About Volcano Bay
Universal Volcano Bay Water Theme Park is a tropical-themed water park at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. Owned and operated by Universal Destinations & Experiences, Volcano Bay replaced Wet ‘n Wild as Universal Orlando Resort’s only water park, the third theme park overall, and the first water park constructed by Universal Creative. The park opened on May 25, 2017.
At the center of the park is “Krakatau,” a 200-foot-tall (61 m) volcano. Its slides include water coasters and capsule plunge slides. As the park’s main icon, Krakatau is featured in the logo.
As a reminder, Universal Volcano Bay will begin a seasonal closure on October 26, 2026, with a current planned reopening on or before March 24, 2027.
