It\u2019s aimed at families with young children, but it looks fun for all ages! It has <a href=\"https:\/\/allears.net\/2025\/10\/15\/first-look-at-the-lands-coming-to-universals-texas-theme-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">seven lands<\/a> themed after Shrek, SpongeBob, Minions, Trolls, and Jurassic World.<\/p>\n<p>When we were driving around Frisco, we figured we might see a sneak peek of the new theme park since it\u2019s right off the highway. But we saw that Universal already installed road signs, so we had to take a pit stop and check it out! Who would\u2019ve thought a road sign would make us so excited?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-864944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Universal-Kids-Resort-Parking-Signage-IMG_5319-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1266\" height=\"949\"  \/>It was calling our names\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Universal Kids Resort will have a massive hotel located near the front of the park. We\u2019ve seen some concept art, but now we\u2019ve finally seen it in person! The building is so colorful and looks just like the renderings. There\u2019s also an easy pathway from the highway to the resort for future guests.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-864942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Universal-Kids-Resort-Hotel-IMG_5327-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\"  \/>Universal Kids Resort<\/p>\n<p>On the side of the building towards the highway, there\u2019s a massive mural of Gabby and some more characters in the theme park! There were quite a few construction cranes, so work is still ongoing for amenities in front of the hotel, like the parking lots and pool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-864943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Universal-Kids-Resort-Hotel-IMG_5347-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1425\"  \/>Universal Kids\u2019 Resort<\/p>\n<p>We weren\u2019t able to see the theme park from behind the hotel, but some construction cranes were towering\u00a0in the back, so work is still underway.
