UNIVERSAL EPIC UNIVERSE

Initially, Universal only opened Epic Universe tickets to annual passholders or those buying Universal Orlando vacation packages. With select three-, four-and five-day admission tickets to Universal’s theme parks, guests could get one-day access to Epic Universe. While these packages are still available, guests now have access to one-day ticket options as well.

Although the park opens May 22, one-day tickets are only available beginning June 1. Between the opening date and June 1, guests can only visit Epic Universe if they purchase the special vacation package mentioned above.

  • Two-day, three-park ticket: This includes one day of admission to Epic Universe and one day of admission to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure, starting at $259 per person for adults ($249 for children).

Reservations at all three of Universal’s new hotels near Epic Universe are also available. Guests staying at these or any official Universal Orlando hotel will enjoy perks like one-hour early entry to all of Universal’s theme parks (including Epic Universe), complimentary transportation, resort-wide charging privileges, complimentary merchandise delivery and more.

Universal Stella Nova Resort opened in January, and its sister property, Universal Terra Luna Resort, is scheduled to open in March. Both are adjacent to Epic Universe and fall into Universal’s Prime Value lodging category. Prices start at $147 per night (applies to stays of four nights or longer).

The park’s flagship hotel, Universal Helios Grand Hotel, is currently taking reservations for May 22 and beyond. This high-end hotel is already being called “the crown jewel of Epic Universe and the pinnacle of Universal Orlando’s hotel experiences.” This is both because of its mythology-inspired celestial theme and its unique location inside Epic Universe.

Because of its proximity, the hotel will have a dedicated entrance to Epic Universe exclusively for Universal Grand Helios guests. Guests at Stella Nova and Terra Luna can use bus transportation or take a convenient walking path to Epic Universe.

We are mere months away from stepping into what is poised to be the most impressive theme park of our generation — one that’s sure to transform the theme park experience and influence future lands and parks at Universal and beyond.

As a frequent theme park visitor, I may be biased, but I think this is one park everyone must see at least once. If you agree, snag your ticket now. I wouldn’t be surprised to see early June availability disappear quickly.

Stay tuned for additional details on Epic Universe lands, attractions, hotels and more as the May 22 opening date approaches.
