parks at Universal Orlando
about $81
one day, at Universal

Volcano Bay is Universal’s water park. It is one of the four parks at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando. The other three are Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe.

You need its own ticket, or a ticket that includes it. A dry-park ticket alone does not get you in.

Volcano Bay tickets: what they cost and which ticket includes it

A one-day Volcano Bay ticket costs from about $81 at Universal, plus tax. Universal’s prices are in US dollars and change by date.

That makes it Universal’s cheapest one-day park ticket. A day at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure starts from about $125.

On GetYourGuide, only the All Parks Ticket includes Volcano Bay. The other options of the resort ticket, from €173, do not.

For the dry parks, our guide to Universal park Orlando tickets compares every option.
