On July 1st, the Universal Kids Resort will open in Frisco, Texas, for guests to explore. This new theme park is going to feature seven lands themed to Universal shows and movies, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Shrek, Trolls, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Jurassic World, and more. The park is confirmed to have 31 new attractions, rides, shows, meet and greets, and more for kids and families to experience. And Universal just revealed the new merchandise that will be hitting the park, and we’re sharing it with you!

Global Parks Merchandise & Retail Officer of Universal Products & Experiences, Justin LaFoe, explained, “Everything we’re creating for Universal Kids Resort is designed with families in mind—from the child height displays to the character-infused storytelling woven into every shop. These new merchandise collections aren’t just souvenirs; they’re another way for kids and kids-at-heart to step into the worlds they love and carry a piece of that joy home with them.”
