Universal's newest Orlando park, opened May 2025, with Super Nintendo World, Isle of Berk, Dark Universe and the Ministry of Magic.
Epic Universe opened on May 22, 2025, as Universal Orlando's third gated theme park, southwest of the original resort. The park is built around a central hub, Celestial Park, with four portal lands: Super Nintendo World, Isle of Berk (How to Train Your Dragon), Dark Universe (classic monsters) and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic. Rides include Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, Mine-Cart Madness, Stardust Racers, Hiccup's Wing Gliders and Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. Because the park is new, lines for the main attractions are long and app-based boarding groups may apply. Tickets are sold on universalorlando.com and start around $139 USD for a single day in 2026, with higher peak-date prices. First-time visitors should arrive well before opening and download the Universal Orlando app. Call +1 407-363-8000 for help.
