When Star Trek: Picard Season 3 wrapped production at Santa Clarita Studios in 2022, the meticulously-rebuilt Enterprise-D bridge set was carefully deconstructed and safely put into storage — and in 2025, it’ll finally be available for fans to visit in a limited-time event in southern California.
 
Back in August, the franchise announced that it would be part of a planned series of “Universal Fan Fest Nights” at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in the spring of 2025, an “all-new interactive and immersive event” promising to bring properties like Back to the Future, Dungeons & Dragons, and of course Star Trek to life — along with “an enticing menu of themed foods and new merchandise, including collectibles, apparel, drinkware, accessories and more.”
 

Today, it’s been announced that the actual Enterprise-D bridge set from Picard will be part of the Star Trek: The Next Generation component of the Fan Fest Nights, where fans will actually get a chance to walk aboard the bridge as if they were part of Captain Picard’s crew.

From the formal announcement:

Inspired by the Star Trek universe that has entertained millions of fans, this exciting experience will boldly take guests on an immersive and thrilling adventure aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D where they will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step onto the bridge, an original set piece featured in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard.

 

Star Trek is one of television’s most enduring franchises, known for groundbreaking storytelling that addresses social, political and cultural issues. Its optimistic view of the future and reflection on what it means to be human has inspired generations of dreamers and doers.

 

Universal Fan Fest Nights will be a limited-time, after-hours experience, exclusive to Universal Studios Hollywood, that will showcase a dynamic line-up of captivating, immersive in-world experiences along with engaging, celebratory activations throughout the theme park, from live entertainment to cosplay, inviting guests to embrace their favorite characters and share their enthusiasm with like-minded fans.
