Universal Orlando Guide | Parks | Resorts | Book now

More than 50 attractions, entertainment, dining, and shopping experiences across 5 mega worlds spun from the adventures of your fave films and games. Everybody remain calm, Universal Epic Universe is almost here.

CELESTIAL PARK

Where it all starts
It all starts with Celestial Park. Set at the very heart of Universal Epic Universe, this is the first world you’ll step foot in. But your local park this is not – it’s all about mega lush living gardens and shimmering waters surrounded by some seriously stunning architecture inspired by both astronomy and mythology.

ATTRACTIONS

It’s not just gorgeous greenery though, there’s rides too. From the dual-launching Stardust Racers to Constellation Carousel, where you’ll whirl around aboard constellations that glide forwards, backwards…even make 360-degree turns! All through a choreographed dance of music and starlight across the Milky Way. So nothing major, then.

DINING & SHOPPING

You can grab a bite to eat here too, from full-service sort of places to quick-serve spots. Try Atlantic – a proper sit-down ‘surf and turf’ restaurant set inside a Victorian era aquarium with some top-notch views of Celestial Park itself. Or give The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant a go to take a journey through Chinese, Japanese, and Thai nosh – think neon dragons and ethereal lanterns.

Celestial Park is also the place to be to stock up on alllll the exclusive merchandise you’re desperate to get your mitts on in some seriously detailed retail locations like the
Nintendo Super Star Store, and Moonship Chocolates & Celestial sweets, where you can fill your pockets with all the sweet treats you’ve ever dreamed of.

For something chill, there’s always Pizza Moon too, which’ll – you guessed it – serve up enough pizzas to get you through several verses of a certain Dean Martin classic.

RESORTS

Overlooking all of this? That’s the Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel. You can’t miss it – it’s the majestic 500-room hotel that comes with one-of-a-kind views and sits at the entrance of Celestial Park itself. That’s right, no shuttles to and from the park required, just wake up and roll straight into your adventure using your very own dedicated entrance. Swish.

You can find out more about Universal Helios Grand Hotel, as well as other resorts you can stay at, including the new Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort, over on our dedicated Resorts page.
