6/16/2015 Kidzania


Our first activity was a kid activity center.  A fabulous fun place.  We were signed up for both the first (9 to 3) and second (4 to 9) sessions.  A family from their school joined us.  Kaitlyn is 14 and Kyle is 8. They paired up by sex and really had a fun time together.

The kids can be either workers or customers for activities.  The workers earn money that they can then spend.  Everyone starts off with some cash and there is a bank with ATM's to store your money.

Among other things the girls worked at the cell phone store waiting on customers (demonstrating how to take pictures, etc.), the soft serve ice cream shop, and the freeze dried food factory.



The boys made hamburgers, pens, and their own watercolor sets.



Both groups were together as actors on a food show (earned money and received a DVD of the show)  and made candy.  The candy company is the most popular activity and fills up all of its time slots before the park opens.  We had line priority for the late session, so we trained the kids to dash directly there.  They were first in line!



A lot of the activities were sponsored by real Japanese companies and the uniforms were what the real workers wear.

At one point I heard the Wedding March and rushed to take a picture of a wedding party complete with groom provided by Kidzania.


By 9 we were all exhausted and still had 1 1/2 hours on the crowded train to get home.  The kids managed to stay awake until we got seats on the second train.  Luckily Calder could be awakened, so could walk himself off the train. We took a cab home.
