Universal to Close Volcano Bay Water Park for 5 Months – What You Need to Know

Universal Orlando’s tropical-themed water park, Volcano Bay is prepping for some updates, and as a result, will see a five-month extended closure.

Beginning on October 26, 2026, the water park will begin a seasonal closure with a current planned reopening on or before March 24, 2027.

The closure time will be used to conduct annual maintenance on several attractions and areas of the water park.

Universal Orlando Resort says that they are currently working with guests who have purchased tickets to visit Volcano Bay during this timeframe. Guests may also visit Guest Services at Universal Volcano Bay, Universal Studios Florida or Universal Islands of Adventure or call (407) 224-4233 for more assistance with their ticket purchases.

Additionally, as the entertainment resort continues to evaluate its guest experiences, beginning October 1, 2025, the TapuTapu wearable device and virtual line at Volcano Bay will no longer be available. This will allow guests to now access attraction queues at their leisure.

Guests can also check the Universal Orlando Resort website for latest resort updates that includes information about its other adventure-themed parks.
