What Is Universal Kids Resort?
Universal Kids Resort is not simply a smaller version of Universal Orlando or Universal Studios Hollywood. It has been designed from the ground up with young children in mind, featuring gentler ride profiles, lower height requirements, and immersive environments built to feel approachable and exciting for the littlest guests. The goal, according to Universal, is to create a place where children feel from the moment they arrive that the park was made specifically for them.
That said, there is more than enough here for parents and older siblings to enjoy alongside the little ones. With 31 confirmed attractions, rides, shows, meet-and-greets, and interactive experiences spread across seven themed lands, the scope of what is coming is genuinely impressive for a regional park of this kind.
Seven Themed Lands
Universal has confirmed seven fully themed lands, each built around beloved franchises that families already know and love. Here is what is coming:
What Else to Know
- 97 acres of land, purpose-built for families with young children
- 31 confirmed attractions, rides, shows, and interactive experiences at opening

- Located at 1 Universal Pkwy, Frisco, TX 75033
