A little piece of theme park magic comes to Philadelphia when a brand-new Universal Studios theme parks exhibit makes its world premiere at The Franklin Institute in early 2026.

Exhibition attendees can learn about the studio’s bevy of entertainment offerings over the years, from Universal’s earliest Studio Tram Tour — the trolley rides offered through the Universal movie lot, which have been in operation since 1964 — to newer projects like Universal Epic Universe, the Orlando-based theme park (one of the largest and most technologically advanced of its kind) that made its grand debut in May 2025.

In true Franklin Institute form, the display will have an educational focus, playing up all the science, technology, engineering, artistry and math involved in theme park design.

Read on for a guide to the exhibition — part of ongoing events in Philadelphia dedicated to America’s Semiquincentennial — that runs from February 14, 2026 through September 7, 2026.
