Until recently, Universal Studios Florida consisted of three separate parks – Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay water park.  That all changed in May of 2025 with the opening of their new park, Epic Universe.  To say this new park is “Epic” might be a poor pun, but this park really is amazing.  To be honest, in the eyes of many, Universal Studios Florida has the reputation of not being “family friendly” amongst families with younger children.  So, how does Epic Universe fare in that regard?  Let’s dive into that a little deeper.

If you had told me that Epic Universe would become one of my favorite places to visit, I would have said, “Absolutely no way.” While I’ve always loved the theming that Universal Studios brings to the theme park world, I’m the person who skips most of the rides thanks to my not-so-thrill-friendly stomach. That means I spend most of my park time soaking up the atmosphere, exploring the details, and taste-testing my way through the menus.
