Universal Orlando Resort is stepping up its game by unveiling an exciting after-hours event, Universal Volcano Bay Nights. This specially ticketed gathering aims to provide guests with a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of its renowned waterpark under the stars. Scheduled for limited dates in April and May, this exclusive event is carefully crafted to enhance the guest experience, catering to both families and young adults looking for a vibrant nighttime escape.
Event Details and Ticketing
The Universal Volcano Bay Nights will take place on specific evenings: April 12, April 26, and throughout May on the 3rd, 10th, and 17th. For a starting price of $99 per person, plus tax, attendees can enjoy a unique experience, with parking included in that fee, which adds significant value for patrons seeking an affordable, convenient outing. Guests desiring a more upscale experience can choose to rent private cabanas within the waterpark for an additional fee starting at $249.99, which would enhance their comfort and enjoyment during the evening.
Excitement awaits as select attractions remain open during these special nights. Notable rides include the iconic Krakatau Aqua Coaster, the adrenaline-pumping Ko’okiri Body Plunge, and the exhilarating Kala and Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides. These attractions will add a sense of adventure that late-night visitors will surely appreciate. Additionally, the event will feature a befitting ambiance, with a DJ entertaining guests at Waturi Beach, encouraging them to dance and mingle. Classic games like limbo and hula hoop contests will add a nostalgic touch, enticing patrons to shed their inhibitions and engage in a little lighthearted fun.
Meet and Greet Opportunities
One of the most delightful aspects of Universal Volcano Bay Nights is the opportunity for guests to interact with beloved DreamWorks characters. Families can create lasting memories as they take photos and engage with characters like Shrek, Fiona, Puss in Boots, and even King Julien from Madagascar. Characters from the popular “Trolls” franchise, including Poppy and Branch, will also be available, ensuring that children and fans alike will have engaging experiences. Such engaging interactions enhance the event’s appeal, making it a multi-faceted enjoyment rather than a simple waterpark visit.
Food and Refreshments
As the evening unfolds, guests won’t go hungry. Complimentary culinary offerings like Spicy Island Shrimp and Cheesy Cliffside Seashell Pasta reflect the unique island theme of the waterpark. Patrons can wash down these tasty treats with an extensive selection of over 100 drinks provided in the specially designed Volcano Bay Freestyle Souvenir Cup. In addition, various establishments within the park, such as Kohola Reef Restaurant and Dancing Dragons Boat Bar, will serve specialty foods and beverages for purchase, catering to a variety of tastes.
Universal Volcano Bay Nights represents more than just a nighttime outing; it is an invitation to create unforgettable memories at one of Orlando’s premier waterparks. With its carefully curated attractions, engaging entertainment, and gastronomic delights, this event is set to become a must-visit for any theme park enthusiast looking to take their enjoyment to the next level.
