Starting this spring, Universal is bringing a taste of its most ambitious project yet to select cities around the U.S.—and yes, it’s just as epic as it sounds. The star of the show? A massive 30-foot-tall replica of Chronos, the grand gateway to Epic Universe and its five mind-blowing 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.

Each stop on the tour turns an iconic city location into a teaser for what’s to come, inviting fans to snap a pic next to the jaw-dropping portal and soak in the immersive action sequences projected onto the towering arch. By day, the structure is already a spectacle—but by night? It comes alive with dynamic lighting and music that give just a taste of the awe and wonder Epic Universe promises to deliver.

Oh, and did we mention there’s a sweepstakes? Lucky guests who visit the portal can enter for a chance to win a trip to Universal Orlando Resort and be among the first to experience Epic Universe when it opens in 2025.

Here’s where you can catch the portal on tour:

📍 Atlanta, GA – April 11–13 at Pemberton Place (next to World of Coca-Cola)
📍 New York, NY – April 23–26 at Rockefeller Center
📍 Philadelphia, PA – May 16–18 at The Rocky Steps
📍 Chicago, IL – June 13–18 at Pioneer Court
