Universal Epic Universe Overview

Let's talk first about what Universal Epic Universe will include. Universal Epic Universe will consist of 5 new lands to transport guests to worlds beyond. Guests will be able to visit SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk, Celestial Park and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic. 

Along with the new lands, there will be 3 new hotels on property: Universal Stella Nova Resort, Universal Terra Luna Resort and Universal Helios Grand Hotel–available for booking beginning October 22 and will have its own direct entrance into Universal Epic Universe!

Do we have your attention? Let's talk Universal Epic Universe Ticket Information:

During this beginning opening phase, you will be able to purchase a 3-day or longer park ticket with (at least) two days admission to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (and optional Volcano Bay), and a single-day ticket for Universal Epic Universe. Initially, Universal Epic Universe products will launch with multi-day tickets for 3 or more days with a 1-day limit to Universal Epic Universe for those planning vacations well in advance. Universal intends to expand product offerings to single and multi-day tickets including Universal Epic Universe in a phased approach based on availability.

With this initial ticket, base and park-to-park entitlements will remain unchanged for ticket usage window, dated tickets, and park-to-park access for Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Volcano Bay.

It’s important to note at this time, Universal does not plan to offer Universal Epic Universe with Park-to-Park access. There will be so much to see and experience at Epic Universe that you will need a full day to do it! So, Universal recommends spending your one full day at Universal Epic Universe. Between things like putting out dragon fires on Fyre Drill, flying through the air on Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness, shooting through the cosmos on Stardust Racers, getting a monster makeover and exploring the international wizard community, you won’t have a chance to sit still.
