Universal Kids Resort is a first-of-its-kind theme park designed for families with young kids. It will feature lands themed around some of young kids’ favorite shows and movies, including Shrek, Puss in Boots, Trolls, Gabby’s Dollhouse, SpongeBob SquarePants, Minions, and Jurassic World. The theme park is expected to open in 2026.

Universal also dropped some details about some of the attractions in the park. Kids will get to visit a playground themed around Shrek’s swamp where they can “stomp, ride, laugh, and play.” SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick, Sandy Cheeks, and Squidward will show kids around their neighborhood under the sea. From earning a boating license to relaxing on the beach as bubbles float by, kids and their families and friends can enjoy the nautical, nonsensical delights.”

The Minions will be overruning a vacation retreat with some water-soaked fun. Kids will discover new facts about the dinosaurs of Jurassic World in an interactive way. Then there’s a music festival with Trolls, a “colorful, joy-filled, of course, glittery fest, guests of all sizes get to join Poppy, Branch and the rest of the gang to bring their voices together in harmony while shining brightly.”

Kids can then join Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, and Perrito at a kitty adoption drive “with fabulous decorations, sideshow games, fun rides and festive food.” There’s also a sensory garden for those who need a rest.

Universal Kids Resort will also have a central hub with “shady lawns and interactive play areas that give kids and their families plenty of space to rest and play.” A “unique immersive retail experience” will also feature characters like Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse.
