This thrilling new park boasts over 50 attractions, immersive entertainment, and distinctive dining and shopping experiences, ensuring a journey filled with excitement for every member of the family.
Before this announcement, Universal had shared details solely about Celestial Park, serving as a gateway to all other worlds while offering its own array of rides, attractions, dining spots, shopping opportunities, and a dedicated hotel.
Universal Orlando Resort invites guests of all ages to embark on a fantastical journey into the vibrant world of How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, one of the five enchanting realms featured at Universal Epic Universe. Here, families will experience the thrill of living amongst dragons as they explore a larger-than-life world filled with exhilarating attractions, beloved character encounters, delectable dining options, and unique shopping experiences. Inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed trilogy, “How to Train Your Dragon,” this immersive land captures the heart, humor, and grandeur of the films.
Developed in collaboration between Universal Creative and the visionary filmmakers from DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk transports guests to a rugged, rocky world where Vikings and dragons coexist in riotous harmony. From towering architecture adorned with intricate details to lush landscapes and vibrant dragon dwellings, every corner of Berk exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere. Guests will be captivated by the bustling village, teeming with lively activity – from dragons in their natural habitats to mischievous sheep attempting to mimic Terrible Terror dragons, ensuring an unforgettable experience at Isle of Berk.
Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by the iconic vista straight from the films – a breathtaking sight featuring a vast sparkling lagoon flanked by two majestic 40-foot-tall Viking statues, overlooking an energetic village perched above churning seas.
