AquaGlow Tickets
Tickets may be pre-purchased online or purchased upon arrival at the gate. If you've also purchased day admission to the park, you'll be allowed to remain inside. You will still need to visit Guest Services to acquire your exclusive AquaGlow wristband before the event starts at 8 p.m. Parking isn't included but is offered at a discounted rate of $25. If you've purchased parking for daytime admission, it's valid for the same-day event.
Dining locations are open throughout the park, with select locations featuring exclusive culinary offerings for the event. (More on that below!) Kiwi Traders will also be open and have exclusive AquaGlow merchandise for sale.
If you purchased the Aquatica Orlando All-Day Dining Deal on the same day you're attending AquaGlow, it will remain valid during the event. You may continue to redeem it every 90 minutes at select locations. Quick Queue, however, will not be valid during AquaGlow as all attractions will have lower wait times due to limited capacity.
