Universal Destinations & Experiences has officially opened Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, marking the company’s debut in the regional theme park sector. The facility is designed specifically for children between the ages of 3 and 8.
Page Thompson, president of New Ventures for Universal Destinations & Experiences, stated in a press release that the park was built with young visitors in mind. She noted that the design aims to provide an environment where children can enjoy the attractions and see them smiling.
The park features seven distinct themed zones that showcase characters and stories from various franchises. These areas include DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, and Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom. Additional zones highlight Illumination’s Minions in Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, DreamWorks’ TrollsFest, and Puss in Boots Del Mar. The Isle of Curiosity area features Gabby’s Dollhouse.
