There is an end to the universe, but you won't like the answer.
To understand the answer, you need to understand something about the universe to begin with. The universe, at least according to modern science, started with the "big bang". Since that initial event, it has been expanding at around the speed of light.
The universe is in fact a bubble that is growing at the speed of light. The "end" of this bubble, if you were to see it going by, would be the leading edge of the bubble.
If you were somehow sitting outside of the universe and the leading edge of the bubble (the actual "end" of this bubble) you would first see the big bang. Then as time went on, you would see a more familiar universe.
It's a little wierd, but it makes sense. I wonder if your question was really related to the "multiverse"? The multiverse is the idea that there are lots of universe bubbles going off at once. Our universe is one of those bubbles, but there are probably many others, at least in theory. If you are wondering what is on the edge of the multiverse, sorry, no theorys yet. It looks like it just goes on and on.

The universe is endless
===================
1. Everyone knows, that absolute temperature T=0K cannot be reached.
We can only indefinitely come nearer to her.
2. Everyone knows, that nobody can reach
absolute speed of quantum of light c=1.
We can only indefinitely come nearer to her.
3. But everyone also knows, that only quantum of light goes with
absolute speed c=1.
It is the fact, it is a reality.
Question: Unless can this absolute movement c=1 occur in relative reference frame ?
Answer: No.!
The absolute movement can occur only in absolute frame of reference.
But only one absolute frame of reference is known T=0K
(which is impossible to reach).
And only in her quantum of light can move with the absolute speed c=1.
And it is also reality.
So, what can tell quantum of light about his travel in the Infinity, parallel world?

That's something nobody knows, God may have a pretty good idea, but they don't call it infinite for nothing.
I think when I die I will make every effort to find the answer to this question, I'd like to go exploring if there's such thing

it doesn't the universe is infinite. with no center and no edge thus no end. but if you mean how that's a different story:]

get into a black hole and then, tell me what u see inside that "infinite" tunnel
