1 . A KidZania opened in Frisco, Texas on November 23, 2019. The indoor play area is unique because it promises to teach children about the real world—while they have a great time!
A KidZania is an interactive mini-city created for children between 4 and 14 years old, where they can walk freely, exploring various activities. The goal is for them to learn about the world through realistic role-play. That's why you'll find theaters, shops, and office buildings inside the city walls along with pedestrians and tiny vehicles.
At these places, kids can spend about 20 minutes per session being firefighters, mail carriers, construction workers, dentists, nail technicians, bankers, or even broadcast journalists.
If a kid wants to be a doctor or see what it's like to be a veterinarian(兽医), they can get a taste of it, said Mike Laudizio, KidZania's” mayor (市长)”and general manager.
They get their hands in it, and it really gives them the freedom to explore the city.”
Since children learn best by doing, they are more likely to leave KidZania with a newfound appreciation for different jobs and a better grasp of how the world works. Best of all, while the kids work, they earn KidZos by doing their jobs well or by achieving small goals like washing their hands or participating in branded activities. They have the choice of cashing in for toys and candy at the gift shop or saving up in the KidZania bank for another day.
Our only question is when one of these will open for adults. This place looks great fun, and it can teach kids important lessons about the world we live in. Let's hope more KidZanias open in the U. S.
