It's time to shine a light on all the fun things that Epic Universe has to offer the little ones in the family! Sometimes, younger kids get left out of the fun at theme parks, but Epic Universe does not let that happen! Here are the top attractions I think the little ones will love at Epic Universe!
Yoshi’s Adventure- This adorable attraction takes you around the world of Yoshi and his friends! In a slow moving cart this ride has great views of Super Nintendo World! If you have Power Up Bands you can also unlock secret points here!
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge- Jump right into the video game in this interactive ride. It's pretty mild and kids will love collecting the coins along the way and “driving” their karts!
Constellation Carousel- Not your Grandma’s carousel! This fun ride gently spins a full 360 degrees and you get to ride fun animals like bears, rabbits and unicorns! This ride is even better at night when it is all lit up!
Fyre Drill- You will get wet, you may get soaked! That's what the sign warns of at the entrance and they are correct! Kids will love that they each get their own water cannon to shoot at targets to get points! Watch out- some of the targets shoot back!
Mine-Cart Madness- A milder coaster for those wanting to dip their toes in the rollercoaster world! Join Donkey Kong as he searches for the Golden Banana! Be Careful- the carts even jump off the tracks!
Check with your Marvelous Mouse Travels agent for current height requirements and ask them about rider swap to make the day even more convenient for your family!
Along with the attractions, there are also plenty of meet and greets for the whole family to enjoy! We loved meeting the whole Mario gang and Toothless and Hiccup are adorable! Check the Universal app or with your travel agent for specific times for these opportunities!
There are also two shows that the whole family will love! Le Cirque Arcanus in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter- Ministry of Magic will amaze you with puppetry and acrobatics. The Untrainable Dragon show in Isle of Berk was the highlight of my day and seeing Toothless fly will have your little ones cheering! Showtimes for these can also be found in the app and they do fill up quickly so plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before showtime!
If your little ones need to run off some steam the Viking Training Camp in Isle of Berk is the best theme park playground I have seen! Great climbing, slides, swings, and tunnels are all shaded and on soft padded ground! My kids would spend all day here alone!
Your little ones won’t feel left out in the slightest at Epic Universe! They will have the time of their lives and will be begging you to book a return trip ASAP! Reach out to your Marvelous Mouse Travels agent to plan a visit to Epic Universe for your family!
