Universal Kids Resort, an all-new theme park featuring seven amazing themed lands in Frisco, TX, is now designated as a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
Through specialized training and certification provided by IBCCES, the team at Universal Kids Resort has gained a deeper understanding of autism and sensory needs or sensitivities. As part of the certification process, IBCCES conducted an onsite review to develop detailed sensory guides and provide additional recommendations to further enhance the onsite experience.
Universal Kids Resort, which officially opened on July 1, 2026, is Universal Destinations & Experiences’ first theme park designed specifically for young kids ages 3–8 and their grown-ups. This all-new regional park features seven themed lands, including DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom, Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, DreamWorks’ TrollsFest, DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar, and the Isle of Curiosity featuring DreamWorks’ Gabby’s Dollhouse. Universal Kids Resort Hotel is located just steps away from the theme park, offering a variety of amenities near all the fun and creating an even more inclusive experience for families.
