Aquaventure After Dark returns to Aquaventure World, Atlantis The Palm, on Friday 9 October 2026.
The date is listed on Aquaventure World’s official What’s On page, which also says early-bird tickets run until 20 September 2026. The same date and cutoff appear on the Aquaventure World homepage.
What’s On reported a one-night after-hours waterpark with rides, live zones and food, open to guests aged 13 and above from 8pm to midnight.
Aquaventure After Dark: tickets, hours and who can go
Early-bird tickets are on sale until 20 September 2026, according to the official listing. Aquaventure World’s homepage points buyers to booking.aquaventureworld.com.
What’s On listed early-bird tickets from Dhs169 until 20 September, Dhs310 at the gate, and Dhs149 for Annual and Season Pass holders at the gate, subject to availability. FACT Magazines, posting on 1 September, printed the same figures as AED 169, AED 310 and AED 149. The official page confirms the early-bird cutoff but does not publish a price.
Hours and the 13+ age limit come from What’s On. FACT Magazines repeated both. The official 2026 listing does not state either figure. A 2025 Aquaventure World blog post still describes last June’s Reunion edition and should not be read as this October’s ticket grid.
Zones, rides and food
What’s On said the night is split across three areas. Torrent Beach hosts the headline performance, with Neptune Tower and a production of lights, lasers, flame effects and giant LED screens. A competition zone is listed for interactive group challenges with prizes. Trident Tower is described as a culture-led space with emerging sounds, social happenings and guest activations.
More than 105 slides, rides and attractions sit across Aquaventure World. What’s On said some of the larger rides will run after sunset, including Odyssey of Terror, Blackout and Immortal Falls.
Food stations are listed throughout the park. Poseidon’s Village: loaded hot dogs, burgers, oven-baked pizza, Asian dishes, vegan options, and Atlantis strawberries with chocolate drizzle. Snappers: loaded fries, buffalo popcorn chicken, flaming shrimp waffle cones and vegan burgers.
Day Pass add-on, for the first time
What’s On said guests can add After Dark to a Day Pass for the first time. After daytime operations end, add-on holders are directed to a dedicated area on Aquaventure Beach, with music and food, before continuing into the evening event. FACT Magazines reported the same add-on.
The park sits on Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah, at Atlantis The Palm. Aquaventure Waterpark already appears on tbreak’s A Dubai Invite perks list.
Buy tickets through Aquaventure World’s booking site. Official date: Friday 9 October 2026. What’s On: 8pm to midnight, ages 13 and above.
