A Theme Park Designed for Kids
Unlike Universal’s larger parks in Orlando and Hollywood, Universal Kids Resort is being built specifically for families with young children. The 32-acre park will feature immersive themed lands inspired by some of Universal’s most beloved franchises, including:
- Trolls – You’re invited to the most colorful, most joy-filled, and, of course, most glittery music festival of all time!
- Shrek – Enjoy ogre-sized fun as you stomp, ride, laugh and play in Shrek’s swamp themed playground built personally by Shrek.
- Jurassic World – It’s a journey of exploration where kids can learn about and come face to face with dinosaurs of Jurassic World in uniquely exciting and interactive ways.
- SpongeBob SquarePants – Let the games begin as Illumination’s Minions overrun a peaceful vacation retreat. When Yellow Minions attempt to rein in their Purple counterparts, it leads to a wave of unpredictable, water-soaked fun.
- Despicable Me – Let the games begin as Illumination’s Minions overrun a peaceful vacation retreat. When Yellow Minions attempt to rein in their Purple counterparts, it leads to a wave of unpredictable, water-soaked fun.
The resort will offer engaging attractions, interactive play areas, and character meet-and-greets. One exciting highlight is an immersive retail experience featuring Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse, where kids can interact with their favorite characters in a fun and unique way.
A Relaxing and Interactive Experience
The park’s design includes shady lawns and open spaces where families can take a break and let kids play freely. Unlike the fast-paced thrill rides Universal is known for, this family-friendly theme park is all about fun, laughter, and gentle excitement tailored to younger guests.
On-Site Hotel for Easy Stays
To make visits even more convenient, Universal Kids Resort will also feature a five-story, 300-room hotel. This family-friendly accommodation will offer easy access to the park and a comfortable place to stay after a fun-filled day of adventure at Universal’s new theme park in Texas.
Final Thoughts
Universal Kids Resort is set to be a one-of-a-kind theme park experience for families with young children, offering a mix of adventure, entertainment, and relaxation. With popular franchises, interactive attractions, and a family-focused atmosphere, this new theme park opening in 2026 is sure to be a hit!
