How Much Is a Burger King Kids Meal in 2026?

Burger King Kids Meal prices range from $3.99 to $5.99 in the U.S., depending on the meal and the location. The hamburger, cheeseburger, and 4-piece nugget meals cost $3.99 to $4.99, and the 6-piece nugget meal costs $1 more. Every meal comes with a main, fries, apple juice, a toy, and a paper crown.
Picking a hamburger, cheeseburger, or 4-piece nuggets won’t change what you pay. All three shared the same price at every restaurant we checked.

Current King Jr. Meal Promo: Hello Kitty and Friends

The Burger King kids meal toy right now comes from Hello Kitty and Friends. Burger King teamed up with Sanrio, the company behind Hello Kitty, and the meal launched at participating U.S. restaurants on October 20, 2026.
Here’s the good news for parents: the Hello Kitty meal costs the same as a regular King Jr. Meal. You pay nothing extra for the toy or the special crown.

What Comes in the Hello Kitty King Jr. Meal?

• A hamburger, cheeseburger, or 4-piece or 6-piece chicken nuggets
• Fries or Mott’s Applesauce
• A kids drink
• One Hello Kitty and Friends toy in a mystery blind box
• A Hello Kitty meal bag and an exclusive Hello Kitty crown, while supplies last

All 6 Hello Kitty Toys at Burger King

The set has six toys. Five of them are Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and Keroppi. Each character wears a tiny Burger King crown, and some hold a BK menu item. The sixth toy is a rare golden Hello Kitty.
Each meal comes with one toy, and you can’t choose which one you get. The box stays sealed until you open it, and the toys in stock can vary by restaurant.

What Are the Odds of Getting the Golden Hello Kitty?

Burger King’s official promo terms say about 5% of the toys are golden Hello Kitty figures. That’s roughly one in every 20 meals, on average. Every toy has the same value, so the golden one is a fun bonus, not a separate prize. Golden toys are limited, though, so they may run out sooner at some restaurants.

How Long Is the Hello Kitty Meal Available?

Burger King hasn’t shared an end date. The meal is a limited-time offer at participating restaurants while supplies last. If your child has a favorite character, it’s smart to go sooner rather than later. You can read the full details in Burger King’s official announcement.

What Comes in a Burger King Kids Meal?

Burger King does serve kids meals. Its children’s meal is called the King Jr. Meal, and every one has four parts: a main, a side, a drink, and a toy. A paper crown comes with it, too. If you don’t change anything, the meal comes with Value French Fries and an Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink.

Both kids burgers use the same flame-grilled Whopper Jr. patty, made with 100% beef. The nuggets are white-meat chicken in a crispy, seasoned breading.

Side Options

• Value French Fries: the default side, with 230 calories
• Mott’s Applesauce: the lighter pick, with about 50 calories
• Onion rings: offered at some restaurants

Drink Options

The default drink is Honest Kids Apple Juice. It’s made with organic apple juice and has 35 calories and 8 grams of sugar. You can also choose milk. A value-size soft drink is another option, but some restaurants may charge more for it.

The Toy and Paper Crown

Each meal comes with one toy. The toys change with each new promotion and are often tied to a movie, a show, or a popular brand. Kids also get Burger King’s classic paper crown with every meal.

Extra Charges and Upgrades in a King Jr. Meal

Most changes to a King Jr. Meal are free, but a few can raise the price:

• 6-piece nuggets: adds exactly $1 at every restaurant we checked
• Soft drink instead of juice: may cost extra at some restaurants
• Extra dipping sauce: the nugget meals include one sauce, so a second one may cost more

Simple changes, like leaving off the ketchup or swapping fries for applesauce, usually don’t change the price. The BK app shows your final total before you pay, so there are no surprises.

Is a Kids Meal Cheaper Than Buying Items Separately?

In most cases, yes. A kid’s burger, fries, and a juice box each have their own menu price. Added together, they usually cost more than the meal, and you don’t get a toy.
To check at your restaurant, open the BK app and look up each item on its own. Then compare the total with the meal price. If your child won’t touch the fries or the juice, buying just the main could still be the cheaper choice.

Burger King Kids Meal Calories and Nutrition

A King Jr. Meal has 475 to 575 calories with the default fries and apple juice. Swapping fries for applesauce cuts about 180 calories. That’s a bigger drop than switching from one main to another.

