If you’re visiting Epic Universe with infants, little ones or those who with special needs, The Family Care Center is an absolute lifesaver!

From details on the rides, to shows,  characters, playgrounds, and must-know tips this guide will make your day at Epic Universe legendary.  This land transports guests onto the Isle of Berk, from How to Train Your Dragon , where dragons and Vikings live as one. It features dramatic rockwork, big timber woodwork, viking statues and lots of... DRAGONS!  The Isle of Berk spans about 15.5 acres. You’ll see 30 dragons representing 17 different species around the land — some in animatronic displays, others as interactive encounters. It features 3 rides, 1 show, and 1 playground. Each of the rides has a Family Room for Rider Swap, or a place to wait if someone in the party doesn't want to ride.  Family Room with Movie 1. Hiccup’s Wing Gliders- Family coaster / “flying glider” experience. A glider-style roller coaster where riders “fly” across the lagoon and over Berk. The ride reaches speeds of up to 45 mph. This coaster may be a bit intense for anyone under 5. The ride h...

Between dragon dens, dark castles, and toadstools, we tried lots of good food at Epic Universe. Some bites were so good I’m still dreaming about them. Others, not so much. Here are 5 things we loved at Epic Universe (plus a few side notes of what we didn't.) 🐉 1. Meatlug’s Chicken Bowl – Spit Fyre Grill (Isle of Berk) Spit Fyre Grill is a counter service spot near the ride Fyre Drill. You can mobile order or walk up to order at the window. The Chicken bowl? Absolute fire. Meatlug knows what’s up. It was savory, and flavorful and just felt right in Berk.  It was a chicken breast on a stick, with a delicious drizzle of paprika sauce, grilled brussel sprouts, roasted red peppers, shredded cheddar, and ancient grains. Healthy, but satistfying! I also tried the Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Cider, it’s basically summer in a cup. Highly recommend if you like your drinks sweet and a little sparkly.  Meatlugs Chicken Bowl & Cider  Meatlugs Bowl SpitFyre Grill seating area Stoi...

If you’re planning a visit to Universal’s Epic Universe and want a stay that feels just as magical as the parks themselves, then Helios Grand Hotel is the place to be. I recently stayed there and couldn’t wait to spill all the details. From gorgeous rooms to exclusive perks and great views this resort exceeded my expectations in some ways - and surprised me in others. Helios is located adjacent to the new park, but furhter away from the original two Universal Orlando parks.  Lobby Desk 🌟 Theme: Mediterranean Magic with Modern Luxury Helios has a stunning Greek-Mediterranean theme that feels both upscale and relaxing.  The hotel is one main building with only 500 rooms, not a resort style layout with multiple wings or buildings. There is one pool, within close proximity to the back of the resort. There are ample loungers, umbrellas, complimentary towels, sunscreen, and cold water. They have roaming servers to bring you drinks as well. The pool has a zero entry area for kid...
