All kids want is some fun with learning experiences and KidZania is dedicated to it. KidZania Dubai goes beyond the regular theme park offerings, where children can participate in different activities.
From education to entertainment, here are all the details about KidZania activities, fees and more.
What is KidZania Dubai?
KidZania Dubai is one of the two branches of KidZania, one of which is in Abu Dhabi. It’s a massive artificial city built over 7000 square metres of land as a scaled-down replica of an actual city. Moreover, it is among the best kids’ activities in Dubai.
If you want your kids to learn practical and social skills in a fun way, KidZania aims to do that. Your children will learn skills aside from their school curriculums. Do you want your kids to get ready for the real world? At KidZania, your children will learn about working jobs, managing money and gaining skills.
How Does KidZania Work?
KidZania lets children participate in many activities that are all based on real-world jobs. Children will learn to work in various medical fields, fire, police and radio stations.
By participating in these activities, children earn KidZos, which they can then spend on other recreational activities in KidZania. They can also choose to open a bank account at the Central Bank of KidZania, where they can store their KidZos for future visits.
Upon joining KidZania, children receive a KidZania PaZZport. Children can collect stamps and place them on their PaZZport, which grants them various benefits, such as earning more KidZos or getting discounts at stores.
