Overview

  • Volcano Bay Nights will run on nine Fridays—Sept. 5, 12, 19, 26 and Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24, 31—offering a separately ticketed after-hours water park experience.
  • The fall lineup will mirror April’s debut, featuring nighttime access to water attractions, a live DJ, games and DreamWorks character meet-and-greets.
  • Universal has not yet disclosed ticket prices or an on-sale date, and its website confirms that full details are forthcoming.
  • Beginning October 1, Volcano Bay will retire its TapuTapu wearables and virtual queue system in favor of standard standby lines at all attractions.
  • The fall events offer a last chance to visit Volcano Bay in its current form before a scheduled seasonal closure for refurbishment from late October 2026 through March 2027.
