Epic Universe after dark, smaller crowds, unlimited snacks and exclusive access to all five worlds — Universal Nights is bringing a special after-hours experience to Universal Epic Universe this fall.
On select nights in October and November, guests can experience the park with limited capacity from 9 PM–12 AM, with event admission beginning as early as 7 PM. Only five Universal Nights were announced for 2026, and with the first two already sold out, just three nights remain!
EXPERIENCE ALL FIVE WORLDS AFTER DARK
One of the best parts of Universal Nights is getting to experience all five worlds of Epic Universe at night: Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. Each world takes on a completely different atmosphere after sunset, making simply exploring the park part of the experience.
And then there are the rides! Race through a glowing Celestial Park on Stardust Racers, soar above the Isle of Berk on Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, jump the track on Mine-Cart Madness, escape Universal Monsters on Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, or head into the Ministry on Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. We especially love the idea of riding Stardust Racers at night, with its illuminated coaster trains racing across the sky like comets.
SEE THE NEW NIGHTTIME SHOW
Arrive as early as 7PM and you can also catch Universal Celestial Goodnight, Epic Universe’s new nighttime spectacular. The show brings Celestial Park to life with fireworks, dancing fountains, colorful lighting and music inspired by all five worlds — a fun way to start the evening before exclusive event hours begin at 9 PM.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
During Universal Nights, guests can enjoy exclusive after-hours access to attractions and experiences across all five worlds, limited capacity, special character meet-and-greets and a few extra perks.
Guests can also enjoy unlimited Celestial Popcorn and Kimchi Bao in Celestial Park, plus 100+ Coca-Cola beverage choices and refills throughout the event.
