Orlando is known for its epic theme park experiences, but Universal is turning up the heat in 2024 with an all-new nighttime adventure at Volcano Bay! For the first time ever, guests can experience the thrills of Universal’s tropical paradise after dark with Volcano Bay Nights—an exclusive, limited-capacity event happening on select Saturdays (April 12, 26, May 3, 10, and 17). If you’ve ever wanted to slide, splash, and soak up the magic of a moonlit water park, this is your chance!
The Nighttime Water Park You’ve Been Dreaming Of
Imagine this: You’re floating along the lazy river, the stars twinkling overhead, Krakatau volcano glowing in the distance, and the sounds of tropical beats filling the air. That’s the kind of pure vacation vibes you can expect at Volcano Bay Nights. And the best part? Lower wait times and exclusive access to some of the park’s most thrilling water attractions!
Must-Ride Attractions at Volcano Bay Nights:
- Krakatau Aqua Coaster – Ride the glowing currents of the park’s signature water coaster under the stars!
- Ko’okiri Body Plunge – If you dare, take the 125-foot near-vertical drop into the darkness below.
- Kala and Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides – A pair of twisting, turning slides that send you plunging through illuminated chutes.
And when you need a break from the adrenaline rush, head over to Waturi Beach, where the party really kicks off!
Live Entertainment & Beach Party Vibes
The heart of the event is at Waturi Beach, where you can dance the night away with a live DJ, join in on some nostalgic beach games (hula hoop and limbo, anyone?), and take in the breathtaking views of the 200-foot Krakatau volcano, beautifully lit up for the night. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and high-energy fun.
