Dubai’s famous waterpark is turning up the volume after sunset.
Dubai’s wildest waterpark party is making another splash. Aquaventure After Dark is returning to Aquaventure World at Atlantis, The Palm, transforming the aquatic theme park into a late-night playground filled with record-breaking rides, live entertainment, music, challenges and plenty of food.
Running from 8pm until midnight on Friday, 9 October 2026, the event is open to guests aged 13 and above and offers a rare opportunity to tackle Aquaventure World’s 105 slides, rides and attractions after the sun goes down.
Thrill seekers can take on some of the park’s biggest attractions, including Odyssey of Terror, the world’s tallest waterslide of its kind, Blackout, the tallest vertical-drop body slide in the Middle East, and Immortal Falls, the region’s first cliff-jumping experience.
Once darkness falls, the park will take on a completely different look. Lasers, flame effects, giant LED screens, immersive sound and stage effects will spread across Aquaventure World. This edition will also introduce distinct entertainment areas across the park. Torrent Beach will become the centre of the action, hosting the main stage and headline act against the dramatic backdrop of Neptune Tower. Over at Trident Tower, the mood shifts towards culture and community. The area will spotlight emerging sounds alongside social experiences and guest activations.
Of course, all that swimming, sliding and dancing is likely to work up an appetite. Poseidon’s Village will serve loaded hot dogs, burgers, oven-baked pizzas, Asian dishes and vegan options, alongside Atlantis strawberries drizzled with chocolate. Snappers, meanwhile, will dish up American diner favourites such as loaded fries, buffalo popcorn chicken, flaming shrimp waffle cones and vegan burgers.
For the first time, Aquaventure World is also giving daytime visitors the chance to extend their experience into the evening. Guests purchasing an After Dark add-on with their Day Pass will be moved to a dedicated area on Aquaventure Beach when normal daytime operations finish.
Early Bird tickets start from AED 169 and are available until 20 September 2026, subject to availability. Tickets purchased at the gate will cost AED 310. Aquaventure World Annual and Season Pass holders can also snap up a limited number of tickets at the gate for AED 149.
You’re in for a wild ride — quite literally.
