Truly epic in every sense of the word, Universal Studios has shared the first glimpses of the upcoming Universal Epic Universe as part of the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, US. The fourth theme park of the resort will have astounding never-seen-before attractions, rides, dining and shopping destinations, and luxury hotels. So, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime as the gates swing open in 2025.
Universal Epic Universe spans 750 acres (over 3 square km). It will have five stunning worlds — Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Within them, lie over 50 unprecedented and unforgettable experiences.
Universal Studios released an announcement video on January 30, 2024, which details the 500-room lavish hotel next to the park.
This colossal project has been underway since 2019 and was expected to be ready by 2023 but was delayed because of the pandemic. The Universal Epic Universe joins the line of other magnificent parks — Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal’s Volcano Bay water park.
More about the five themed worlds, their offerings and other details
Celestial Park
“Celestial Park is the cosmic heart of Universal Epic Universe, where wondrous discoveries await among the lush greenery, tree-lined walkways and dancing fountains. Begin your cosmic journey of discovery in a world between worlds full of sensory delights for all to enjoy together,” states Universal Studios.
This is your first destination in the new Universal theme park that connects all the other worlds. The magnum opus is aptly described as a “world in and of itself” by Brian Robinson, Chief Creative Officer, of Universal Creative.
Setting the stage for what’s in store, the entry itself is quite a spectacle. Dotted with gardens, beautiful waterways and several shopping destinations, the Celestial Park is the key to the portal.
Among many things, the new racing coaster called Starfall Racers and the lively Constellation Carousel are the highlights. Enjoy the beautiful pathways, gorgeous architecture and animated fountains and waterfalls.
Another major attraction is the Astronomica. “An interactive wet-play attraction designed as a compass rose that points to the portals and attractions around Epic,” it lights up at night for an extravagant view, states a Universal Studios blog.
This is a haven for shoppers. Visit the Nintendo Super Store for official toys, merchandise, apparel and souvenirs. For those looking to satiate their taste buds, details of two themed restaurants have been revealed — Atlantic and The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant.
The Atlantic will be surrounded by shimmering waters of Neptune’s pool and feature floor-to-ceiling Victorian glass walls. It will offer fresh seafood and surf and turf options.

Meanwhile, The Blue Dragon lives up to its name with neon dragons and a pan-Asian menu with delicacies from China and Japan. Visitors get to dine under lanterns and glowing constellations. They can also grab a drink at the Tiger Bar.
The Helios Grand Hotel is also located next to the Celestial Park and is within walking distance from the Epic. It “offers a fantastical world where the heavens and earth unite to elevate your stay at Universal Epic Universe,” states Universal Studios. The full-service hotel has celestial decor and a Mediterranean theme about it.
The Stella Nova and Terra Luna hotels also offer a resplendent staying option. Although they feature the same galactic and constellation theme, both have different offerings.
Both hotels will have 750 guest rooms each, resort-style amenities and several food and drink options. While Stella Nova opens on January 21, 2025, Terra Luna opens on February 25, 2025. Visitors can book their rooms now.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
The Fantastic Beasts franchise is the muse for this themed world. Guests can step into Paris of the 1920s and traverse to the British Ministry of Magic in the 1990s. “Explore international wizarding communities and the magic that connects them in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Ministry of Magic™,” states Universal Studios.
This comes as Universal Studios’ third Harry Potter-themed park after Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.
Super Nintendo World
Next in the Epic Universe is this adventurous world where you can relive the Nintendo experience in person. From a Mario Kart race to venturing through Donkey Kong Country™, there is a lot to look forward to here.
This themed world comes in line with other Universal Studios’ Super Nintendo parks in California and Japan.
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
Want to unleash your inner warrior? Visitors can head to the Isle of Berk in this themed world to reach the skies with dragons. Revive the How To Train Your Dragon film franchise experience through the Viking village at the centre of Berk, participate in boat battles and dine like Viking lords.
Dark Universe

