Overview
- Universal detailed the 2026 Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, revealing seven themed lands and an on-site hotel built for families.
- The lands are Shrek’s Swamp, Puss in Boots Del Mar, TrollsFest, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom, Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, and the Isle of Curiosity.
- Announced attractions focus on younger kids, including Jurassic World: Cretaceous Coaster, Mr. DNA’s Double Helix Spin, Pteranodrop, SpongeBob play rides, Shrek play spaces, Minions water play, and a Gabby’s Dollhouse-inspired dance party.
- The company positions the resort as a regional, child-centered park rather than a counterpart to Orlando’s Epic Universe, which opened in May 2025 as a destination built for multi-day trips and bigger thrills.
- The Universal Kids Resort Hotel will sit steps from the park with rooms for five or six, bunk bed layouts, a pool, dining, a fitness room, a game room, and sensory gardens that give families quiet places to reset.
