Frisco just got a whole lot more fun. Universal Kids Resort — the first-ever theme park from Universal Destinations & Experiences designed specifically for families with young children — officially opened its gates on July 1, 2026, right here in Frisco, Texas.

The milestone opening marks a major moment for the city, adding a one-of-a-kind destination to North Texas that families from across the region and beyond are already flocking to. According to reporting from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth and Community Impact, the park features dining options in each of its themed lands, giving guests a full day of immersive entertainment and food all in one place.

Universal Destinations & Experiences described the resort as a first-of-its-kind concept, purpose-built with younger children and their families in mind — a departure from the thrill-ride-focused parks the brand is traditionally known for. The Frisco location is the debut park of this new concept, making the city a genuine trailblazer in family-friendly entertainment.

The buzz has already spread well beyond Texas. Coverage from outlets as far as Oklahoma noted that Universal Kids Resort is just a three-hour drive from Oklahoma City, signaling that Frisco is poised to become a regional tourism destination. MySA called it Universal Studios’ “one-of-a-kind Texas resort,” underscoring just how unique the attraction is on a national scale.

For Frisco residents, the opening means a world-class entertainment option is now right in their backyard — a fitting addition to a city that continues to grow as one of the most exciting communities in the country.
