Universal's Epic Universe has dining experiences and snacks galore. Attractions that envelop you within the action and thrills. You can even stay in a hotel where you can watch roller coasters race through the sky from your room.

After riding everything, snacking our way around the 5 breathtaking lands and meeting all the wonderful characters of Epic Universe we have come to a conclusion. Universal's Epic Universe isn't just the world's newest theme park. It is also the best.

With so many ways to fall in love with Epic Universe we thought we'd offer up 10 reasons why this is the best theme you can experience right now...

Universal's Epic Universe is the most immersive theme park in Orlando, if not the world.

As you enter through each of the portals from Celestial Park you are instantly transported into another place. Be it the darkly beautiful monster filled village of Darkmoor at Dark Universe, the colourful in every way possible Super Nintendo World or the Fantastic Beasts inspired Parisian streets of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic. 

Each of the four lands beyond Celestial Park has its own vibe and rhythm. How To Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk is ripe for adventure with rides and an expansive layout. Whilst the streets of Paris invite you to relax and interact with the magical windows around you.

The attractions help to immerse you in the lands on a whole other level. The queue area for Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry is a wow moment for fans of the movie franchise as you travel by Metrofloo to the heart of the London ministry. 

If you ever fell in love with the Universal Monster movies then Monsters Unleashed: The Frankenstein Experiment will blow you away. Donkey Kong's Mine-Cart Madness is a laughter inducing ride where you cleverly jump the track as you go. Whilst in Isle of Berk, the family thrill coaster features charming animatronics of Hiccup and Toothless.

On top of the attractions, each land has either a show, character meet and greets or unique experiences that help bring the lands to life. See Toothless sour above your head. Have a conversation with Frankenstein's Monster and his bride. You can even hang out with the incredibly adorable Toad in Super Nintendo World.

Epic Universe has mastered transporting guests into their favourite franchises in a way that you have always dreamed of doing.
