Dubai Kidzania
The concept of KidZania originated in Mexico City in 1999, and has since spread to over 27 countries around the world, including the United Arab Emirates. The Dubai KidZania is one of the largest KidZania centers in the world, covering an area of over 7,000 square meters.
The KidZania experience begins with a check-in at the KidZania airport, where children receive a boarding pass and are greeted by KidZania staff dressed in airline uniforms. After check-in, children enter the miniature city and are free to explore the various zones and activities.
The city is designed to replicate a real city, with streets, buildings, and landmarks such as a hospital, fire station, bank, and supermarket. Each activity is designed to simulate a real-life profession or industry, such as being a doctor, pilot, chef, or police officer.
Children can participate in over 80 different professions and activities, earning KidZos, the official KidZania currency, for completing tasks and jobs. They can then spend their KidZos on goods and services in the city, such as food and souvenirs.
One of the most popular activities in KidZania is the Emirates Aviation Academy, where children can learn about aviation and take a simulated flight as a pilot or cabin crew member. The academy includes a mock airplane cabin, cockpit, and airport control tower, giving children a realistic experience of working in the aviation industry.
Another popular activity is the Dubai Police Academy, where children can learn about law enforcement and participate in a simulated police chase. The academy includes a mock police station, jail, and police car, allowing children to experience the thrill of being a police officer.
KidZania also features a hospital, where children can learn about healthcare professions such as being a doctor, nurse, or paramedic. The hospital includes a simulated operating room, emergency room, and patient rooms, giving children a realistic experience of working in the medical field.
For children interested in the culinary arts, KidZania features a cooking school where they can learn about cooking and baking. The cooking school includes a mock kitchen, bakery, and café, allowing children to prepare and serve food and drinks to other KidZania visitors.
KidZania also has a focus on sustainability and environmental awareness. The city features a recycling center, where children can learn about recycling and participate in sorting and processing recyclable materials. They can also learn about renewable energy sources and participate in activities related to solar power and wind energy.
In addition to the various activities and professions, KidZania also offers a number of workshops and classes for children to learn new skills and knowledge. These workshops cover a wide range of topics, such as science, art, and technology, and are led by trained KidZania staff.
One of the unique aspects of KidZania is that it allows children to develop important life skills, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. By working together with other children and KidZania staff, children can learn how to cooperate and communicate effectively, while also developing their creativity and critical thinking skills.
KidZania is also a safe and secure environment for children. The city is staffed by trained professionals, and children are monitored by KidZania staff at all times. Parents are not allowed inside the city, but can observe their children from designated areas outside the city.
In conclusion, Dubai KidZania is an innovative and educational entertainment center that provides children with a unique learning experience.
