Everything in Texas is supposed to be big \u2014 but Universal Kids Resort in Frisco is proving that when it comes to family fun, less can be more. <\/p>\n
Greetings, friends. It\u2019s Haley.<\/p>\n
My trusty friend and Texan, Tim, recently visited Universal\u2019s newest park with family and provided me with feedback and a visual tour. <\/p>\n

The resort opened earlier this month and is designed specifically for families with young children<\/a>, offering seven imaginative lands packed with beloved characters, rides, and even quiet sensory gardens. <\/p>\n Overall, Tim enjoyed himself. Since the park is 20 acres, he said it was easy to get around, and the wait times didn\u2019t exceed 15 minutes. <\/p>\n \u201cThis is definitely a one-day park, but if you have little ones, I think they\u2019ll love it,\u201d Tim said. <\/p>\n He also said the food at Puss in Boots Del Mar was a \u201cchef\u2019s kiss\u201d and raved about the Minion Mac and Cheese Cone. <\/p>\n Churros at Comidas y Leche in the Puss in Boots Del Mar land at Universal Kids Resort.

I think the plain concrete gives it an unnatural look, whereas DreamWorks Land at Universal Studios went as far as putting in mud-resembling pavement with ogre footprints and donkey hoof prints. <\/p>\n DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp at Universal Kids Resort.
