Universal has officially opened the Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. The new entertainment venue is designed specifically for young children, featuring attractions based on popular animated franchises.
The resort includes themed areas where visitors can interact with characters from the Minions, Jurassic World, and SpongeBob SquarePants properties. These zones are intended to provide age-appropriate experiences for families with younger children.
Frisco is located approximately 12 miles west of McKinney. The new resort is situated about a three-hour drive south of downtown Oklahoma City, positioning it as a regional destination for families in the surrounding area.
Universal described the property as a dedicated space for younger audiences, distinguishing it from its larger theme parks which cater to broader age groups. The opening marks the company's expansion into the Texas market with a focus on early childhood entertainment.
Details regarding ticket pricing, operating hours, and specific ride mechanics were not provided in the initial announcement. Information about future expansion plans or additional park locations remains unclear.
