Well, the thing here is that we don´t know if space does have an end.
The most powerful telescopes have been pointed to the limits of the universe, have examined the farthest places and what they found were galaxies by the thousands, they didn´t find a sign that read "You are trespassing the limit of the universe". So, up to the present knowledge, there is no end.
However, think of this: if there was a line reading "this is the end of the universe" our immediate question would be "what´s next?"
and when whe find the next limit, we would ask again "what´s next?", and if we found a wall at the very end, we also would ask "what´s next?", so...you see? it is impossible to say.

This is one of those global cosmic questions which requires an outside perspective. But there is no outside perspective. All questions like Where is the center? What happened before the Big Bang? Where did the Universe come from? What is it expanding into? All of these are based on being able to see the Universe as a whole. And it cannot. If it could, it wouldn't be the Universe.
These questions just don't have answers. They are meaningless, like what's farther north than the north pole? Where is the center of the surface of the earth? We are used to things working certain logical ways and being able to picture them, but where the Universe is concerned, you can't do that.
So, space doesn't have an end. It isn't infinite, either. As unsatisfying as these concepts may be, we might have to resign ourselves to defeat on this. The Universe can't be contained within, compared to, or come from anything.

Every answer gets a thumbs down! Some adolescent moron at work, no doubt.
There is no end of space. The cosmos is all there is and all there was and all there will ever be.

we dont even know that an "end of space" even really exists! so there is no answer to that question. so we dont even know if there is more space out there.

More space.

no more room for space to be in, so no matter where you go you turn around, infinity + 1 or any other number for that matter is still a limit approaching infinity

time has no begining or ending points, so space or universe doesn't end

Space doesn't have an end.
So it's just continuous space.
