KidZania®

OVERVIEWKidZania® Dubai is a highly interactive edutainment centre that provides children aged 2-16 with a safe, unique, and realistic educational environment to do what comes naturally to them; role-play.

From police officer to dentist to journalist, KidZania offers over 80 role-playing activities in more than 50 establishments, enabling children to understand the world of grown-ups better by being grown-ups themselves.

KidZania’s attention to professionalism and training has earned it the highest level of trust among parents, educators and community leaders as a facility where kids can have fun, exert their independence, and be safe.

KidZania® – THE CITYThe indoor edutainment centre is built as a replica of a real city, complete with buildings, paved streets, vehicles, a functioning economy, and recognizable establishments sponsored and branded by leading multi-national and local brands, including a hospital, fire station, beauty salon, bank, radio station, supermarket, television station, pizzeria, theatre, and much more. The 80,000 square foot city is scaled down two-thirds in height and therefore all facilities are designed to be ‘just right’ for children.

THE EXPERIENCEThe KidZania journey begins by “checking-in” at KidZania International Airport and receiving a Boarding Pass, a city map and a cheque for 50 KidZos, the official currency of KidZania.

As in the real world, children perform jobs and are either paid for their work (as a fireman, doctor, police officer, journalist, beautician, etc.) or pay to shop or to be entertained.

Kids work to earn kidZos, KidZania’s own currency, so they can pay for goods and services in the KidZania city. The more children work, the more they earn, and the more they can experience.

“Zupervisors” are always on hand to introduce and provide support for each activity, helping kids accomplish their task as they work and play.

EDUCATIONAL VALUERole-playing is a universal form of play enjoyed by children all over the world. Role-play, while being fun, has very positive educational, psychological and motivational benefits.

The play activities designed for every KidZania establishment allow the children to experiment and experience the roles and rules of the adult world, making these fun activities a memorable learning experience. Children’s, creative thinking and social skills are stimulated while their self-esteem and self-confidence are fortified.

From the highly involved and hands-on experience, kids acquire significant learnings to apply in their school life as well as their family and social environments, always supported and supervised by our highly qualified and trained personnel.

Psychologists, educators and play experts were extensively consulted during the development of KidZania activities to ensure our curriculum content matches school areas of focus including creativity, critical thinking, communication, confidence and collaboration.
