Before opening Epic Universe in Orlando Florida on May 22, 2025, Universal Orlando Resort will launch the National Epic Universe Portal Tour across select cities this spring. It will give fans an exciting glimpse of the adventures that await in the immersive new theme park. The tour will include stops in Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago. It will bring a one-of-a-kind “epic” experience directly to fans!

The centerpiece of the tour will be a gigantic, 30-foot-tall Chronos – a replica of the icon of Universal Epic Universe and the gateway that guests will enter to experience the theme park’s five incredibly immersive worlds: Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.

As the tour makes its way through iconic locations in each city, guests will be invited to approach the mesmerizing portal structure to witness action-packed sequences that celebrate the incredible adventures of the new theme park. What exactly you’ll experience when entering the portal hasn’t been shared yet, but from their description it looks like video will be involved.

Attendees will get the chance to take a photo beside the portal. They can visit the structure at night for an awe-inspiring, spectacular night show with dynamic lighting and all-encompassing music. This alone is a fabulous reason to go see it!

Theme park enthusiasts visiting the portal will also have the chance to enter a sweepstakes to win a trip to Universal Orlando Resort and experience Universal Epic Universe for themselves!

The National Epic Universe Portal Tour will be open to guests on the below dates from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. (subject to change).
