In 2026, most multi-day, multi-park ticket options invite you to move freely between Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. The three day, four day, and five day multi-park tickets allow you to move freely between these three theme parks for the duration of the ticket.

There is also a four park option that includes the Volcano Bay water park. You can move freely between all four parks with this option.

Where can you visit with Universal two day, multi-park tickets?

With two day, multi-park tickets, you have two different options in 2026:

• One day to move freely between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure and one separate day at Epic Universe
• Two days to move freely between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure

Note that there is no two day, multi-park ticket option that includes Volcano Bay.

Tip: You need a ticket that allows you to visit both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure in the same day in order to ride the Hogwarts Express.

Is there a one day ticket just for Epic Universe?

You can buy a one day ticket to Epic Universe.

Can you park hop to Epic Universe?

Starting in 2026 you can park hop to Epic Universe with multi-park tickets that are three, four or five days in length. This means you can buy a three, four, or five day ticket and spend as much time as you want at Epic Universe.

With two day, multi-park tickets you get one day to visit both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure and another day to visit Epic Universe only.

Can you buy Epic Universe tickets at the gate?

It may be possible to buy Epic Universe tickets at the front entrance of the park. Even when tickets are shown as sold out online, there may be a limited number of tickets available for purchase in person.

It’s not a good idea for your entire group to head to the park on your vacation without tickets though.

Aside from availability, you will not have access to the best prices available by purchasing tickets when you arrive.

Best Time to Visit Epic Universe for the Lowest Prices

You may also consider visiting during off peak times to avoid crowds and make the most of your time and budget.

• September, particularly the week after Labor Day, is a great time to visit Orlando as back to school becomes the priority for families.
• Late April through the middle of May can be more enjoyable as spring break is over and summer crowds haven’t arrived yet.
• Also consider mid January when the holiday fun is wrapping up through February before spring break starts.

Tip: Higher ticket prices can mean it’s a busier time. You may see lower ticket prices during the times mentioned above.
