Universal Orlando Resort is leveling up with Epic Universe, its most ambitious theme park yet, opening May 22. Spanning 110 acres, this marks Florida’s first major new park since 1999 and features five themed worlds and a 500-room hotel.

Visitors will journey through:

  • Celestial Park – A tranquil, original-themed hub with a dual-launch coaster and massive carousel.
  • Super Nintendo World – A vibrant, multi-level land with Mario, Donkey Kong, and AR-enhanced rides.
  • Dark Universe – A gothic world of monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein, with spooky coasters and dark rides.
  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic – Set in 1920s Paris, featuring a magical atrium and thrilling ride.
  • How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk – A Viking-style land with cutting-edge animatronic dragons and family-friendly rides.

The immersive design blocks out the outside world, offering full sensory experiences across all lands. Celestial Park acts as the entry portal, seamlessly connecting guests to each universe.

Ticket prices start at $139/day for adults, with three-day passes (including all parks) available at discounted rates, especially for Florida residents.

Epic Universe adds to Universal’s growing Florida footprint, joining Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. Expect cutting-edge attractions, unique dining, exclusive merchandise, and no shortage of Instagram-worthy moments.

With its blend of beloved franchises and original worlds, Universal Epic Universe isn’t just a theme park — it’s a universe of its own.
