Epic Universe’s Isle of Berk: Your Ultimate Guide from a Travel Pro Who’s Been There (Four Times!)

Welcome to Isle of Berk, where the skies are filled with dragons, the air hums with Viking spirit, and your inner adventurer gets to run wild. As a Certified Universal Parks & Resorts Specialist who’s visited Epic Universe four times during the preview period (yep, FOUR 🐲💪), I’m here to guide you through everything this magical land has to offer—from dragon gliders to Viking grub.

So grab your axe (or just a churro) and let’s take flight into one of the most immersive lands ever created!

🧭 Where is Isle of Berk?

Nestled inside Universal’s Epic Universe (official grand opening May 22, 2025), the Isle of Berk is 15.5 acres of pure dragon loving delight. Themed after DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon series, this land is designed to transport you into a post-HTTYD2 world—with kinetic energy, Viking vibes, and more dragons than you can count.

➡️ Tip from me: The land connects to Celestial Park through a portal—and you’ll feel the shift in energy instantly. It’s jaw-dropping.

🎢 Ride or Fly: Berk’s BIG Attractions

🔥 Hiccup’s Wing Gliders (Min Height: 40”)

Take flight with Hiccup and Toothless on this family-friendly coaster that soars above the village. It’s smooth, scenic, and perfect for your first ride of the day!

💦 Fyre Drill (No Height Requirement!)

This interactive boat battle is a wet and wild showdown! Think “Pirates meets water cannons,” hosted by your favorite twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut.

🐉 Dragon Racer’s Rally (Min Height: 48”)

A spinning, barrel-rolling dragon trainer that goes 67 feet in the air. Choose your intensity—mild to wild.

🪵 Viking Training Camp (Play Zone)

Got littles in tow? This dragon-themed adventure playground has slides, agility zones, sheep launchers (you read that right 🐑💥), and a Viking drum circle.

🐾 Meet the Dragons (and Their Humans)

This is not your average theme park meet-and-greet. Meeting Toothless may just emotionally wreck you—in the best way.

✨ Hiccup & Toothless – A MUST. Go early before the line heats up. Bring tissues, this may be more emotional that you expect.

💙 Astrid & Stormfly – A picture-perfect moment.

🤣 Ruffnut & Tuffnut – Pure sibling chaos and comedic gold.

🪄 Plus: Roaming Vikings, flying dragons, and surprise baby dragon moments throughout the day!

🍗 Feast Like a Viking

🍻 Mead Hall: This stunning dining hall serves hearty Viking fare—roasts, fish, meads & more. It's immersive, atmospheric, and... yep, Mobile Order is your friend!!

🔥 Spit Fyre Grill: Quick-service flame-grilled eats cooked by an unseen dragon chef (wink).

🍖 Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel: Snacks + race-themed bites = the perfect pit stop.

🍬 How to Treat Your Dragon: A candy lover’s dream—and don’t forget to look at the ceiling. Seriously, it’s adorable.

🎭 Don’t Miss the Stage Show!

🎶 The Untrainable Dragon

This indoor live show features flying dragons, incredible puppetry, music, and a heartwarming story. It’s epic, emotional, and a must-see (I cried... every time).

➡️ Shows happen multiple times daily. Arrive early for the best seats.

✨ Immersive Details to Watch For

Over 30 dragons across 17 species fill the land
Authentic Viking design—from 9-foot doors to hand-carved benches
Lagoon integration into the ride landscape = serious “WOW” factor
Hundreds of themed props (barrels, baskets, crates—oh my!) Even the benches are ADORABLE!

This land doesn’t just look amazing—it feels alive.

🛏️ Sleep Like a Viking!

Want to Top Off the Perfect How to Train Your Dragon Day? ✨Check out the Kids’ Suites inside the brand-new Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a stunning Loews Hotel just steps from the adventure.

These dragon-approved digs are perfect for winding down after your high-flying adventures in Berk. With playful themed touches and family-friendly amenities, it's the dreamy cherry on top of your unforgettable Epic Universe experience!

Bonus Magic? The Universal Helios Grand Hotel offers its own private entrance into Universal Epic Universe—so your day starts and ends with ease, excitement, and just the right touch of epic.

🗺️ Convenience. Immersion. Total Dragon-Loving Luxury. This is how Vikings do vacation.
