And that’s not even everything! Along with this new theme park in Orlando, you’ll have three brand new Universal Hotels to choose from. There’s so many adventures just waiting for you and Get Away Today is here to make it a reality.

All About Universal Epic Universe

Epic Universe is located a few miles southeast of the mainUniversal Studios hub but will have its own set of Universal Hotels and free, resort-wide transportation to seamlessly transport you between all the action.

You’re probably most familiar with Universal Orlando’s main theme parks but in 2025, you’ll have four amazing parks to visit during your vacation. Each has something unique and different to explore.
  1. Universal Studios Florida is best known for classics and new rides like Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Revenge of the Mummy and E.T. Adventure.
  2. Universal Islands of Adventure top attractions include Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Jurassic World VelociCoaster and Seuss Landing.
  3. Universal Volcano Bay Orlando water park with tons of body slides, tube slides, family attractions, splash zones and more.
  4. Universal Epic Universe is the newest addition to Universal Orlando (2025) brining SUPER NINTENDO WORLD to the east coast, along with new areas to explore like Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and Dark Universe.
Discount tickets for Universal Epic Universe are available here and we recommend visiting for at least 3 days to cover the basics in each park at Universal Orlando.

Explore Celestial Park at Epic Universe

At the heart of the park, near the main entrance is Celestial Park. Welcome to a true “park” version of a theme park with acres of rolling gardens, chasing waterways and strolling pathways. The Luna Overlook offers a celestial backdrop for photos, exploring and relaxing.

Attractions inside Celestial Park include:

  • Stardust Racers – a dual-launch racing coaster reaching speeds up to 62 mph and heights up to 133 feet along 5,000 feet of track.
  • Constellation Carousel – where explorers of all ages will take a fantastical whirl aboard constellations that glide forward, backward, and even make 360-degree rotations.
  • Astronomica – an interactive wet-play area that also doubles as a giant compass rose to the many wonders of Epic Universe.
Celestial Park will also be the gateway to explore the four additional worlds of Epic Universe through a set of majestic portals. Your cosmic journey of discoveries starts right here.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

Are you ready for even more immersive Harry Potter experiences? This is the third area fans of Harry Potter can dive into in Orlando.

Epic Universe invites guests to discover a different era of the wizarding world in an all-new land that blends 1920s wizarding Paris from Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.

This adds to existing Harry Potter attractions in these areas: At Epic Universe you’ll explore “Ministry of Magic” which brings to life the magical streets of 1920s Paris. You can also enjoy an all new experience at the British Ministry of Magic!

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Florida

We can’t wait to introduce you to a new way to play at SUPER NINTENDO WORLD—now coming to Orlando! You’ll get to Meet Mario and friends face-to-face at the new Epic Universe theme park, plus ride iconic SUPER NINTENDO attractions like those found at Universal Studios in Hollywood.

How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk

Get ready to soar with dragons in a colorful world filled with Viking adventures based on the wildly popular How to Train Your Dragon film franchise. This is the first ever land of its kind and we can’t wait to take flight!

Dark Universe at Epic Universe

Movie fans will love this entire world dedicated to a place where classic monsters roam in a world of myth and mystery. You’ll find everything from the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to the shadowy landscape of intrigue awaiting discovery.

And if there’s one thing you need to know about the Dark Universe, it is the term Monster Kid.
Monster kid (noun): someone who grew up loving all things scary, creepy and misunderstood — especially the classic Universal Monsters.

Welcome to Darkmoor where you’ll enter from a Celestial Park portal into a decaying, foggy cemetery on the edge of the village.

After you weave your way through the cemetery, the village proper greets you. Lurk beside misbegotten scientific experiments and unnatural creatures in the shadows. Darkmoor, home to monsters, monster makers, monster hunters and the welcoming villagers who are just trying to survive.

Attractions Inside Dark Universe

  • Meet and Greet - Darkmoor’s most infamous inhabitants are here including a new Dr. Frankenstein.
  • Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment - As Victoria’s guests inside this dark ride, you’ll witness her attempt to tame the most dangerous monster of all, Dracula, backfire spectacularly. Chaos erupts as you’re pursued deeper and deeper into the catacombs by a rogue’s gallery of Universal Monsters.
  • Curse of the Werewolf - This family spinning coaster can be found in the colorful encampment of The Guild of Mystics. Maleva, the guild’s all-knowing seer and leader, will warn visitors that they bear the mark of the werewolf.
  • Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience - Monster makers have converted Dr. Septimus Pretorius’ old lab into a parlor where visitors can let their inner monster shine. Get your monster makeup done or enjoy temporary tattoos for the whole family (ages 5 and up).

Universal Epic Universe Dining

We all know that one of the best parts of vacation is the food, and Epic Universe definitely delivers.

Here’s a look at what you can find at at Epic Universe:
  • Atlantic – a full-service restaurant set inside a Victorian aquarium with captivating views of Celestial Park.
  • The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant – where diners take a culinary journey across Asia as they enjoy authentic Chinese, Japanese and Thai fare in this full-service restaurant accented with neon dragons and ethereal lanterns in Celestial Park.
  • Das Stakehaus - a fast-casual restaurant lorded over by the servants of said vampires. Classical artwork and relics hint at the dark opulence of vampiric culture.
  • The Burning Blade Tavern - The mill that stands atop this restaurant erupts into flames every 20 minutes. So, if you prefer your bratwurst extra crispy, this is the place to try.
  • More dining locations to be announced!

Book Your Universal Epic Universe Vacation

We love this water park and think it makes an incredible vacation all on its own! But don’t stop there.

We recommend…
For the full Universal Studios Florida experience we recommend staying at least 4 nights at Universal Helios Grand Hotel where you’ll stay inside the actual theme park itself, right next to Celestial Park. This hotel also has its very own park entrance.

Add this epic hotel stay to 3-Park Base tickets which will give you time to not only enjoy your resort amenities but also allows you to experience all three Universal Studios theme parks.

A specialist can help you book available experiences, dining and the best rooms at any of the new Epic Universe hotels (Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort) for your vacation. Check out our Universal Orlando Resort vacation packages online or call an agent at 855-GET-AWAY.
