Universal Kids Resort is set to open sometime in 2026. Now, the theme park is looking to add new members to its team.
Frisco, Texas is set to become a destination for fun when Universal Studios officially opens its Kids Resort in 2026. The theme park, which is the first of its kind, will span 97 acres and was built specifically to create a family-friendly environment for kids and adults to enjoy equally. Interactive lands will center on specific themes like “Jurassic World,” “Minions,” “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Trolls,” “Puss in Boots,” and “Gabby’s Dollhouse.” In addition to theme park rides, the Kids Resort will feature interactive shows, food and beverage offerings, character meet and greets, a theme hotel with 300 rooms, and much more.
Last June, city officials spoke with NBC 5 about the exciting new development and said it will likely open sometime between April and June of this year. It’s unclear as to when an official opening date will be announced, as that will be determined by the park’s construction and when it’s ultimately completed. Between now and then, though, Frisco residents are being given the chance to apply and audition for a variety of roles at Universal Studios. Let’s dive into the details!
