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

The grand opening marks a major milestone for the city and for North Texas as a whole, giving local families a brand-new destination built with the littlest adventurers in mind. The resort has been dubbed a “Kidcation” destination, and coverage from outlets including NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, USA Today, and Inside Universal all confirmed the park welcomed guests on opening day.

The arrival of Universal Kids Resort adds a significant new attraction to Frisco’s already vibrant entertainment landscape, and the buzz surrounding the opening has drawn attention from across the region — with visitors traveling from as far as Oklahoma to experience it. For Frisco families, that means world-class theme park fun is now just minutes from home.

It’s shaping up to be a landmark summer for the city, and Universal Kids Resort is sure to be a go-to destination for families looking to make memories right in their own backyard.
