Volcano Bay Nights Officially Returns to Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando’s tropical paradise is staying open late! This summer, Universal Volcano Bay Nights makes its highly anticipated return on select evenings from May 3 through August 21. This exclusive after-hours party invites you to experience the breathtaking water theme park under the stars, featuring a curated “after-dark” menu, special park experiences, and walk-on access to the park’s most thrilling attractions long after the sun goes down.

Prepare for an unforgettable island adventure under the stars! This limited-capacity event offers a VIP experience with significantly lower wait times for the park’s heavy hitters, including the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, the heart-pounding Ko’okiri Body Plunge, and the churning currents of TeAwa the Fearless River.
Between the thrills, you can head to Waturi Beach for an energized Beach Bash featuring a live DJ and special meet-and-greets with fan-favorite DreamWorks Animation characters from Shrek and Madagascar.

Volcano Bay Nights will take place on the following dates throughout the summer:
- May 3, 10, 17, 22 and 31
- June 5, 12, 18 and 25
- July 10 and 17
- August 7, 14 and 21
Volcano Bay Nights officially kicks off at 7 p.m. on each event night, but guests can arrive as early as 4 p.m. to enjoy the park during the day before the party begins. Tickets are on sale now for $99 plus tax per person, and parking for the event is also included. Universal Orlando Passholders can enjoy special savings and receive a 10% discount off the ticketed price with a valid Annual or Seasonal pass and valid photo ID.
Plus, guests looking for an even more relaxing experience can reserve a private cabana for the event, starting at $199.99 plus tax. Private cabanas must be booked in-park at the concierge huts on the day of the event, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
