If you’re visiting Epic Universe with kids, Celestial Park is where your adventure should begin. It’s more than just the center of the park—it’s a relaxing, exciting, and beautiful space built for families. We visited with our toddler and 5-year-old, and this land quickly became our favorite place to regroup, cool off, and have fun.
Right away, Celestial Park feels different. It’s open, full of color, and easy to explore. You’ll see glowing trees, splash fountains, and sculptures that move in the wind. The path is wide and smooth—perfect for strollers. And there’s something calming about the space, even with the excitement all around.
Our first stop? The Constellation Carousel. It’s a gentle ride, but the design is out of this world—literally. Instead of horses, you ride floating space creatures that spin in every direction. Our toddler loved it so much we rode it twice. It’s a great first ride to start the day or a calm break later on.
For our older son, the big thrill was Stardust Racers. This roller coaster is one of the top rides in Epic Universe. It’s fast, smooth, and lights up at night. He rode it with my partner and came off full of energy and stories. If your child meets the height requirement, it’s a can’t-miss.
In the center of the land is Astronomica, a splash zone where kids can run through fountains and play in the water. It was hot the day we went, and this area saved us. Our toddler kicked off her shoes and splashed for 30 minutes while we relaxed on nearby benches. It’s fun, safe, and shaded in parts—ideal for young children.
Food and snacks are easy to find in Celestial Park. We grabbed fruit cups and pretzels from a snack cart and later shared sandwiches at a shaded café. There are also allergy-friendly items on most menus. Everything was close by, so we never had to walk far with tired kids.
At night, the land glows. We caught part of the evening lagoon show before bedtime and it was magical. Lights reflected off the water, music played through the trees, and it felt like the perfect end to our day. If your kids can stay up, it’s worth seeing.
Here’s what we recommend:
- Start your day with the carousel or splash pad
- Use Celestial Park as a quiet mid-day break zone
- Eat early to beat crowds and rest in the shade
- Return in the evening to enjoy the lights
Celestial Park is peaceful, playful, and designed with families in mind. Whether you’re visiting with toddlers, big kids, or a mix of both, it’s the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the moment.
