Universal Nights at Epic Universe

Event Overview

Universal Nights is a brand-new, separately ticketed, limited-capacity after-hours event debuting at Epic Universe in fall 2026 — it is not explicitly branded as a Halloween or Christmas event, but it is Epic Universe's first confirmed seasonal/limited-time evening celebration, and it runs during the Halloween Horror Nights season.

The event runs 9pm to midnight with early entry starting at 7pm, giving ticket holders access to all of Epic Universe's attractions after dark, along with character meet-and-greets and complimentary specialty snacks and beverages.

Highlights

• Two confirmed 2026 dates: Saturday, October 3 and Saturday, October 17
• All Epic Universe attractions open to ticket holders during event hours
• Complimentary specialty snacks and beverages included, such as Celestial Popcorn and Kimchi Bao, plus Coca-Cola refills
• Character meet-and-greet opportunities included
• Early park access from 7pm before the official 9pm–midnight event window

Planning Tips

• This is not a confirmed Halloween- or Christmas-themed event — it's a general after-hours access event; don't expect Halloween-specific theming or scare actors.
• Tickets go on sale August 13, 2026 for a limited-capacity event, so book early if a specific date is a priority.
• Because capacity is limited, ride wait times during the 9pm–midnight window are expected to be dramatically shorter than daytime — prioritize the most in-demand attractions first.
• Universal has stated additional seasonal events may be announced throughout the year — verify current offerings closer to your visit.
