Universal Volcano Bay Nights Extended to Fridays in Fall

Chloé Ferreira

More late night water park fun?! Yes, please. Universal has just announced the extension of their popular Volcano Bay Nights after hours event. Tickets will go on sale soon.

The event kicked off earlier this year, happening select Saturday nights in April and May. Now, the event has been extended to take place on Friday nights throughout September and October 2025:



  • September 5, 12, 19, 26
  • October 3, 10, 17, 24, 31

(This would make a great pairing with a fall trip to Universal… with or without Halloween Horror Nights!)
