Your new epic adventure begins in May. Universal Destinations and Experiences announced the Universal Epic Universe opening date, its new theme park in Orlando, Florida, will open.
Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about the new park, such as its opening date, how to buy tickets and much more.
When Is the Universal Epic Universe Opening Date?
You’ll be able to enjoy Universal Epic Universe starting May 22, 2025.
When Do Universal Epic Universe Ticket Sales Start?
Universal began selling tickets to the new park today, October 22, 2024.
How and Where Can I Purchase Tickets to Universal Epic Universe?
You will eventually be able to get them individually through regular channels such as the official Universal Orlando Resort website and travel agents like ourselves.
However, given the initial demand, there will be no individual tickets available at launch. Admission during the first phase of visitors will only be possible with Universal three-day tickets or longer, as well as select Universal vacation packages.
This means that to be among the first Universal Epic Universe visitors, you must commit to a minimum of two days at the other parks in the Universal complex.
What are the Ticket Options for the Park’s Initial Phase?
You can purchase multi-day tickets that include one day at Universal Epic Universe. The options are as follows:
- 3-Day Ticket: One day at Universal Epic Universe plus two-day access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure.
- 4-Day Ticket: One day at Universal Epic Universe plus three-day access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure.
- 5-Day Ticket: One day at Universal Epic Universe plus four-day access to Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay.
These packages will be available in both one-day-one-park and park-by-park versions, plus a day at Epic Universe.
Do You Get Tickets to Universal Epic Universe If You Book a Vacation Package with an Official Universal Hotel?
If your booked vacation package includes one of the Universal Epic Universe ticket options.
You can build your Universal vacation package with any of the official hotels like Universal Helios Grand Hotel, Universal Stella Nova Resort, and Universal Terra Luna Resort, the most recent; Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside and Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside, the affordable options; and of course, their Signature hotels like Loews Portofino Bay and Hard Rock Hotel.
Can I Walk to Universal Epic Universe from Universal Helios Grand Hotel?
Universal’s newest official hotel, Helios Grand Hotel is integrated into Universal Epic Universe in such a way that it shares design details with Celestial Park, the park’s central area.
Guests of Universal Helios Grand Hotel even have their own direct entrance to the park right from their hotel.
Can I Walk to Universal Epic Universe from Universal Studios Florida or Universal Islands of Adventure?
No, but both parks offer complimentary transportation to the new one.
Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure are located next to each other and connected by the Universal CityWalk complex. Universal Epic Universe is located further south of Orlando, about a 15-minute drive away.
If I Purchase Park-to-Park Tickets, Can I Use Them to Go to Universal Epic Universe and Another Universal Park in a Day?
Yes, but we don’t recommend it. Park-to-park access was designed for use between Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay water park given the proximity between the three properties.
In the initial ticketing phase, attempting to visit Universal Epic Universe on the same day as other parks would count as your day at the new park and cost you two days of admission.
In other words, if you purchased the minimum two-day park-to-park ticket plus one day of Epic Universe, then decide to go to Epic Universe followed by another park, you would use up all your admissions on the same day.
That, in addition to the distance between the new park and the previous ones, complicates this option.
Does Universal Epic Universe Have Universal Express Passes?
Universal Destinations and Experiences will announce how their “skip the line” system will integrate into the new park some time before the official opening.
