KidZania an impressive experience
KidZania is an impressive educational experience You enter into a mini city and are hit by hustle and bustle Every type of job is covered - deliveries air conditioning repair space exploration stage performances vet etc We walked around to get our bearings but didn t waste time worrying too much about which activity to do as they are all fun and a great taste of grown-up life It helps if you go prepared - get there early to maximise your time and the kids energy it gets busier around lunch time - have snacks on hand as there are queues for the popular experiences though there are also cafes inside- be a bit strategic about the activities you choose Some have shorter waiting times and only last a short time e g shop assistant in the supermarket so mix those up with the longer activities e g TV news presenter that have longer waiting times for a longer activity - Earn more Kidzos by picking short quick earners there is a board that tells you how much you ll earn My kids loved racing about exploring the city and pretending to be a hospital surgeon fashion designer and bread maker among other things Some activities are age restricted and my girls 5 and 7 decided to do everything together so there were a few things they were not able to do but are excited about going back for Their hard earned Kidzos buy them small gift on the way out e g bouncy ball pencil sharpener my girls wanted something bigger so I told them they have to work hard to earn more Kidzos next time

We absolutely loved Kidzania
We absolutely loved Kidzania We went yesterday and after reading the reviews I was really concerned We were there 12-3pm my 6 7 year old just got too exhausted to stay any longer we had a 3hr long drive prior The favourites were the vets and midwife All the staff were lovely and helpful There was a few things closed but everything we wanted to do was open We will definitely be back to finish what we didn t do For my girls there still young and didn t really understand job money fully so they wernt really bothered about paying for vets or getting money they just enjoyed the experience Id recommend if you have children 4-9 yrs nothing really for under 4s to do

Kids loved it
My kids had an absolutely terrific time Bizarrely they both absolutely loved being parcel couriers over and above being firefighters Clearly they have an eye for efficiency rather than danger There is so much for them to experience Queues were not an issue for us And I thought that the food for the adults was quite reasonably priced relative to other attractions Would highly recommend

Hello
Hello I went to Kidzania for my daughter s 4th birthday on the 8th of April Let me just say we all had a fantastic time with my husband and mum coming along for the excitement One particular staff member Eamon wears glasses was extremely helpful understanding and went above and beyond for my little girl and I am forever grateful The overall staff were excellent and helpful but this boy Eamon he needs a promotion for all his hardwork I hope this review makes a difference for him he truly is a wonderful human being and the boy deserves a raise Thank you thank you and I hope I spelt your name properly -

A great day out
Upon reading the other reviews I wonder if either things have changed dramatically or we just went on a good day We attended with three 10 year old girls and accompanied them in It was the first Saturday of the half term so in theory could have been busy It wasn t We arrived for the 10am - 2pm session and it felt a bit busier between 11 30am and 1pm but we never felt it was too busy or weren t able to do activities The longest we waited for any activity was 10 mins The majority of the staff were great - yes a lot of them are young and perhaps one or two needed some additional training or motivation at times but all in all they were good and some were excellent The girls took part in 10 activities and thoroughly enjoyed themselves The atmosphere was fun and the coordination between activities with the fire at the hotel and the ambulance and police arriving on scene was a clever touch It s perfect for children who enjoy role play so if you are wanting a more thrilling and traditional fun day out I d suggest heading to a theme park or soft play As many have said the shop to spend your wages in isn t great but the concept of earning and spending your wages and deciding to pay for activities or save your salary is a good learning experience I wouldn t recommend leaving your kids there to manage themselves as it needs a bit of guidance on where to go and sometimes a bit of adult persuasion Eg the girls were told they couldn t partake in the radio broadcasting as they needed a group of 6 - no one else was waiting so my friend suggested they took the girls and adapted the session Us mums actually joined in at the end Admittedly the staff member looked a bit miffed but this comes down to training - she was told groups of 6 only but this rule was turning individuals away so it just needed some experience in judgement and decision making to ensure children didn t lose out As I say perhaps we visited on a good day but our girls had great fun I d suggest it s better for the older children 7-10 years as some activities the adults couldn t go in to and younger children weren t happy to leave mum and dad Eg adults couldn t watch the pilot training but a kind member of staff offered to film it and take photos on our phones instead As with all theme parks activity centres and attractions there are always opportunities offered for them to increase your spend - do you NEED the lanyards and passports No The kids still enjoy the activities in exactly the same way But they are fun and if you are happy to pay then why not Food and drink is in line with other family attractions We just fed the girls plenty before we went in and headed to McDonald s afterwards But as older girls I do appreciate they are more adaptable and could have a later lunch than younger children In conclusion we had a great day

Birthday party
My daughter celebrated her 8th birthday party in Kidzania recently and she and her friends had the best day ever They all didn t want to leave after s nearly 5 hour party and they were asking their parents if they could have their b- day parties in Kidzania as well The whole staff was very helpful but Nutaylah was really special She was so kind so helpful and supportive from the beginning till to the end of the party She came often checking on us giving advise to the children about their activities and very hands on during the lunch and cake time She is a star and a great part of the team so she definitely deserves a recognition about it Also I was reading a few negative comments about Kidzania which surprised me My daughter has a annual pass and we enjoy every time we go there Is such a Great place to entertain kids of any age Is beautiful and clean as well The only negative thing I would say is about food price which tend to be a bit expensive Otherwise Kidzania is a great alternative for a family day out on school holidays weekend and rainy days
