Denver, CO, Epic Universe Vacation Planning FAQs

How long does it take to fully explore Epic Universe?

If you want to fully explore Epic Universe, you should plan to spend at least 2 days in the park. If you're fine just visiting the highlights, you can explore it in 1 day.

Another popular option is to extend your trip for a full Universal Orlando vacation. Spending 5-6 days gives you enough time to explore all of the parks, and possibly some of the other parts of Orlando.

When is the best time to visit Epic Universe?

There isn't one "best" time to visit Epic Universe, as it depends on your priorities. For seasons, you'll want to consider crowds, special events, and available promotions.

Less popular times of year generally offer better promotions, and shorter wait times. Higher-demand periods are the reverse: More crowds and higher prices, but more special events and typically easier scheduling.

You should also think about what day(s) of the week you want to visit. Sundays are generally the least crowded days, while Mondays tend to have the longest wait times – keep in mind, though, that these are variable and can be subject to the particulars of any given day.

Does the Epic Universe theme park allow you to bring in food?

As a general rule, you cannot bring food into Universal theme parks. There are a small number of exceptions, though: Park policy allows you to bring in up to 2 liters of bottled water, and a small amount of food in specific circumstances (for example, carbohydrates for a diabetic).

If you are allowed to bring in food, you'll face restrictions on the size of your cooler as well (up to the size of 8.5"x6"x6" is allowed). Regardless of your food situation, you are allowed to bring in a refillable water bottle.

Are there places to fill your water bottle at Epic Universe?

Yes! Epic Universe makes it easy to stay hydrated during your time in the park. If you remember your water bottle, there are several water refill stations scattered throughout the park.

If you don't have a water bottle, most of the park's dining locations will also have free water cups available.

Can I bring a bag to Epic Universe?

Bags and backpacks are allowed within Epic Universe. Just keep in mind that it will need to go through security.

One thing to consider is how big of a pack to bring with you. Because several of the rides don't allow packs, you'll want something that you can store in a locker if necessary. These lockers use photo validation technology to provide a seamless locker experience.

Is Epic Universe cash-free?

Epic Universe is not a cash-free park. Universal has started experimenting with a cashless park in Volcano Bay, but this has yet to apply to Epic Universe.

Some people still prefer to avoid cash in Epic Universe, particularly for food. The app makes it convenient to order your food early without waiting in line.

Should I arrive at the park before opening?

Ideally, you should arrive at Epic Universe at least half an hour before opening. Generally, the park will open at 10:00 in the morning, while letting people with Early Park Admission in an hour early (the exact time can vary depending on the season).

When planning your schedule, don't forget to account for travel time and getting through security.

As soon as people get in, they tend to go to the most popular rides. There isn't one best way to handle the crowds: You can either try to get ahead of them, or look for attractions that aren't as busy.
