Universal Epic Universe - the Universal Orlando Resort's much anticipated third theme park - will open Memorial Day weekend 2025.
We are still parsing all the details, but...
At least initially, there will be NO stand-alone or even multi-day tickets for Universal Epic Universe.
OPENING Memorial Day 2025
Watch Universal Resort's creative team as they give an overview of Universal Epic Universe, opening 2025 at Universal Orlando Resort.
New theme parks don't come around that often... but coming in 2025, Universal will add its newest park to its two existing parks - Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure and the Volcano Bay water 'theme' park.
Located a short distance from the current theme parks, Epic Universe will transport guests to expansive, vivid worlds filled with awe-inspiring attractions, entertainment, hotels, dining and more.
From ground-breaking technology to an innovative racing roller coaster, to five different worlds connected through mystical portals, Universal is promising the park will be transformational.
The park will feature five 'worlds.' (I have put them in clockwise order starting from Celestial Park and going around the park.)
Journey to a Celestial World Between Worlds
Think of Celestial Park as 'Main Street' of Universal Epic Universe. Step into a lush, green world where thrills, entertainment, dining and shopping lead all who enter on an exhilarating journey of discovery. Celestial Park is where thrilling rides, entertainment, dining, shopping, plus Universal Helios Grand Hotel, all come together to create an amazing world of discovery and excitement.
What you will find in Celestial Park:

NEW - We now have details on all three of the new hotels that will be located near Universal Epic Universe.
Universal is building three new hotels near Universal Epic Universe.
Universal's Epic Universe is located about a mile-and-a-half way from its current properties. And yes, Universal will have transportation from its eight existing hotels. Those eight hotels are located near its existing parks -- Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay water 'theme' park.
There will be two 'prime value' resorts - Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort. Each feature 750-rooms. Both are available for booking now for dates starting early next year.
The third hotel is the 500-room Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews hotel, which sits right at the top of Universal's Epic Universe. It will be part of the reclassified Universal Signature Collection, formerly know as Premier resorts.
Whether you are ready to book... or want to get on the list to get notified for when Universal Epic Universe opens -- start here. The form will collect the details I need to get you more information.
