- Isle of Berk. A DreamWorks based land featuring how to train your dragon .
- Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic. A brand new wizarding world that promises to be the best yet.
What do I need to Know About Epic Universe?
Epic Universe is being built just a few miles south of the current Universal Orlando Resort. The new park will be located on a 750-acre site near the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Universal also has new transportation options, including a dedicated hub to connect Epic Universe to its sister parks, making it easy for guests to travel between parks.
Planning ahead will be key to making the most of your visit to Epic Universe. With the park opening May 22, 2025, early booking is key to making sure you can visit. Universal has restricted access, so you’ll need to purchase a multi-day Universal pass to visit the park in 2025. Staying at a Universal hotel (including new hotels at Epic Universe), can provide perks like early park admission and easy transportation.

The park is also has incredible dining and entertainment options, making it a great destination for multigenerational trips. Families can look forward to a mix of outdoor attractions and indoor experiences, and unique “portals” to each land that will surely make it feel different than its sister parks.
