Universal Kids Resort Readies For July 1 Debut in Frisco

The compact 20-acre park with a 300-room hotel represents Universal’s regional, lower-cost test of an IP-driven, family-first resort using staged previews to finalize operations.

Overview

  • Universal plans a public grand opening on July 1 after running limited preview days to test operations and measure demand.
  • Invited media inspected the resort mid‑June, confirming seven character-themed lands and roughly 30–31 attractions built for young children.
  • The on-site Universal Kids Resort Hotel offers 300 family-focused rooms, a dedicated park entrance, Early Park Admission, and package delivery to guests.
  • Key lands include Jurassic World Adventure Camp with kid-scale coasters and a baby raptor meet‑and‑greet, SpongeBob’s Bikini Bottom splash areas, and DreamWorks lands for Trolls, Shrek and Puss in Boots.
  • Universal is positioning the project as a seasonal, regional model aimed at short family trips and North Texas staycations while using starter pricing and preview passes to drive early bookings.
