Tickets for Universal Nights at Universal Epic Universe are now on sale. Universal Orlando Resort opened sales on August 13, 2026. The limited-capacity after-hours event is set for two Saturday nights. Those dates are October 3 and October 17.
Theme Park Shark covered Universal Nights in the July Universal Nights story.
Universal Orlando Resort said the event gives nighttime access to all five worlds. That access includes attractions, entertainment, character interactions and more. The resort also includes complimentary specialty snacks and beverages. Tickets start at $179.99 plus tax per person.
The clock
Universal Nights runs from 9 p.m. to midnight on event dates. Guests can arrive as early as 7 p.m. That early window is extra time in the park. It includes the nighttime spectacular Universal Celestial Goodnight. The show happens before the event officially begins.
The press release does not print a showtime for Celestial Goodnight. It only places the spectacular before the 9 p.m. start. Shark already reported the show’s July debut in the Celestial Goodnight post.
