FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) — Universal Parks & Resorts announced Wednesday that a new, one-of-a-kind theme park is coming to Frisco.
Officials said the park will be "unlike any other in the world," and is "specifically designed to inspire fun for families with young children."
The landscape will be lush and green, and will feature immersive themed lands that will be more intimate and engaging for younger visitors.
"It will be full of family-friendly attractions, interactive and playful shows, character meet and greets, unique merchandise and fun food and beverage venues. Although smaller in size, it will still carry the same quality as Universal's other larger resort destinations."
Spanning 97 acres, there are also plans for a themed hotel.
"The entire area is intended to have a completely different look, feel, and scale than Universal's existing parks and will appeal to a new audience for the brand."
Officials said Frisco was selected as the area for the new park because of the city's growing population and "ability to attract businesses to the area." It will sit east of the Dallas North Tollway and north of Panther Creek Parkway.
