Universal Kids Resort officially opened on Wednesday in Frisco, Texas, marking the entertainment giant's debut of a regional theme park. Located approximately three hours south of downtown Oklahoma City, the 20-acre facility is the company's first attraction specifically designed for families with young children, particularly those between the ages of 3 and 8, though it remains open to visitors of all ages.

The park is organized into seven themed areas drawing from popular franchises including Minions, Shrek, SpongeBob SquarePants, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Trolls, Puss in Boots, and Jurassic World. These zones feature 13 rides, interactive shows, splash pads, playgrounds, and opportunities to meet costumed characters. Notable attractions include Shrek and Fiona’s Happily Ogre After, an outdoor track ride for younger guests, and Swings Over Del Mar, which has the park’s tallest height requirement at 42 inches.

An on-site hotel is available for guests, offering early park admission and other conveniences. The resort also includes retail outlets and dining options within each themed land. While the Isle of Curiosity, based on Gabby’s Dollhouse, currently offers limited experiences compared to the other six lands, the remaining areas provide expanded entertainment options. Further details regarding specific operating hours or ticket pricing were not provided in the source material.
