Unlike the full-scale Universal parks in Orlando and Hollywood, this is a destination built to be accessible from home for those in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and surrounding region, giving families some theme park fun without requiring a cross-country trip.

Tickets on sale now include 1-Day and 2-Day General Admission tickets starting at $54.99 per person, plus tax.
