Universal Destinations & Experiences just dropped some major updates!
Opening in 2026 in Frisco, Texas, the brand-new Universal Kids Resort is the company’s first-ever theme park built entirely for kids and families with younger children. Yep, this one’s made for the little ones – and it looks amazing.
They just announced seven themed lands, meet-and-greets with favorite characters, interactive play zones, and even a 300-room hotel right on site.
Here’s what’s coming to the park!
7 New Lands at Universal Kids Resort Texas
DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp
Grab your onions, because we’re heading to the swamp! Shrek’s Swamp is going to be a waterlogged, fairytale-style playground where families can meet Shrek and Fiona, splash around, and even take photos in front of their famous onion carriage. There will be water play areas, interactive zones, and tons of ogre-sized fun.
Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom
It’s the best day ever! Dive under the sea with SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy in Bikini Bottom. Kids can explore SpongeBob’s pineapple house, hang out at Mussel Beach, and splash around in a bright, colorful underwater world.
Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club
Minions. Water. Chaos. Need I say more?
This land is all about the Yellow Minions trying (and failing) to control the wild Purple Minions. Expect splash zones, interactive fun, and meet-and-greets with everyone’s favorite little troublemakers.
Jurassic World Adventure Camp
Jurassic World Adventure Camp is where young explorers can meet baby dinosaurs, climb lookout towers, and go on pint-sized adventures in a safe, family-friendly version of the Jurassic world.
DreamWorks’ TrollsFest
All are welcome to the glitter-filled, non-stop party that is TrollsFest! This land will have singing, dancing, play areas, and meet-and-greets with Poppy, Branch, and all their Troll friends. Basically – pure happiness and bright colors everywhere. And did I mention glitter? hehehe
DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar
A festive little village where you can meet Puss in Boots, Mama Luna, and Perrito. Expect carnival-style games, colorful rides, and delicious food.
Isle of Curiosity featuring Gabby’s Dollhouse
This will be the first land guests walk into when they arrive at Universal Kids Resort – a whimsical area designed for exploring and meeting Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse! It’s playful, full of imagination, and the perfect start to a day of fun.
The Universal Kids Resort Hotel
And if you want to stay right in the middle of it all – there’s a colorful 300-room on-site hotel designed just for families. It’s connected to the park and looks like it’ll carry all that same energy and storytelling right into the stay.
Universal Kids Resort Texas
Between this new park and the upcoming Epic Universe in Orlando, Universal is on a roll. The Universal Kids Resort feels like the start of something new – a space where families with younger kids can experience Universal’s creativity in a fun, approachable way.
It’s bright, playful, and totally built for imagination. I cannot wait to see it come to life in 2026.
