Is there a Shrek land in Universal?

A whole new land is coming to Universal Orlando Resort! Universal Studios Orlando is giving park-goers the chance to enter the worlds of Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda, Trolls and more in DreamWorks Land — a new addition to the theme park opening next year.



Yes, as of mid-2024 and continuing into 2026, there is a dedicated "Shrek" presence within the newly opened DreamWorks Land at Universal Studios Florida. This area replaced the former Woody Woodpecker’s KidZone and features Shrek’s Swamp Meet, where guests can actually enter the ogre's iconic swamp and meet Shrek, Princess Fiona, and the talkative Donkey outside their cottage. The land also includes Shrek’s Swamp for Little Ogres, an interactive play area filled with slides and water features designed for younger children. While the land is shared with other DreamWorks properties like Kung Fu Panda and Trolls (including the popular Trolls Trollercoaster), Shrek is the undisputed anchor of the area. For 2026 visitors, this is a massive upgrade over the old "Shrek 4-D" attraction, providing a much more tactile and immersive experience that allows fans of all ages to step directly into the Far Far Away universe. Whether you're trying a "Shrekzel" (a Shrek-themed pretzel) or listening to the swamp's "musical" toilets, the attention to detail in this new land makes it a must-visit for any fan of the beloved franchise.

Real estate, real estate, real estate. It's just too expensive to buy enough land to develop a world-class resort in the markets that have the critical mass to support it. That said, DreamWorks could *buy* someone else's parks, or enter into a formal long-term deal to jointly develop existing parks and new attractions.
