As much as I am obsessed with the Barbie Mattel brand, I think the cost of this experience is a bit…read moreoverkill for the type of experience. It's located on the 2nd floor of the Stonebriar center, across from KidZania. The staff are all very pleasant. The cost per person was $44.00 and if you wanted to add the build-it Barbie customizable doll closet experience, it was an additional $55 per person. The actual entry includes varying interactive Barbie scenes such as her closet, space ship, the beach, pool (ball pit), her Barbie camper, music studio just to name a few. You basically take pics with different backdrops. It's nice but not at $44.00. I got the build-it add experience so I can review it. You will get a Barbie that's probably worth less than $10 in store. There weren't a lot of options to choose from. You get a beautiful commemorative box to put everything in. You get to pick 2 pairs of shoes, 3 accessories and only 2 clothing items, which means you get either 1 outfit or 2 dresses. I wish they gave the option to have two complete dress items. The outfits are not the high quality that you remember as a kid and the shoes are actually ill fitting for the Barbie's feet. Not worth $55 but for a little less would be a nice experience. When I went there was a spring break sale my entire ticket was 30% off, which made this experience a more appropriate for the price.

The app recommended 60 mins but 30-45 is more reasonable. It wasn't crowded and most all of the other patrons were considerate. Tons of photo opportunities! Some even brought their own lighting but no one took an unreasonable amount of time anywhere. No food or drinks allowed but there is a bathroom. Bring the hand sanitizer! There is a ball pit, drums to play, mic to sing, DJ and science area. The gift shop had Barbie's starting at $7 and going up to $55. Pencils w/ erasers were $3, potted plant in a Barbie vase were $12 or $15. Overall, it was cute but admission was a bit high IMO.

From the moment we arrived, everything was incredibly easy. Parking was simple, well organized, and the walk from the parking area to the entrance was short and stress-free. One of my favorite surprises was seeing how conveniently the hotel sits right next to the park. We can't wait to return for our overnight stay because everything is so close and family-friendly. The employees deserve a standing ovation. Every single team member we encountered was smiling, welcoming, and genuinely excited to be there. It didn't feel like they were just working a job. They knew the characters, stayed in the spirit of the park, and made every interaction feel magical. My daughter was dressed up, and so many employees stopped to compliment her and our whole family. Those little moments made our day even more memorable. The food completely exceeded my expectations! We loved everything we tried. The burger was juicy and delicious, the ice cream was phenomenal, and the Shrekzel (Shrek pretzel) was absolutely worth trying. There are so many fun themed snacks that become part of the experience instead of just being something to eat. The gift shops were another highlight. Everywhere we looked there were adorable backpacks, totes, keychains, buttons, apparel, and collectibles that felt unique and almost limited edition. If you're someone who loves souvenirs, plan to spend some time browsing because there are so many fun finds. Now for the only downside, and honestly it wasn't Universal's fault...it was HOT! Texas heat is no joke. We also had to remove our hats before riding, even though ours were securely tied under our chins. I understand it's for safety, but it's something to know ahead of time. A few tips: * Wear light-colored clothing. * Bring an umbrella for shade. * A cooling towel or misting/squirt bottle is a lifesaver. * Take advantage of the splash pads throughout the park because they are perfect for cooling off. I also really appreciated that Universal offers a military discount, which made this experience even more meaningful for our family. Universal Kids isn't just a theme park. It's a place where kids get to feel immersed in the worlds they love, and parents get to watch those memories unfold. We left exhausted, smiling, and already counting down until our July stay. We'll definitely be back, and I have a feeling this is going to become a new family tradition.

This place was not ready to open and sure not ready for Texas. They are working out a lot of…read moreglitches and still charging a hefty price for mediocre quality. For two adults and a 6 year old, it broke down to 81 plus a ticket. Plus 20 bucks for parking. The first glitch was toll tag parking- not working so they were down a lane. We started our day when it opened at 10 am. In the first 1.5 hours we had ridden 3 rides. And not because the lines were that long, they are just really inefficient at moving people on with some of the rides. Especially the water Bobbing Barrel ride in SpongeBob. It's the longest loading process I've ever seen in a ride. The good: Two decent coasters and a fun water ride. The minions Bello Bay Cruise was slow loading but one of the better rides. Several splash pads and misters everywhere to cool off. They did get that right The food is expensive, but they do have some nice dishes at least at the Jurassic court. Those beef bowls are good. The refillable drink cup. Yes it's 16 bucks but it's easy to refill because there is a cantina about every 100 yards. They let you set them down on the edges of the rides. So buy one and stay hydrated! The bad: The Golf Cart Derby broke, Shrek and Fiona broke as well so we skipped those two. Multiple rides closed due to the heat ( Mrs Puffs boating school and Jellyfish Fields) because the metal got too hot to touch. How is that not a consideration in Texas? So two more rides down The Pteranodrop was scalding early on so also might have fallen to the heat. There are only 13 rides. There was actually very few people there and lines were semi short. But it is blazing hot and not enough shade or air conditioning areas for a Texas park. I see some calls for heat stroke coming. I hope some of this is growing pains but I really don't see this being worth the money they charge for entrance, for carnival games (even more of a rip off than At a real carnival lol) especially once more people find out it was opened. Glad we saw it but I don't even think my 6 year old has any interest in returning

Note that time slots are every two hours so check the website before you show up. There will be a staff member (lifeguard) watching over the Aqua Park as long as someone is in the water. My kiddos enjoyed the Aqua Park but it wasn't big. Because there isn't water spraying on the inflatables, the inflatables can get really hot. Luckily, you can just jump into the water and track it back onto the inflatables. They spent 1.5 hours on the inflatables and thought it was enough. There weren't enough variety within the inflatables to entice the kids to stay longer.

It was definitely fun but difficult for out…read moreof shape adults haha My biggest concerns were the shape of the park and the safety hazards. Many of the inflatables were very under inflated and boggy. Some inflatables were in need of repair with broken areas, specifically one of the trampoline looking pads had the mesh detached and could've easily caught someone's foot or have someone fall in between. The course was supposed to be attached like an obstacle course but the Velcro was not hooked up in many areas. There were a ton of ropes in the water so if you fell in, you were immediately tangled in ropes. I'm concerned that this is the normal and that children are also using this same course. Also, just know there are no lockers to put any valuables. They do have a changing room and an outdoor shower. Life jackets were provided. I appreciate the experience but probably won't come back.

At any rate, the staff is professional and patient. Iris helped us check in and pay for our socks and she was great. When we entered the gates, Lauren gave us a tour of the facilities mentioning the cafe, cubbies, private event rooms, family bathrooms, nursing room, and quiet space for when the kiddos need a break from all of the stimulation. It's definitely geared towards kids and not babies or toddlers. The toddler area is about 1/3 of the main playground area but the rest is for a slightly older crowd, not that they limit based on age. Which is a nice touch since all kids develop at different rates. The free weekend was a great way for us to check out the business to see if the membership made sense for our family.

While…read morethe attractions were open and the kids still had fun, the facility appears to be suffering from a lack of maintenance. Many of the lounge chairs were either covered in bird droppings or had broken straps. Several inflatables felt noticeably underinflated, and many areas looked dirty and worn. The large screen at the wave pool was also missing, which added to the impression that upkeep has been put off. This park has a lot of potential and is conveniently located, but right now it feels tired and neglected. For the price of admission, I expected a cleaner and better-maintained experience. I hope management invests in refreshing the park because it could be a great family destination again.
