SCHOOL HOLIDAYS BLAST! LET'S GO..






What IS KidZania? KidZania was founded in Mexico City in 1996 by Xavier Lopez, who dreamed of creating a place where kids could have fun while enjoying real-life experiences. The first park was opened in Mexico City in 1999 and there are currently 8 other KidZanias in 6 countries. KidZania offers an interactive learning and entertainment experience for kids in a kid-sized city. KidZania empowers and inspires kids to pursue their life’s dreams by exploring what it’s like to live and work in a real functioning city. KidZania is targeted at kids aged between 4 to 14 years where they can choose among 90 activities from 60 establishments. To sum it up, KidZania allows kids to play grown-ups in their own mini city. For toddlers and infants aged 0 to 3 years, there is a dedicated section located on the Mezzanine floor called ‘Urbano’s House’. KidZania Malaysia is located in Curve NX in Mutiara Damansara, and run by Themed Attractions, the same people that brings us Legoland Malaysia. KidZania fits 1,700 people at any one time across 80,000 sq ft of entertainment space. It spans across 2 stories of space and is a scaled-down version of a real life city. Managed by over 300 staff or Zupervisors, they speak a different language there, Kai (instead of Hi), Zee You (instead of See You or goodbye). It also has its own currency called the KidZos, and kids earn KidZos which can be used to pay for goods and services and also stored in an ATM card! KidZania partners with real-life brands in the adult world to provide authenticity to the experience; banking services and the ATM card are provided by CIMB Bank, AirAsia for its airline partner, KPJ Healthcare for its hospital, Dell for computers and etc.
