Concept and Execution

Brilliant is one word. You can get a first hand insight into the likes and dislikes of your child. It will also give you a sneek preview on what will your child have an aptitude to be. It is like a vocational training and entertainment exercise all rolled in one. Each activity has a time and type of activity. A fixed batch of children are allowed inside and the rest have to wait in a queue. Some busy activities, children are given tokens for the next batch. Each activity is based on real life situations and locations. The activity begins with a briefing and ends with a hands on activity by the child. Each activity will cost money and on successful completion of the activity the child gets paid.

For First Time Visitors

As you enter the place, you are greeted as if you are entering an airport terminal to transport you to another world. You do the check in where a wrist band is attached to each person who is entering inside. The child is given 50 kidZos (KidZania) currency. This has to be en cashed at the bank. You can either get cash or prepared a debit card for your self. Debit cards are customized with the children names printed instantly.

You can also get a passport made. Advantages of a passport is that each activity will cost less and earning will be more. Passport is of three different types, each one on increasing level. Plus managing the passport is an activity for the child itself.

Check out the list of items which are allowed and not allowed. Lockers are available outside to keep items which are not allowed. Water and cameras are allowed. So are ladies bags.

There are plenty of options for food and snacks inside the complex. Watch out for the rush during peak hours. Parking outside is part of the other malls. Available in plenty.
