Universal Orlando Resort has officially expanded with the grand opening of Epic Universe on May 22, 2025. As the most ambitious theme park project from Universal to date, Epic Universe introduces new lands, thrilling rides, immersive experiences, and brand new resort offerings you won’t see anywhere else. If you’re planning a visit, here’s a complete guide to Epic Universe tickets, prices and what you can expect.
Epic Universe Opening & Access
As Universal Orlando’s fourth theme park, Epic Universe marks a major expansion following Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay. The park is located a short shuttle ride from the other Universal parks and offers guests new themed lands including Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon, Isle of Berk, Dark Universe and Celestial Park.
Ticket Options & Pricing
There are several ticket options depending on how many parks you want to visit and how many days you plant to stay. Below is a breakdown of the most common options:
Single-Day Tickets (Epic Universe Only)
- Prices start at $139 for guests age 10+ and can increase to around $199 depending on the date.
Multi-Day Tickets (With One Epic Universe Day Included)
Multi-day park packages typically include:
- 1 day at Epic Universe
- 2-4 days at Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and/or Volcano Bay
- Base Tickets (one park per day) or Park-to-Park (access to multiple parks per day)
Important Ticket Details
- Multi-day tickets include only one day at Epic Universe. Additional Epic Universe days may be available in the future.
- Park-to-Park tickets apply to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay – not to Epic Universe unless explicitly stated.
Add-Ons & Perks
- Express Pass: Available for Epic Universe; skip-the-line access starts around $160-$340 depending on the date.
- Early Park Admission: Included with Universal hotel stays and select multi-day ticket packages.
- Helios Grand Hotel: An upscale on-site hotel offering guests exclusive access through a dedicated entrance to Epic Universe.
- Complimentary Shuttle: Free transportation between all Universal parks and CityWalk.
Choosing the Right Ticket
If you only want to see Epic Universe, go with a single-day ticket. For a mix of all parks, opt for a 3-5 day base ticket or park-to-park ticket plus a single-day Epic Universe ticket. A perk to staying at a Universal hotel is you will receive Early Admission perks. If you’re visiting during peak times, adding an Express Pass can help reduce wait time.
