Universal Volcano Bay is set to close temporarily starting on October 26, 2026, with plans to resume operations on or before March 24, 2027, to undergo an extensive refurbishment. As this date approaches, Universal Orlando has made notable updates to its annual pass offerings.
The 3-park annual pass, which provided access to Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay, has been put on hold for both new purchases and renewals. This decision comes as Universal Orlando recognizes that an annual pass including Volcano Bay would not be beneficial for an entire year, given the upcoming closure. Importantly, there is currently no specific annual pass available that solely provides entry to Volcano Bay.
However, fans of the park need not worry entirely, as multi-day, multi-park ticket packages that feature Volcano Bay will still be offered, albeit outside of the annual pass structure. Moreover, it is essential to note that Volcano Bay will also have seasonal closures on selected dates leading up to February 2026, so guests are encouraged to check the Universal Orlando park hours calendar for detailed information before planning their visits.
This refurbishment project signals Universal Orlando’s commitment to maintaining and enhancing the quality of their attractions, promising an exciting return for guests in 2027.
