Universal Parks has revealed details of an upcoming family theme park uniquely designed for parents with small kids. Slated to open in 2025 just outside of Dallas in Frisco, Texas, Universal Kids Resort aims to capture the hearts and imaginations of young children through immersive lands, rides, shows, and attractions.
Unlike other busy Universal parks catering to thrill-seekers, this brand new resort caters specifically to families with children ages 3-9, providing a lush, whimsical environment filled with playful interactions. The centerpiece is a compact theme park brimming with kid-friendly rides and shows themed to popular stories and characters. Surrounding this park is a resort hotel decorated in a matching fantasy theme, ensuring families feel fully transported into lands of make-believe.
Universal selected Frisco to debut this concept, hoping to tap into the region’s booming population of young families. The project brings substantial investment and jobs to the area, with over 2,500 construction roles alone. Universal promises this is just the start too, viewing Kids Resort as a prototype for potential expansion into other family hotspots nationwide.
While details remain limited pending grand opening in 2025, one thing is clear – Universal Kids Resort marks a major milestone for Universal Parks as it dives deeper into the family travel market. Captivating kids at a young age may pay dividends down the road, building an emerging generation of loyal park-goers eager to someday graduate to the big thrills of Universal’s other resorts.
