Get ready for an epic adventure! Universal Epic Universe, the newest addition to Universal Orlando Resort, is set to open on May 22, 2025. With select tickets and vacation packages already on sale, now is the perfect time to start planning your visit. But before you pack your bags, let’s go over some important details to ensure you’re fully prepared for this exciting new park.
Start Planning Early
As excitement builds for the grand opening, it’s no surprise that the demand for tickets and accommodations is skyrocketing. If you’re planning to visit right around the park’s opening date, you’ll want to secure your tickets and hotel stay as soon as possible. For example, the Universal Helios Grand Hotel is already sold out from May 22 to May 25, 2025. So if you’re hoping to stay onsite, don’t wait too long!
What Tickets Are Available?
At the moment, Universal is offering multi-day tickets that are valid for three days or more, which include one day of admission to Universal Epic Universe. You won’t need to specify the exact day you’ll visit the new park, just the first day you’d like your tickets to be active. This gives you flexibility as you plan your overall experience at Universal Orlando Resort.
Single-day tickets to Universal Epic Universe aren’t available yet, but more options, including one-day and two-day tickets, are expected to be released closer to the park’s opening. Keep an eye out for these updates if you’re looking for shorter stays.
Visiting Universal Epic Universe
If you’re staying at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel and have a ticket that includes Epic Universe, you can check in as early as May 21, 2025. This is perfect for those who want to settle in and be ready to explore the new park right after its grand opening!
Once you’re in the park, you can expect an incredible experience spread across five immersive lands, including the highly anticipated Celestial Park. Complimentary shuttle transportation will be available, making it easy to travel between Epic Universe and Universal’s other theme parks like Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
What About Florida Residents and Passholders?
While Florida resident discounts for Epic Universe aren’t available just yet, rest assured that Universal plans to offer these closer to the park’s opening. If you’re a Passholder, you’re in for a treat! Passholders will receive a priority opportunity to purchase a 1-day Universal Epic Universe ticket add-on starting October 24, 2025, before these tickets go on sale to the general public.
Additional perks and benefits for Passholders will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
Park Extras and VIP Experiences
Universal is known for its VIP experiences, Express Passes, and My Universal Photo products—and Epic Universe will be no exception. However, these options aren’t available just yet. More details on Express Passes, VIP tours, and photo packages will be shared as the park’s opening date approaches, so be sure to check back for updates if you’re interested in these add-ons.
Planning Ahead is Key
With the grand opening just around the corner, Universal Epic Universe is sure to be a hit. If you’re looking to be one of the first to visit this exciting new park, now is the time to book your tickets and hotel stay.
