If there is one thing that Universal Orlando's brand-new park has accomplished, it's how to see theme parks in a whole new light. A perfect example of this is Universal Epic Universe's Celestial Park, one of the 5 worlds you'll get to experience. To the untrained eye, you'd think Celestial Park is just the entrance into the center of Epic. ...and while that may be true to some extent, it's so much more. It's special.
Celestial Park is the heart of Epic Universe. It's a world between worlds and you're going to want to really spend some time taking in the sights and sounds of this mesmerizing escape.
The Rides
Stardust Racers
Say hello to the new and improved Dualling Dragons. Blazing through the skies of Celestial Park, Stardust Racers is a dual-launch racing coaster that hurls you across the cosmos.
Constellation Carousel
Ride celestial lions, dragons, bears and more as the constellations themselves take physical form on this imaginative, cosmic carousel.
The Sights and Sounds
Since Celestial Park is your gateway to the other four worlds of Epic Universe, it's easy to breeze through it without taking in its beauty ... and that's a real mistake.
First, located at the back of Universal Epic Universe, you can see how GRAND the Universal Helios Grand Hotel really is. This brand-new hotel is a masterpiece.
Secondly, we're not sure who made the soundtrack for this "world," but they need a raise. It's fun, energetic and impossible not to move to.
You can eat, sip, and walk to the beat of the stars ...and catch a fountain show too.
Let's check out the (what feels like endless) food options!
Atlantic
Across the shimmering waters of the Neptune pool in Celestial Park, Atlantic is an undersea culinary fantasy. Inside glass walls reminiscent of an enormous Victorian aquarium, starfish dwell peacefully with serene, illuminated fish swimming above you. Indulge in exceptional seafood and steaks or enjoy a cocktail at the lively Aquaria Bar.
The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant
Take a culinary journey across Asia at The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant in Universal Epic Universe. Step inside a bustling courtyard, where it’s always evening under the glow of ethereal lanterns. Enjoy authentic Pan-Asian cuisine as dazzling neon dragons chase across the walls or curl up with a cocktail at The Tiger Bar.
The Oak & Star Tavern
Follow the aromas of savory barbecue to The Oak & Star Tavern at Universal Epic Universe. Located in a cosmic garden in Celestial Park, you can gather with family or friends round the fiery hearth of an ancient, starlight-filled oak tree. The tavern is also home to The Plastered Owl bar, where you can enjoy a drink and lively conversation.
Pizza Moon
Turns out the moon really is made of cheese… and pepperoni. Gather your group and blast off to Pizza Moon in Celestial Park, an early 1900s Victorian theater converted into a spectacular eatery where the finest pizzas in Universal Epic Universe are prepared. From a basic cheese pie to the works, every pizza deserves a standing ovation.
HOT TIP! Pizza Moon does NOT offer "to go" boxes. So, if you want to snack on your left-over slices, bring a Ziploc with you!
Meteor Astropub
A vibrant gastropub with a celestial twist awaits beer enthusiasts, cocktail lovers and burger connoisseurs. Enjoy all the pub fare you know and love in this meteor-themed hangout. Stop in for a quick bite and stay for a stellar time.
The Plastered Owl
Amazing ales and good times are on tap in this whimsical bar. Named for a comical celestial owl, this hot spot serves up the coldest beers from the tap of the ancient tree at the tavern's center. While here, check out the adventures of the Plastered Owl and his companions captured on the wall carvings all around you.
Star Sui Bao
Perched near Stardust Racers in Celestial Park, Star Sui Bao is an Asian food cart offering unique takes on the traditional steamed Asian bao bun.
Frosty Moon
Tucked away among the greenery of Celestial Park is the Frosty Moon ice cream stand, featuring a fuchsia ice cream cone ringed with gold orbits atop the kiosk, hinting at the snowy treats inside.
Comet Dogs
Treat your tastebuds to out-of-this-world hot dogs. With all the best toppings, Comet Dogs is sure to please. Grab a bite and enjoy the celestial music and sights of Constellation Carousel nearby.
CelesTiki
It’s the trendiest tiki bar in the cosmos! Explorers can enjoy exotic drinks that can’t be found anywhere else in the universe, like Waturi Punch, a refreshing rum cocktail. Sip up and chill out.
Bar Zenith
Ignite your tastebuds with this invigorating concoction featuring light rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and a splash of mint essence. A sprig of mint and a lime wheel complete this feel-good sipper.
On top of eating, drink, and dancing the day away in Celestial Park, it's the perfect place to pick up a souvenir. So, make sure to stop in one of its many stores, like Moonship Chocolates & Celestial Sweets, where you can find sweets gathered by Captain Cacoa (an adventurous teddy bear who searches through the stars with his pal Maya of the Skies)!
BIG TIP! After you've spent the day hopping through the cosmos, make sure to take in Celestial Park at night. She's gorgeous!
