iconic water park have closed after a new executive order out of Lansing, the business announced on Saturday.
Zehnder’s Splash Village, a hotel and water park at 1365 S Main St., Frankenmuth, has “temporarily” closed off its Drop Slide, Family Raft Ride, and Tube Slides, the company announced on social media Friday afternoon. Swimming pools will remain open.
The decision is in response to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s “most recent Executive Orders,” the post reads.
But the latest executive orders extended the statewide state of emergency and loosen some restrictions on gyms, and do not mention water parks. In fact, an explicit closure of water parks was announced in late July - during which time Splash Village remained open.
And while water parks are not mentioned in Thursday’s executive order pertaining to gyms, other amusement parks are, and are allowed to remain open, with safety precautions.
Representatives from Zehnder’s Splash Village did not immediately respond to MLive’s inquiries about their concerns regarding the statewide orders.
The indoor water park reopened for the summer on July 1 – late in a season so important to this tourism-dependent city – with precautions in place against the spread of coronavirus.

On Facebook, the business promised people with existing reservations that they will charge different rates with these attractions closed.
