The City and Kidzania are role-play playgrounds that offer kids the chance to explore what it’s like to live and work in a real functioning city as “mini adults”. Using uniforms and outfits, children can pretend to be a doctor, police, fireman, reporter, aircrew and many more in real-life scenarios. While learning through play, children can improve skills such as planning, working together, negotiation, problem solving, math, among others.
The City
The City is a playground where kids can role-play and try out different adult roles and professions in realistic environments and scenarios. The stations are decked out in furnishings perfectly sized for the little ones. Uniforms and outfits complete the experience, allowing children to transform themselves into cooks, construction workers, cashiers, doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen or even their favorite superhero. Pretending to be grown-ups, they can drive on mini streets and explore small-scale real-life locations, such as the supermarket, caffé, beauty salon, medical clinic and much more.
