Universal's groundbreaking new theme park, Universal Epic Universe, is set to open in just over two months. With five lands inspired by popular movie and game franchises like Universal Classic Monsters, Nintendo, "Harry Potter," and more, theme park fans are eagerly anticipating the park's opening on May 22.

For those looking forward to experiences such as a life-size Mario Kart race in Super Nintendo World or visiting the British Ministry of Magic in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic via Metro-Floo — there is good news: one-day tickets are now on sale for Universal Epic Universe.

Initially, ticket sales were restricted to annual pass holders or individuals purchasing Universal Orlando vacation packages. These packages included select three-, four-, and five-day admission tickets to Universal's theme parks, granting one-day access to Epic Universe. While these packages remain available, guests can now purchase one-day ticket options as well.
