Universal Epic Universe Opening Date Announced
Universal Destinations & Experiences, a unit of Comcast NBCUniversal, today announced that Universal Orlando Resort’s highly anticipated fourth theme park, Universal Epic Universe, will officially open on May 22, 2025. The theme park will feature five new worlds for guests to visit.
Universal Destinations & Experiences says that Universal Epic Universe is the most ambitious theme park the company has ever created and will be the next game-changer for theme park entertainment. With a total of more than 50 experiences that range from attractions to entertainment to 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.
The 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. And anchoring the park is Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel – a majestic 500-room property that will offer one-of-a-kind views of the park and feature its very own dedicated entrance into Universal Epic Universe for hotel guests (valid theme park admission required).
The opening of Universal Epic Universe will transform Universal Orlando Resort into a weeklong vacation destination comprised of four theme parks that are home to the most innovative theme park experiences ever created, 11 spectacular hotels that are destinations unto themselves, and more – forever changing the landscape of the award-winning destination.
“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!