Value French Fries add 230 calories and 200 mg of sodium, and the apple juice adds 35 calories. The meal calories on BK.com don’t count the nugget dipping sauce. To see the full nutrition and allergen details for any item, open it on the official Burger King kids menu.

Healthiest King Jr. Meal Combo

For the fewest calories, order the 4-piece nuggets with Mott’s Applesauce and apple juice. That comes to about 295 calories, plus the sauce. The hamburger with applesauce and juice is a close second at about 345 calories.
If you’re watching salt, skip the cheese. The cheeseburger has 210 mg more sodium than the hamburger.

Higher-Calorie Combos

The 6-piece nugget meal with fries tops the list at 575 calories, before the sauce. The cheeseburger meal comes next at 565 calories. Both work fine as a treat, but they’re the heaviest picks on the kids menu.

Which King Jr. Meal Has the Most Protein?

The cheeseburger and the 6-piece nuggets tie for the most protein, with 16 grams each. The hamburger has 14 grams, and the 4-piece nuggets have 11 grams.

Allergen Information

None of the default King Jr. Meals are gluten-free. The buns and the nugget breading contain wheat, and the fries are made on shared equipment. The hamburger is the only main with no milk, which helps if your child has a dairy allergy.
Recipes can change, so check Burger King’s official allergen details before you order for a child with food allergies.

Why Do Burger King Kids Meal Prices Vary by Location?

Each Burger King restaurant sets its own prices. Rent, wages, and other local costs all play a part. That’s why the same meal can cost $1 more in one city than in another.

What We Found in Four U.S. Cities

A big city doesn’t always mean a higher price. The restaurants we checked in Midtown Manhattan, Chicago, and Houston all charged $3.99. The Fresno, California, restaurant charged $4.99.
One pattern held everywhere: the three standard meals shared one price, and the 6-piece nugget meal cost $1 more.

How to Find the Burger King Kids Meal Price Near You

1. Open the BK app or go to BK.com.
2. Use the store locator to pick your nearest restaurant.
3. Open the King Jr. Meals section of the menu.
4. Tap a meal to see its price and the sides, drinks, and sauces that the restaurant offers.

The price you see applies only to that restaurant, so check again if you switch locations. Ordering in the app also lets you set the side, drink, and sauce before you arrive.

In-Store vs. Delivery App Prices

Delivery apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub often charge more than the restaurant and add their own fees. Pickup through the BK app is usually the cheaper choice.

How to Save Money on King Jr. Meals

Burger King runs kids meal deals from time to time, so check the Offers tab in the BK app before each visit. In August 2024, for example, Royal Perks members got a free King Jr. Meal when they spent $10 or more through the app or BK.com. That deal didn’t work during breakfast hours.
For general Burger King coupons and how Royal Perks points work, see our guide to saving money at Burger King.

King Jr. Meal vs. McDonald’s Happy Meal

The two meals are built the same way. Each one gives kids a main, a side, a drink, and a toy, and both offer a hamburger or 4-piece or 6-piece nuggets. The biggest menu difference is the burger choice. Burger King offers both a hamburger and a cheeseburger, while the McDonald’s Happy Meal menu lists only a hamburger. Burger King’s burgers are also flame-grilled, which gives them a smoky taste.
Hello Kitty fans have had a busy year. McDonald’s ran a Hello Kitty and Godzilla Happy Meal in August, and Burger King followed with its own Hello Kitty set in October.
Like Burger King, McDonald’s lets each restaurant set its own Happy Meal price. To compare fairly, check both apps for the restaurants closest to you.

Can Adults Order a Burger King Kids Meal?

Yes. Burger King doesn’t list an age limit for the King Jr. Meal, so anyone can order one. Many adults choose it for a smaller, cheaper lunch. If you’re hungrier, a Whopper meal is the better fit. You can compare every Burger King meal with prices on our Burger King lunch menu page.

Can You Get a Kids Meal During Burger King Breakfast Hours?

King Jr. Meals may not be available during breakfast at many restaurants. Burger King breakfast usually ends around 10:30 a.m., but hours vary by location. If you’re heading out early, check the BK app to see what your restaurant is serving. For more, see our guides to the Burger King breakfast menu and Burger King hours.

Is the Burger King Kids Meal Worth the Price?

For most families, yes. At $3.99 at most of the restaurants we checked, you get a full meal, a toy, and a crown. The Hello Kitty set makes it an even better deal right now, since the toys cost nothing extra. Check your local price in the BK app, pick the side and drink that your child likes, and earn rewards on every order.
