Visitors to the Universal Kids Resort under construction in Frisco will be able to stomp around in Shrek’s swamp, go boating with SpongeBob SquarePants, or take a cat nap with Puss in Boots.
Universal Destinations and Experiences, a division of parent company Comcast NBCUniversal, revealed Friday its lineup of themed lands, and its a who’s who of animated entertainment.
Slated to open in 2026, the 97-acre site will be home to themed worlds including the Minions, Trolls, Gabby’s Dollhouse and Jurassic World ― among others, according to a release.
“At Universal Kids Resort, children will have the opportunity to play, sing, dance and discover with some of their favorite characters,” Dan Cuffe, vice president and general manager of Universal Kids Resort, said in a statement.
According to details from the company, the Frisco resort will also feature a colorful, themed 300-room hotel “designed with families in mind.”
The development is part of the city’s $10 billion, 2,500-acre mega-project, featuring entertainment like Universal Kids Resort alongside homes and commercial space.
Each of the resort’s themed worlds is personalized to Universal’s characters.
Shrek brings a swamp-themed playground. The Minions turn a peaceful retreat into a chaotic waterpark. Kids can learn about dinosaurs with Jurassic World. And The Trolls host a music festival.
“It’s an amazing opportunity to bring these iconic stories to life for kids and families to experience, interact with and play together,” said Sarah Gibbon, VP and executive producer at Universal Creative, in a statement.
“At each point, we considered how we could design a place especially for kids where they could explore, imagine and adventure with their families and friends.”
