As Universal Orlando Resort prepares for the official opening of its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe on May 22, 2025, the entertainment destination is giving guests and clients the opportunity to preview the park.

Currently, Annual and Seasonal Passholders, active 2025 Military Freedom Pass Ticket Holders, Universal Rewards Signature VISA Card members and guests staying at any Universal Orlando Hotel are eligible to purchase tickets for an Epic Universe preview for visits beginning April 17, 2025. Additional audiences will be able to purchase tickets in the weeks ahead.

During the preview, guests can earn bragging rights as being some of the first to explore what promises to be one of the most innovative and immersive theme parks ever created. Visitors will enjoy next-level thrills and excitement while encountering awe-inspiring attractions, breathtaking entertainment, delectable dining and themed shopping across five imaginative worlds: Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and Dark Universe.

Additionally, Universal Orlando is currently accepting reservations for its newest hotel, Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel, for arrivals beginning April 16. Located adjacent to Universal Epic Universe, the majestic 500-room Mediterranean escape blends immersion and relaxation, putting guests just steps away from the new theme park.

Hotel guests can enjoy a host of amenities to include a variety of dining options such as Flora Taverna, Aurora Market and Lotus Lagoon, a resort-style zero-entry pool, hot tub and poolside cabanas, a fitness center, game room and fan-favorite merchandise from the Universal Studios Store.

Food and beverage options are also available from the top floor at Bar Helios, featuring stunning views into Universal Epic Universe.

Helios Grand Hotel guests will have a dedicated entrance to Epic Universe accessible from the hotel lobby (valid theme park admission required) as well as theme park benefits exclusive to Universal hotel guests.

These include Early Park Admission to select Universal theme parks – which will expand to include Universal Epic Universe beginning May 23, 2025 - up to one hour before the park opens (valid theme park admission required), complimentary shuttle bus transportation to the theme parks and Universal CityWalk, and more.
