We’ve been getting really excited as Universal has released more details about all five lands the new theme park will bring to Universal visitors: Celestial Park, Dark Universe, Super Nintendo World, Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, and How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. Tickets have already gone on sale for multi-day visits and packages to Universal Orlando, including Epic Universe, but SOON, select Universal visitors will be able to book single day tickets specifically for Epic Universe.

If you are a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder, you can now book single-day tickets for Epic Universe. Right now, single-day tickets are NOT available to the general public, so this could be the best way to get a ticket to check out Epic Universe when it opens.

When we logged on to purchase tickets, there was a virtual queue in place. We waited for about 10-15 minutes with these warnings at the bottom of the page. Be sure to follow these rules to have the best chance possible! When it was our turn, the only day sold out was opening day.

Universal has also alerted Annual Passholders that they should look out for information about soft opening previews of Epic Universe in the next few months, basically suggesting that Annual Passholders might get to see Epic Universe before ANYONE ELSE. At this point, if you don’t have an Annual Pass for Universal Orlando, now might be the time to get one!

Epic Universe officially opens on May 22nd, 2025, along with its in-park hotel, Universal Grand Helios Hotel — reservations for that hotel are open NOW! You’ll also find two other hotels in the area: Universal Stella Nova Resort and with Universal Terra Luna Resort. Stella Nova, which is inspired by the cosmos will open on January 21st, 2025. Terra Luna, which is inspired by terrestrial exploration, will open on February 25th, 2025. Bookings for both of those hotels are also open now.
