Universal Volcano Bay will be closed on Sunday, January 7, due to inclement weather. For park updates, please call 407-817-8317 or stay tuned to Universal Orlando’s social channels.
Volcano Bay also shut down earlier last month for the same reason: inclement weather, which usually means tons of rain, lightning, thunder, and other rough weather in Central Florida.
Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios will remain open as usual tomorrow, with just Volcano Bay closing down as the water park. Universal’s Volcano Bay is a tropical-themed water theme park at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. It opened on May 25, 2017.
The park is designed to mimic the beaches of Hawaii, Bali, and New Zealand. It features ten rides, including the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, Kala and Ta Nui Serpentine Body Slides, and Ko’okiri Body Plunge. Volcano Bay is open 12 months a year, but hours vary by season:
- Summer: 9 a.m.–9 p.m.
- Cold days: 10 a.m.–5 p.m., may close if it’s too cold
- Other days: 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Tuesday–Wednesday are closed
Universal Orlando Hotel guests can get early admission up to an hour before the park opens. Some tips for visiting Volcano Bay include:
- Getting tickets in advance
- Not bringing coolers, but getting water bottles and food in plastic containers
- Using the TapuTapu wearable
- Using the Virtual Line
