Located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, this live show draws from the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Expect an enchanting, mysterious performance filled with magical creatures, illusion, and wizarding wonder.
Set in Celestial Park, this nighttime spectacular is pure cosmic magic. With dazzling lights, stunning water effects, and a stirring musical score, Astronomica transforms the night sky into a breathtaking finale you’ll remember long after you leave the park.
Taking center stage in the Isle of Berk, this high-energy stage show tells the heartwarming tale of a dragon who resists training and the determined Vikings who try to win it over. With appearances by fan favorites like Hiccup, Astrid, and Gobber, plus a mix of humor, adventure, and dazzling visuals, this one is a must-see for families and How to Train Your Dragon fans.
