When it comes to family vacations, the ultimate test of any theme park isn't what the online critics say—it's whether the kids leave with giant smiles on their faces.
The highly anticipated Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, officially opened its gates to the public on July 1, 2026, and the early consensus from real-world families is an overwhelming thumbs-up.
Marking a major milestone as Universal Destinations & Experiences' first-ever theme park specifically designed for a younger generation, the 20-acre resort is proving that kid-sized fun is exactly what parents have been waiting for.
Just one day before the grand opening, the park welcomed members of the media, local families, and some very high-profile VIPs for an exclusive first look. Among the first to check out the brand-new attractions were Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, who brought their children along for an unforgettable family day out.

Upon arrival, the Mahomes crew was greeted firsthand by fan-favorites Poppy, Branch, Guy Diamond, and Delta Dawn from DreamWorks’ TrollsFest.
Brittany Mahomes took to Instagram to share a peek of their park adventure, making it clear that one post simply wasn’t enough to cover the fun. "Part 2 of we’re busy having the time of our life," she captioned the sweet family photos, adding, "& don’t worry part 3 and 4 are coming." The resort's official social media accounts also captured the moments, sharing that the Mahomes family brought major "kidcation energy" to the park ahead of opening day.
During the preview, guests were able to explore an impressive lineup of seven fully immersive lands built around simpler rides, shorter walking distances, and highly interactive play spaces.

Little ones can dive into classic stories at DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp, conquer a prehistoric ropes course at Jurassic World Adventure Camp, or step into Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom.
Water lovers can choose a side at Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, while music fans can dance through TrollsFest. The park also features the festive village of DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar and the Isle of Curiosity, which features the massively popular DreamWorks’ Gabby’s Dollhouse.
By focusing entirely on the imagination of literal toddlers and grade-schoolers rather than massive, stomach-dropping roller coasters, the formula is clearly working for its target audience.
Real parents have been flooding Google and Facebook reviews with positive feedback following the opening week, with moms noting that their kids are still talking about the experience days later. Writers from regional publications who attended the previews with their own children also reported fantastic experiences, noting that the resort successfully delivers exactly what it promises: a fun, stress-free day of play scaled perfectly for little legs.
