Universal Kids theme park is now open in Frisco, located just off the Dallas North Tollway in North Frisco. Frisco is about 12 miles west of McKinney. The resort, owned by NBC Universal, is welcoming guests with a variety of ticket options and on-site accommodations.

Tickets are available for purchase, with adult admission starting at $55. A two-day pass costs $74. The park also offers annual passes, VIP experiences, and discounted rates for larger groups. Parking fees are set at $20 for regular spots and $30 for premium locations. Guests with NTTA Toll Tags can pay for parking at a toll plaza on site for faster entry.

A 300-room hotel stands at the park entrance, featuring themed rooms, dining options, and a pool. The first guests checked in on Tuesday night. Park officials note that guests staying at the on-site hotel receive early admission privileges.

Operating hours typically run from 10 a.m. to 7 or 8 p.m., depending on the day. Officials advise visitors to stay hydrated and use shaded areas or air-conditioned indoor spaces to stay cool.

Demand for tickets was high as the park prepared for the July 4 holiday weekend. Tickets for Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, July 4, were sold out at the time of publication. Limited tickets remained available for Friday and Sunday. Local parents have expressed excitement about the new summer destination for children.

Jerry Li of Celina noted the long construction process leading up to the opening. He mentioned driving past the site daily and watching it develop from the ground up. The family is eager to experience the park.

Further details on specific ride lineups or long-term operational plans were not provided in the source material.
