The only thing better than hanging out at Universal Epic Universe during the day is… Epic Universe at night! The Orlando resort is giving fans even more reasons to stay late at its newest theme park. Following the debut of its nighttime spectacular, Universal Celestial Goodnight, Epic Universe has announced a brand-new after-hours event coming this fall: Universal Nights!
Experiencing Epic Universe as the sun goes down
If you’re looking to experience the new park with less crowds and exclusive perks, Universal Nights is calling your name. Running on Saturday, October 3 and Saturday, October 17, this “limited capacity party under the stars” lets you roam around from 9 p.m. to midnight.
However, ticket holders to the event are able to arrive as early as 7 p.m. — perfect for catching Universal Celestial Goodnight before the park clears out.
Included in the cost of admission are unlimited specialty snacks, such as crispy Kimchi Bao and berry-flavored Celestial Popcorn. To wash it all down, attendees also receive a cup upon entry to grant them free refills at any Coca-Cola Freestyle location. And because it wouldn’t be a true Universal trip without some of your favorite characters, you can expect exclusive meet-and-greets offering rare photo ops!
A spectacular new night show
Debuting today, Universal Celestial Goodnight is a breathtaking spectacular transforming Celestial Park into an immersive theater of water, light and music. It’ll run nightly with nearly 600 synchronized light fixtures and over 350 larger-than-life fountains, all illuminated by a whopping seven million LED lights.
Guests will see vibrant colors representing SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, followed by aquatic choreography inspired by the soaring flights of How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk. The vibe then shifts to the spellbinding Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, before heading into the gothic shadows of Universal Monsters of Dark Universe. The entire experience then culminates in a sky-filling fireworks display!
How to attend Universal Nights this fall
Tickets go on sale August 13 on the Universal Orlando website, beginning at $179.99 plus tax per person. Because the park is so popular and there’s only two dates to choose from, they are expected to sell out quickly! More details will be shared in the weeks ahead, according to the resort.
