For the first time ever, Universal Orlando is turning up the heat with Volcano Bay Nights—a spectacular, limited-capacity event happening on select Saturday nights! Mark your calendars for April 12, 26, and May 3, 10, and 17 because this is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Imagine sliding into adventure under the stars, surrounded by the tropical magic of Volcano Bay with shorter wait times, live entertainment, DreamWorks character encounters, and exclusive treats—all wrapped up in an island-style celebration.

Your Exclusive After-Dark Adventure

Once the sun sets, the excitement begins! Guests can embrace the Waturi spirit while enjoying their favorite water attractions in an exclusive nighttime setting. Thrill-seekers can take on iconic rides like the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, Ko’okiri Body Plunge, and Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides—all with fewer crowds and more fun!

The energy continues at Waturi Beach, where a live DJ will keep the vibes going, and guests can take part in nostalgic beach games like hula hoop contests and limbo under the park’s breathtaking 200-foot Krakatau volcano.

Meet Your Favorite DreamWorks Characters!

This incredible night gets even better with special appearances from beloved DreamWorks Animation characters! Snap a selfie with Shrek, Fiona, Puss in Boots, and Kitty Soft Paws, or dance along with King Julien and Alex from Madagascar. And for all the Trolls fans out there, Poppy, Branch, and Guy Diamond will be making the night extra special!

Savor the Island Flavors

What’s a night in paradise without delicious bites? Guests can indulge in complimentary island-inspired treats, including Spicy Island Shrimp and Cheesy Cliffside Seashell Pasta. Plus, quench your thirst with over 100 Coca-Cola drink choices—available with unlimited refills in a complimentary Volcano Bay Freestyle Souvenir Cup throughout the event!
