Mattel Adventure Park will be located just south of State Farm Stadium, home to the Arizona Cardinals, at the new VAI entertainment resort (formerly called Crystal Lagoons Island Resort), which will span sixty acres and cost one billion dollars total.[8] The concept for the theme park was developed in coordination with the resort's plan for expansion, whose opening will coincide with the opening of the park in 2024.
