Universal has officially opened a new entertainment destination in Frisco, Texas, dedicated to young audiences. The Universal Kids Resort began operations on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, marking the debut of a facility where the primary focus is providing activities for children.

The park features attractions based on popular animated franchises. Guests can encounter characters from the Minions franchise, explore environments inspired by Jurassic World, and engage with settings from SpongeBob SquarePants. These elements are designed to offer immersive experiences tailored to younger demographics.

Frisco is about 7 miles east of Little Elm. The location is situated approximately three hours south of downtown Oklahoma City, making it accessible to families in that region.

Details regarding ticket pricing, specific operating hours, or the full roster of rides are not yet clear. Information about future expansion plans or additional park features beyond the initial opening day offerings was not provided in the source material.

The opening of this resort represents a new entry in the regional theme park market, specifically targeting the family and youth sector. Universal aims to establish this property as a distinct destination separate from its other global parks.