Taking cues from the Universal Monsters, it carries visitors back to the dens of Dracula and Frankenstein. The official description states, “From the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to a shadowy landscape where monsters roam, Dark Universe is a world of myth and mystery.”
-Which Universal Park has the dragon?
Universal Studios Florida has a dragon in the Diagon Alley-themed world.
-What happened to the dragon ride at Universal?
In 2011, after incidents of serious injuries were reported, Universal Studios decided to stop the Dragon Challenge ride trains to duel at the Universal Studios Florida park. The removal of this signature element caused the hype to fizzle. In 2017, the ride was finally removed.
-Why was the Dragon Challenge removed?
Universal Studios Florida removed the Dragon Challenge ride after incidents of serious injuries by flying objects were reported.
-What replaced Dragon Challenge?
The Dragon Challenge ride was replaced by the Wizarding World roller coaster in 2019, which was later renamed Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
Due to the high demand for Desaru trip, especially during the Singapore and Malaysia school holidays, families are more keen for a day trip to JB or 2D1N JB trip vacation to enjoy in Johor.
Many of us may think that the hottest Johor attraction would be Legoland Malaysia and JB downtown Area.
BUT, according to my survey, DESARU would be the next hottest place of interest in Johor. You may ask “WHY”.
Because a lot of parents would consider bringing their children to have an “ECO” trip or “Rural” trip. This is the reason why there are so many ECO farms begin established recently.
Now, let me list down some PLACE OF INTEREST of Desaru.
Extra –> Kota Tinggi Waterfalls (not recommended for a day trip)
I know most of you may refer to the google map to check which route is the most convenient and shortest path to reach your destination especially when you’re only planning for a DAY TRIP in Johor. You have to plan well before taking a day trip in Desaru.
Desaru Fruit Farm Map
If you are only looking for a DESARU DAY TRIP, I personally think that you can visit all the places that I have listed above.
I will go through one by one starting with the most important place of interest and how to get around in Desaru.
Based on the Desaru map above, you can see that the first destination on Desaru would be “Desaru Fruit Farm“.
If you are coming from Singapore, you will reach around 11:30am – 12:00pm. (If you depart at 8:00am in the morning)
Basically, you need at least 2 to 3 hours to walk around the Desaru Fruit Farm. The tour guide will guide you through all the journey in Desaru Fruit Farm.
Once you’re done touring the fruit farm, they will provide you a variety of fruit for lunch. Don’t miss them! All the fruit are plucked from their farm.
Entrance ticket is priced at around RM25/pax, please note that there is no accommodation provided at Desaru Fruit Farm. Therefore, you need to find the nearest accommodation if you take the 2D1N package.
For Desaru package details please visit here: desarufruitfarm.com
***Please note that Desaru Fruit Farm also provides ATV ride and Paint Ball game (If you plan for a Desaru one day trip, then you wouldn’t have enough time to visit Desaru Ostrich Farm and Sungai Rengit)
After having your stomach filled with fruit (Must Try!), you can consider going to the crocodile farm at Teluk Sengat.
One hour is sufficient to spend in Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm.
Or you can skip the crocodile farm and go to Sungai Rengit area. It is a small town in Kota Tinggi district.
In Sungai Rengit area, you can first visit the Desaru Ostrich Farm. The journey from Desaru Fruit Farm to Sungai Rengit area is about 45 minutes to 1 hour drive.
Desaru Ostrich Farm hosted more than 250++ ostrich and it is the largest ostrich farm in Malaysia.
I personally recommend Desaru Ostrich Farm rather than crocodile farm as it is more fun and excited to play with these long-necked creatures.
Your kids may like this farm very much because they will get the opportunity to feed these ostriches with corn kernels or a bunch of vegetables.
Besides that, you get the chance to touch and stand on the biggest egg in the world. Moreover, you can stand beside the ostriches and take photos together. It is definitely enjoyable and good experience with these ostriches.
But it is still worth to go to crocodile farm. At least your kids know how a real crocodile looks like. 🙂
Note: 1 to 2 hours is enough in ostrich farm.
You may refer to the images below to see what you can expect when you reach there.
After that, you can spend your evening for a delectable dinner at the top Desaru food restaurant. There are 3 options for your choice.
1. Nelayan Seafood By The Coast
2. Jade Garden Seafood Restaurant
3. Restaurant Super Lobster
After you’ve eaten your dinner, you can choose to head back to Singapore, or you can request the driver to stop over at the Desaru Beach to have fun with your family member.
I think this is a great plan for those who look for only a DAY Trip in Desaru area. After dinner at about 7:00pm or 8:00pm, you may need at least 3 hours drive to reach Singapore.
Plan for the 2nd day if you would like to have 2D1N Trip. (Desaru Waterpark)
If you are going to have 2D1N Trip, then you can directly stay in Hard Rock Hotel Desaru or Lotus Desaru Beach Resort after having your dinner at Sungai Rengit.
On the second day, you can have a breakfast in the hotel and then check out from the resort and head to Desaru Waterpark for more water activities!!!
The really cool thing staying at Hard Rock Hotel Desaru is the private access to Desaru Waterpark.
1. Desaru Waterpark (spend time: 6 to 8 hours)
2. Lunch inside waterpark
3. After Desaru Waterpark (heading back to Singapore)

KOREF Activities
The rice farm is situated at the fringe of the tropical rain forest and offers a wide range of real-life eco outdoor activities inclined to its nature. There are nearly 40 different activities for adults and children, but there are only the 10 most popular of them:
1.) Mountain climbing (two mountains are available – Gunung Lambak, which is 510m above sea level and Gunung Belumut. This mountain is 1,1,010m high). 2.) Seasonal hands-on rice farming weeding, rice transplant, harvest and winnow. 3.) Bamboo-rafting. 4.) Drum-raft construction, launch and steer. 5.) Boat rowing. 6.) River crossing (actual or simulated). 7.) Star gazing and astronomy. 8.) Hands-on fish-catching (and release) in the pond. 9.) Night jungle trail and after-dark field exploration. 10.) Field cooking.
