Universal Orlando’s new(ish) after-dark event is splashing back into the park this summer.
Volcano Bay Nights returns select nights May 3 through Aug. 21 with limited-capacity after-hours entry to Universal’s waterpark.
Volcano Bay Nights starts at 7 p.m. (but ticket holders can arrive as early as 4 p.m.) and offers access to attractions, special “experiences” and an exclusive menu — all after the sun goes down.
Popular attractions like Krakatau Aqua Coaster, Ko’okiri Body Plunge and TeAwa the Fearless River are all open to nighttime guests. There will also be a Beach Bash at Waturi Beach complete with a live DJ and meet-and-greets with characters from Shrek and Madagascar.
Complimentary treats include blue raspberry churro bites and garlic parmesan-flavored popcorn (and a complimentary Volcano Bay Freestyle Souvenir Cup), while more eats are available for purchase.
The nighttime event was first launched in early 2025 for a select time period before coming back again the following fall.
Volcano Bay Nights tickets are on sale now starting at $99 per person. Universal Orlando passholders can snag a 10 percent discount with a valid annual or seasonal pass with a valid photo ID.
Private cabanas are also available starting at $200.
Volcano Bay Nights will take place on the following dates this summer:
- May 3, 10, 17, 22 and 31
- June 5, 12, 18 and 25
- July 10 and 17
- August 7, 14 and 21
