Not just a ride—this is an adventure into the heart of the How to Train Your Dragon universe, set between the second and third films in the franchise. This is Berk at its finest, where dragons soar through the skies and Vikings revel in their bond with these legendary creatures.

As you step through the portal, the breathtaking vista of Berk unfolds before you. Cliffs, Viking longhouses, and banners fluttering in the wind set the stage. The colors and designs of the land reflect the diverse dragons that call Berk home, and everywhere you turn, there’s a new discovery waiting.
The adventures begin with Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a family coaster designed by Hiccup himself. With his ever-inventive mind, he has crafted a thrilling way for you to experience dragon flight—without an actual dragon! But there’s a catch: Toothless is unimpressed with this new technology and launches the gliders before their wings are even attached. The result? A high-speed, exhilarating ride across the lagoon, dipping and diving unpredictably as you skim just above the water.
For those craving even more excitement, Dragon Racers Rally puts you in the middle of Berk’s most daring sport—dragon racing. Here, you control the intensity of your ride, spinning and soaring through the air in a test of courage and skill. Whether you opt for a mild experience or an all-out thrill ride, the choice is yours.

But Berk isn’t just about racing dragons—it’s also about learning to live with them. In Fyre Drill, a wildly fun boat ride, guests must put out dragon-related fires using water cannons while competing against the other side of the boat. Be warned: Vikings who play with fire are bound to get soaked!
For younger Vikings, Viking Training Camp is the perfect place to interact with the dragons of Berk. This play area isn’t just about fun—it’s an interactive experience where little ones can learn about the different dragon species and their unique abilities.

No trip to the Isle of Berk would be complete without an unforgettable live show. The Untrainable Dragon is a Broadway-level production that blends heart and humor in the way only DreamWorks can. Featuring stunning sets, intricate costumes, and state-of-the-art technology, this show brings dragons to life like never before. With dragons soaring overhead, breathing fire, and interacting up close, this experience is as breathtaking as it is magical.
And of course, what would Berk be without its most famous dragon? Toothless himself is waiting to meet you, giving guests the chance to recreate the iconic moment when Hiccup reached out his hand in trust. It’s an emotional, once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave fans misty-eyed.

After all that adventuring, even the bravest Vikings need to refuel. Berk offers a variety of hearty meals and drinks to keep you going. At Mead Hall, the grand Viking feast hall, guests can enjoy a robust selection of meats, fish, and traditional beverages, including meads, ciders, and ales. If you’re in the mood for a quick bite, Spit Fyre Grill serves flame-seared meals, prepared with the help of an unseen dragon fry cook. For a snack between adventures, Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel offers tasty treats inspired by Berk’s high-speed dragon racing culture.
The Isle of Berk is more than just a land—it’s an invitation to step inside one of the most beloved animated worlds ever created. Only in Universal Epic Universe can you truly become a Viking of Berk.
