KidZania
KidZania offers children a fun, yet realistic take into the adult world, as they get the unique opportunity to experience a number of ‘jobs’ or leisure activities.
The interactive city covering over 7 000 square meters is for children aged 2-14. The newly built indoor city houses a Boeing 737 at the centre and when you arrive at KidZania, you will find yourself at the "airport check-in area".
"When you check in, you and your kids will each receive a security bracelet with GPS tracking device. This will be active for your four-hour time slot, and will deactivate when your time slot is up," says the KidZania site, adding that the experience allows kids to work, earn and play.
