Park-hopping at Epic Universe!
Universal Orlando park-to-park tickets for three days or more will include the option to park-hop to and from Universal Epic Universe beginning Jan. 1, 2026. Guests with park-to-park tickets can come and go freely among Epic Universe and Universal Orlando’s other two theme parks — Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure — as often as they’d like, on any day of their vacation. An upper tier adds the Universal Volcano Bay water park into the mix.

Some important notes:
Park hopping to and from Epic Universe will only be available with 3-, 4-, and 5-day park-to-park tickets. Guests with a 2- or 1-day park-to-park ticket can still only park-hop between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
There is still no annual pass option that includes Epic Universe.
Florida residents receive a discount on 3-day park-to-park tickets, but pay full-price for 4-day and 5-day park-to-park tickets (see pricing below).
Alternatively, single-day Epic Universe tickets for 2026 are also now available.
2026 ticket sales launched on Oct. 23, 2025. Epic Universe opened on May 22, 2025, and until now, Epic Universe admission was always in a separate category, not allowing park-hopping with Epic Universe and Universal’s other parks. Effective Jan. 1, 2026, that’s no longer the case.
