Volcano Bay Nights Returns This Fall with After-Dark Thrills, Scooby-Doo Fun, and Specialty Eats

Universal Orlando Resort has announced the highly anticipated return of Volcano Bay Nights, running Friday evenings from September 5 through October 31. This exclusive, limited-capacity event transforms Universal’s tropical water theme park into a glowing, lava-lit paradise, complete with after-dark thrills, live entertainment, and all-new encounters with Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang.

Guests can enter Volcano Bay as early as 4:00 p.m., with the event officially taking place from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., giving plenty of time to enjoy both daytime splashes and nighttime excitement.
