Shrek’s Swamp
Over in Frisco, Texas, the brand-new Universal Kids Resort officially opens on July 1st, but we got a sneak peek inside the park! We have TONS of big thoughts and feelings, but for now, we’re breaking down this specific land like an onion with layers. Let’s explore Shrek’s Swamp together.
We’re finally at Universal Kids Resort, and we’re going to take you through everything this new Texas theme park has to offer!
Universal Kids Resort
We’re exploring one of two Shrek-themed lands in the park, Puss in Boots Del Mar! This land is set in the seaside town of Del Mar, Spain, seen at the beginning of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Now, let’s adventure!
If you’ve been a fan of DFB for a while, then you know we’re a bunch of soda goblins!
My ol’ reliable refillable mug at Epic Universe in Universal Orlando!
What does that mean? Well, we’re SUCKERS for a refillable mug, particularly any one that gets us unlimited sodas. We’re visiting Universal Kids Resort in Texas for a preview before it opens to the public, and we just had to check out the refillable mug options. And all you fellow soda goblins? You’re gonna love this!
It’s almost here, the NEW Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, is about to open!
Jurassic World Adventure Camp
We’re here, visiting for the first time at a media event, and we’ve stepped inside the park to bring you a full look! There are new lands themed to popular franchises that kids love, and one of those lands is all about DINOSAURS. Yep, we’re going inside Jurassic World Adventure Camp…come along with us!
A brand-new theme park is officially open, and we’re exploring it ALL! Universal Kids Resort is located in Frisco, a suburb north of Dallas, Texas. It’s aimed at families with young children, but it’s fun for both kids and kids-at-heart!
It’s SpongeBob and Patrick!
This new theme park features seven lands themed after Shrek, SpongeBob, Minions, Trolls, and Jurassic World. We’ve been making our way around this park, and now we’re exploring the SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom land!
In case you missed it, we’re at Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, checking out everything this new theme park has to offer ahead of its official opening date on July 1st. We’ve already given you a full tour of the Universal Kids Resort Hotel, as well as a tour of one of its rooms, but now, we’re INSIDE the theme park, and we have SO much to tell you about.
Jurassic World Adventure Camp
So the theme park has seven themed lands based on some kid-favorite properties like SpongeBob SquarePants, Shrek, Minions, Trolls, Puss in Boots, and more. Well, that also includes a Jurassic Park-themed land called Jurassic World Adventure Camp…and y’all, this might be our favorite of all the lands because we just met a baby raptor!
While Universal Kids Resort will officially open on July 1st, we’re at the park right now to experience it early! This is Universal’s first Texas theme park, featuring some of the most popular children’s characters, including SpongeBob, Shrek, and more.
Universal Kids Resort
The park has seven brand-new lands – Isle of Curiosity, Shrek’s Swamp, Puss in Boots Del Mar, Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, TrollsFest, and SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom – and we’re taking you with us through all of them!
Universal Kids Resort officially opens on July 1st, but we were able to tour the brand-new hotel early! This hotel is built with families in mind and only offers rooms for groups of four or more.
Universal Kids Resort Hotel
There are four room types – Standard Queen, Deluxe Queen, Signature Queen, and Family Suite. Right now, we’re taking you on a tour of a Standard Queen room.
Universal is getting ready to open its first theme park for kids in Frisco, Texas. Dubbed Universal Kids Resort, the theme park will feature lands and attractions based on popular characters and stories like Shrek, the Minions, SpongeBob SquarePants, and more. However, the resort also has its very own hotel.
Universal Kids Resort
Universal Kids Resort Hotel features 300 rooms with its own dedicated park entrance, where you can enter the lines right outside the hotel vs. others coming from the parking lot. Guests staying at the hotel will also get the added perk of early park admission with select lands and rides open during that time. We had a chance to check out the hotel early, so we’re giving you ALL the details.
Universal Kids Resort is set to open in just a few weeks on July 1st, and we’re so stoked there will soon be a park that’s really dedicated towards families with younger kids — and that there are lots of water features around the park, because Texas gets HOT during the summer!
Universal Kids Resort Hotel
If you’ve been thinking of taking a trip, but aren’t sure what your younger kids will actually be able to ride, your problem is no more. Universal has now listed ALL the height requirements for the attractions at the resort, so you can plan in advance!
