Could this new limited-time offering get more people on board with Universal Kids Resort?
Universal Kids Resort
Universal Kids Resort is a new theme park that opened in Frisco, Texas earlier this year in July. The park has seven lands and over 30 attractions themed after Shrek, SpongeBob, Minions, Trolls, Puss in Boots, and Jurassic World. Since it opened, it’s gotten a mix of good and bad reviews from guests. Now, the theme park is launching an all-new limited-time Explorer Ticket that’ll give guests even more ways to play! Could this change things?
Universal Kids Resort is expanding on its ticket and annual pass offerings to provide guests with more flexibility, value, and ways to enjoy the new theme park. They launched the Gold Annual Pass last month, and now the resort is debuting a new limited-time Explorer Ticket. This new ticket will be a value offering that gives guests access to the park on select days.
Minions Splash Pad
The Explorer Ticket is for daily admission Sundays through Thursdays ONLY, up until March 11th, 2027. The Explorer Ticket is available for purchase right now and will be available through January 6th, 2027. Be aware that blockout dates may apply, and that parking is not included.

The cost for the Explorer Ticket is $69.99 per person, plus tax, making it only $20 more than a 1-Day General Admission ticket and CHEAPER than a 2-Day General Admission ticket. That’s quite the steal for a pass that can be used for as many days as you want until March 11th.
