Located inside the largest Dubai Mall and spread over 7,000 sq meters, Kidzania offers real-world activities in a city built exclusively for the little ones. With more than 80 choices, your child can engage in different roles like a doctor, pilot, firefighter, police officer, and many more. Read the article below and find out what this place has for you.

How does it work?

The adventure into Kidzania begins as the doors to the imaginary world open for the kids. On your arrival, parents and their kids are electronically tagged with RFID security bracelets, and kids will receive boarding passes at the airport and 50 Kidzos(Kidzania currency). Children will then have to cash in the money in a bank account and they will receive a debit card. They will pick a profession from various roles and accomplish the tasks assigned to them. 

Under the guidance of “supervisors,” kids can learn, play and work in a safe town. Children will then have to do the jobs assigned under a particular profession and earn wages for the jobs they perform. The more you work, the more Kidzos you will earn. The money earned can be spent on leisure activities like shopping, spa, or entertainment. Thus, Kidzania offers an opportunity for kids to live like an adult in a safe and playful environment.

Popular Kidzania activities and attractions:

1. Supermarket: From buying food and learning about food safety, and customer service tips, your kids will learn what it takes to run a supermarket. Those who love shopping will love this activity.

2. Bank: This activity will let you help customers with their financial inquiries, from opening an account to allowing them to save their kidzos for the future. Those who are good with numbers will enjoy this role.

6. Flight Simulator: Children can play two roles- either as a pilot and co-pilot or sit in a plane as passengers to receive the flight services. If they choose to become a pilot, they will learn how to fly a plane using a flight simulator, which looks more like a real flyDubai aircraft. In the latter option, children will learn about the safety and evacuation procedures and be treated as passengers inside the plane.
