Universal Epic Universe to Open in May 2025
By Rikki
The rumors were flying this week and now we have an official date! Universal Epic Universe will be opening on May 22, 2025!
Ok….so now the countdown is on for the most ambitious theme park ever created by Universal Destinations and Experiences. Personally, we cannot contain our excitement for the more than 50 incredible experiences that we’ll soon be able to experience. Universal Epic Universe will include groundbreaking attractions, breathtaking entertainment, incredibly themed dining and shopping, and so much more. Universal Epic Universe will present a level of theme park immersion and innovation that is unmatched across five themed worlds. These worlds include Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.
“This is such a pivotal moment for our destination, and we’re thrilled to welcome guests to Epic Universe next year,” said Karen Irwin, President and COO of Universal Orlando Resort. “With the addition of this spectacular new theme park, our guests will embark on an unforgettable vacation experience with a week’s worth of thrills that will be nothing short of epic! Our Universe will never be the same.”

Select multi-day tickets and packages will go on sale October 22. These include:
- A variety of multi-day tickets and vacation packages. These include three, four or five days of admission to Universal’s theme parks – including one day admission to Epic Universe. These products will go on sale on Tuesday, October 22.

In addition, at that time, bookings for Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel, will also be made available. Universal Helios Grand Hotel is a majestic 500-room property. It will offer one-of-a-kind views of the park. Plus it will include its very own dedicated entrance into Epic Universe for hotel guests! How cool is that? And based on the info that was released earlier this year about this new hotel, it looks incredible.
