In a surprise reveal, the Star Trek: Picard Bridge Set will be part of Universal Studios Hollywood‘s “Fan Fest Nights” in 2025. The iconic bridge of the USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation was restored for Picard’s third and final season. Now, it seems Trekkies will get a chance to explore it in person. Universal Fan Fest Nights will kick off exclusively at Universal Studios Hollywood on Friday, April 25 and continue on select nights through Sunday, May 18, 2025.
It was previously announced that the USS Enterprise-D would be featured at Universal Fan Fest Nights. We did not know in what capacity at the time of the original announcement. Universal Studios Hollywood has revealed that the actual bridge set piece featured in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard will be a “major component” of the experience, inviting guests and fans to enjoy a unique opportunity to see it as part of this all-new event.
What To Expect?
It’s a big surprise that the Star Trek: Picard Bridge set will be part of Fan Fest Nights. But what should Trekkies expect? This exciting experience will boldly take guests on an immersive and thrilling adventure aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. They will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step onto the bridge. This is an original set piece featured in Picard’s third and final season.
Universal Fan Fest Nights will be a limited-time, after-hours experience exclusive to Universal Studios Hollywood. Therefore, if you’re located some distance away, your chances of seeing this experience are quite limited. It’s also an extra-ticketed event, which means it’s outside the normal park experience. Universal is offering sign-ups via their website for those interested in taking part.
Star Trek is not the only big sci-fi franchise participating in Universal Fan Fest Nights. For example, anime series such as One Piece and Jujitsu Kaisen will be present. Additionally, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Back to the Future, and Dungeons & Dragons will also be present, each with its own unique experience.
To Beam Down, or To Not Beam Down..
Will you be beaming down to the Star Trek Universal Fan Fest Nights? Universal Fan Fest Nights will kick off exclusively at Universal Studios Hollywood on Friday, April 25 and continue on select nights through Sunday, May 18, 2025. The chance to see and be a part of the USS Enterprise-D bridge sounds fantastic, but it’s a long way to go for many. Perhaps in the future, experiences like this will come to more places worldwide.
We’ll provide more updates for you when we have them!
