The popular Mexican chain of family entertainment centres, KidZania recently opened its theme park in Bangkok. Being one of the world’s fastest growing global edutainment brands, Kidzania has been receiving millions of visitors at its locations around the world, over the years. These theme parks are created to resemble a child-sized replica of an actual city inclusive of buildings, theatres and shops as well as pedestrians and vehicles moving along its streets.
These entertainment venues let children work and earn currency. The money the children earn by performing these tasks are kept in each theme park’s bank, to be spent on KidZania activities and at the gift shop. A special feature of these parks is that children are given electronic bracelets to wear, which allow parents to remotely keep track of them. A 14 member group of children carry out the governance of KidZania, a 26% share of which is owned by the famous Bollywood actor Shahruk Khan.
In recognition of the brand’s uniqueness and value as well as its future potential, various organizations presented many awards to KidZania which was voted by IAAPA as the World’s Top Family Entertainment Centre.
