Epic Universe Previews Announced for Universal Hotel Guests and More

Have you been wanting to experience Epic Universe before it officially opens on May 22nd, 2025? Well, this could be your chance! Universal just announced additional opportunities for guests to preview Epic Universe before its official grand opening!

Epic Universe

Not only can Annual Passholders book tickets for previews, but active 2025 Military Freedom Pass Ticket Holders, Universal Rewards Signature VISA Card members, and guests staying at any Universal Orlando hotel can purchase tickets to preview Epic Universe.

Universal’s brand-new theme park features five themed lands that immerse visitors in iconic worlds. You can explore The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, Super Nintendo World, and Celestial Park. We recently got a chance to explore this new park, and we were SO impressed!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic

Universal announced that preview tickets are available to purchase right NOW for preview dates beginning April 17th through May 8th. Remember that if you purchase tickets for these previews, the availability of experiences in Epic Universe may vary, as the park does not officially open until May 22nd. The park is still getting its final touches, so you may not be able to see and do everything.

How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk

You can purchase preview tickets for Epic Universe on the Universal Orlando website. Preview ticket prices for Annual Passholders range from $123 to $144, so we would expect these to be about the same for Military Freedom Pass Ticket Holders, Universal Rewards Signature VISA Card members, and guests staying at any Universal Orlando hotel. These tickets will likely sell out fast, so book them soon!

Celestial Park

For those who have already purchased tickets to Epic Universe, switching your ticket for a preview ticket is possible. You can call (866) PASS-4-FUN or visit guest services at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, or Universal CityWalk for assistance.
