BIG news for North Texas families (and really any family who would love to experience a new theme park for kids)! 🎉
Universal Kids Resort officially opens July 1, 2026… and YES, I can help clients plan trips here! As someone who lives “just down the road” from Frisco, this one feels extra fun to watch come to life.
I’ll be checking in on July 2 myself…with a couple of kids for research, of course. 👏🏼
This brand-new Universal resort was designed specifically for families with younger kids and will feature SEVEN themed lands packed with rides, splash areas, character meet-and-greets, interactive play zones, and family attractions. Think “first big theme park trip” vibes… but with Universal-level theming.
LANDS:
🐸 DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp
🦖 Jurassic World Adventure Camp
🍌 Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club
🍍 SpongeBob SquarePants’ Bikini Bottom
🎤 TrollsFest
🐱 Puss in Boots Del Mar
✨ Isle of Curiosity (inspired by Gabby’s Dollhouse)
The on-site 300-room hotel is right at the entrance and include family suites, kid-friendly dining, a pool, and easy access to the park.
A few things that already stand out to me:
✔️ Smaller scale and designed for younger kids
✔️ Character-heavy experiences
✔️ Interactive attractions instead of just “big thrill rides”
✔️ Easy weekend getaway option for Texas families
✔️ A GREAT starter Universal experience before Orlando
Tickets, packages, and annual passes were released TODAY, so if this is on your family’s radar for 2026, I’d love to help you plan it!
