Universal Destinations & Experiences just dropped some HUGE news! Not only are we getting Epic Universe in May 2025, but Universal is also opening an entirely new kids-focused resort in 2026!
The Universal Kids Resort is coming to Frisco, Texas, and it’s designed specifically for families with young kids. If you’ve ever been to LEGOLAND California, this gives off similar vibes—a theme park built just for little ones, where everything is their size, and they can enjoy the full experience without the intensity of the larger parks.
Let’s be real: the big parks can be overwhelming for younger kids. Often, they only end up spending time in one or two lands before they’re totally wiped out. But with this new kid-centric Universal park, families can enjoy an entire theme park designed with younger adventurers in mind—featuring their favorite characters and fun attractions without the massive roller coasters.
What Can You Expect at Universal Kids Resort?
Universal has confirmed the park will feature interactive play areas, immersive lands, rides, and entertainment featuring beloved characters, including:
✨ DreamWorks favorites like Shrek, Puss in Boots, Trolls, and Gabby’s Dollhouse
✨ Nickelodeon classics like SpongeBob SquarePants
✨ Illumination’s Minions
✨ Jurassic World – Yes, you read that right! I’m already picturing a dino-themed land with excavation areas, adorable dinosaur costumes, and interactive experiences.
A Universal Resort Hotel, Too!
Oh, and did I mention there will be a hotel? That’s right! The Universal Kids Resort will include a 300-room hotel, so families can stay right on-site, relax by the pool, and make the most of every moment.
This is such an exciting addition to the Universal family, giving younger kids a magical, stress-free theme park experience. Who else is already planning a trip for 2026?!
