Forget the real world and spend the final night of the year surrounded by wizards, minions, and Spider Man himself.

What happens?

With a host of special events including parades and extended opening hours, USJ is one of the most memorable places to see in the new year.

The park stays open for a full 26 hours of shows, attractions and special performances, starting on the evening of December 31 and running straight into the night of January 1.

It’s one of the park’s busiest nights of the year, with fireworks, a huge New Year’s Eve countdown moment, one-night-only entertainment, and limited seasonal food, including Jurassic Park and Snoopy-themed end-of-year soba (!).
