Miami is about to get voted onto the island.
This January, Jungle Island will transform into a full-on tribute to one of TV’s longest-running juggernauts with the arrival of the Survivor Ultimate Fan Cafe, a limited-time immersive experience celebrating the show’s 50th season.

Opening on January 29, 2026, the café is a collaboration between Bucket Listers and CBS, timed to build buzz ahead of the milestone anniversary season, which premieres on February 25. The concept goes way beyond themed cocktails and logo merch, though. This is designed as a hands-on playground for fans who’ve spent decades yelling strategy advice at their TVs.
“This Ultimate Fan Cafe is more than an event; it’s an immersive tribute to the fan community that has kept CBS’ Survivor thriving for 50 seasons," said Mike Benson, president and chief marketing officer, Paramount Television, in an official statement. "From iconic photo moments to themed food and real Survivor-style challenges, we’re inviting fans to live the adventure like never before.”
Inside the custom-built space at Jungle Island, guests will be able to test their skills with a rotating lineup of physical and mental challenges inspired by the show, all adapted for safe, indoor play. You won’t be dangling over the ocean or shivering by a fire to stay warm, but you will get a taste of the competitive spirit that’s defined Survivor since its debut in 2000.
Between challenges, castaways will refuel with a Polynesian-fusion menu created by chef Becky Brown, a MasterChef finalist and Chopped champion. The themed offerings include dishes like sole Survivor ceviche, campfire carnitas tacos, new era laksa noodles and a double elimination burger. There will be desserts, kid-friendly options and plenty of comfort food for those who prefer spectating to scheming.
The drink menu will keep the island vibes flowing with themed cocktails and mocktails, plus beer and wine. Also expect shareable pitchers of jungle juice or hidden immunity punch, which feels very on-brand for plotting alliances.
Photo ops will be baked into every corner of the experience, from a tribal council-style fire pit to a voting confessional booth and a winner’s wall designed for brag-worthy pics. Exclusive Survivor merchandise will also be available for purchase.
Tickets include a food and beverage credit and cover a 90-minute reservation. A waitlist is now open through Bucket Listers, with ticket sales launching exclusively on the platform. For more information, click here.
