Smaller Crowds, Shorter Waits
With limited-capacity admission, you’ll spend less time in line and more time enjoying the best attractions, like Ko’okiri Body Plunge, Krakatau Aqua Coaster, and the winding lazy river.
A Party Atmosphere with a DJ
Nothing says vacation mode like live music, and Volcano Bay Nights brings the energy with a DJ spinning island beats throughout the event. Whether you’re lounging in the wave pool or flying down a slide, the music will set the perfect mood.
Breathtaking Nighttime Views
Volcano Bay transforms after dark, with glowing waterfalls, flickering torches, and Krakatau Volcano illuminated in the night sky. It’s a completely different vibe from the daytime experience, making it worth a visit even if you’ve been to Volcano Bay before.
Indulge in Exclusive Treats & Drinks
One of the best parts of any theme park after-hours event is the exclusive food and drinks, and Volcano Bay Nights is no exception! As you kick back on the sandy beaches and soak in the tropical nighttime atmosphere, you’ll be treated to complimentary snacks, including Spicy Island Shrimp and Cheesy Cliffside Seashell Pasta—the perfect way to fuel up between rides. But that’s not all—guests will receive a complimentary Volcano Bay Freestyle Souvenir Cup, giving you access to over 100 drink choices and unlimited refills of Coca-Cola® beverages throughout the event.
Character Meet and Greets
Guests will have the chance to meet and interact with beloved characters from their favorite DreamWorks Animation films. From Shrek and Fiona to Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws, plus King Julien and Alex from Madagascar and Poppy, Branch, and Guy Diamond from Trolls
Is It Worth It?
