Kidzania is not your run-of-the-mill children’s theme park. It is an exciting immersive career role-playing experience that mimics real life!
.
We took our kids to Kidzania KL a few days ago and were blown away by just how beneficial it was for their development. It is a kid-sized world filled with all the things we adults see and do everyday.
.
You begin by purchasing tickets to board an AirAsia flight to Kidzania. Once you “arrive” you begin your journey through the bustling city with 50 kidZos (the official currency of Kidzania). This isn’t just kids’ monopoly money. You can really earn and spend your kidZos on actual items and experiences like a makeover or a meal.
.
They encounter real-life occupations in a fun and engaging learning environment! It’s an unschoolers dream!
.
The children are first encouraged to explore the city, find a job, and begin working. Children are entirely free to go and do as they wish. Parents are welcome to observe but not interfere.
.
Want to drive a car? You’ll first need to earn a driver’s license and buy car insurance. Want to walk the runway in a real fashion show? You’ll first need to go learn and practice with a fashion icon.
.
As you approach a location in the city, you can enter either as a paying customer or an employee. From courier to surgeon, from firefighter to magician, the children are free to learn about and become what they want. It’s fun hard work!
In Kidzania, children learn to be independent, understand the values of teamwork, and even develop real life skills (like financial planning at their very own bank).
.
Not only was our time at Kidzania an incredible learning experience, but the staff was warm, kind, and attentive. We cannot wait for our next visit!
