What to do
At the entrance, KidZania International Airport, you need to buy your tickets. Upon registration, you will get a check worth 50 KidZos, a city map, and security bracelets for the kids and parents. After check-in, get ready to enter the world of KidZania.
First, proceed to the bank, BPI, to encash the check worth 50 KidZos. Your kids can then use the money for their trainings inside KidZania because there are activities that they need to pay. Otherwise, they can keep it and let their KidZos grow by looking for jobs and earning from it.
At KidZania, kids have the RightZ to choose what they want. They have six fundamental rightZ:
- To Be
- To Know
- To Create
- To Share
- To Care
- To Play
I pretty much let Gwen choose what activities or jobs she likes. First job she took was in a laundromat. Gwen said they were taught how to sort clothes according to color, operate the washing machine, mix the detergent, and fold the clothes.
KidZania Laundromat: Operate the laundry service of the city and learn how to clean, sort, pick-up, and deliver laundry around KidZania
After tackling the laundry, she worked as a nurse and took care of the babies at the hospital.

After each work, kids will earn KidZos. The rate depends on your work. At the hospital, she got paid 15 KidZos for working for 20 minutes.
Gwen jumped onto the glamorous world of modelling. She was taught how to walk and pose like a model, so cute! They let her pick her outfit at Penshoppe before her photo shoot. She earned 15 KidZos for her stint.
Fashion Boutique: Model clothes and accessories inside the boutique or be part of the fashion show in the Theater.
At the second floor, she worked at the Farm House.
Farm House Store: Learn the importance of fruits and vegetables by planting, harvesting, and delivering produce.
Aside from planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables, she will deliver the harvest to the supermarket, Healthy Options.
At the residential area, Gwen built parts of the wall as a construction worker. This job earned her 20 KidZos.
Construction Site: Build the walls of a house under construction using bricks and mortar.
Some activities or trainings require the kids to pay KidZos such as training in Cebu Pacific as a flight attendant or a pilot. You need to pay 15 KidZos to undergo training.
Aviation Academy: Receive professional training on tasks that pilots and cabin crew members do before, during, and after each flight.
If kids can’t decide what jobs they like, there’s also a Job Information Center wherein they can help kids find a job match depending on their personality.
Employment Office: Jobseekers welcome! Find the right job for you or print your own kool business cards to take home.
After taking on a couple of jobs, Gwen surely knows how to work hard and play harder. She then used some of her KidZos to go to the salon. Time for some pampering time, she chose a pink nail polish!

Other cool jobs your kids might want to try are firefighter, courier, or as a DJ at the radio station.
Gas Station: Operate the gas pump, change oil, check tire pressure, and care for a customer’s car.
Courier Service: Pick-up and deliver packages across the city. You will also learn how to handle and store goods.
KidZania Radio Station: Transmit music, news reports, and radio dramas within the city. Be part of a live radio broadcast!

Kids can also apply for their own PaZZport and gain additional kidZos and benefits. KidZanians can also use it in other countries when they travel.
What to do with kidZos?
If your child earned a lot of kidZos, he/she can use it to buy stuff at the Department Store. If they don’t want to spend their kidZos, then head over to the bank and open a savings account. They will be given a BPI ATM card and they can withdraw their money when they come back.
Gwen has 69 KidZos in her account
Souvenir Shop
Like any attractions, KidZania Manila also has its own souvenir shop where you can buy plush toys featuring KidZania’s mascots. Firefighter costumes and nurses costumes are also on sale, perfect for the Halloween.
One day isn’t enough to cover all of the attractions in KidZania. I think you need to come back up to 5 times just to try all the activities. But here’s a tip, go to unique activities first like the Aviation Academy, Fire Station, and CSI because slots get filled up fast. Some attractions requires to have at least 3 to 5 kids to start so consider this factor too as it takes longer to finish than having a solo activity.
KidZania City Map
KidZania is so big the map doesn’t fit my scanner, lol! But to give you an idea, here’s KidZania’s city map. It has two levels.
Don’t forget to read about our: KidZania Bangkok experience
Z U at KidZania and have a blast!
Wow! we have Kidzania here na pala, thank you for those info Ms. Badet, I’ll share it with my nephews and nieces… and Gwen looks like she enjoys everything hehe…nice post 🙂
Astig!!!! Super nice ng atm ni gwen, i love the idea!
Sana magkabudget ng mapuntahan namin soon. For a family of 4, mejo mabigat sa bulsa. Hehhehe
I am sooo excited to go! Mas excited pa ata ako kesa sa anak ko. Haha!
It’s great that we now have a large playground for kids where they can learn a lot of things based on what they see and experience in the venue. I think adults will also enjoy visiting here.
i have heard of Kidzania and i think the cost of the ticket is reasonable… kids will surely enjoy … i am thinking of taking my niece here…
I gave this media event a pass since 2 of my kids are below 3 years old and would only be able to explore 2 areas all in all. Maybe when they’re older. Kidzania Manila looks amazing! Kids will definitely go bonkers over it!
I love to visit here. On payday, me and my son will visit there. Looks like this event will love by our kids.
Everytime I see a post about KidZania, I feel really sad that I wasn’t able to attend the launching but I’m happy to see how amazing this place is and I hope to take my son with me there when the right time comes. 🙂
I can’t wait to bring my kids here, I know they will love this because even I feel the excitement of going here!
Wow! My son will definitely love it here. I just hope this is also in Davao.
Everything is just so well thought of in Kidzania. i especially like the BPi savings one because kids get to learn how to start saving money while having fun! Initially I thought the entrance was pricey, but considering how many the options are inside, it sounds worth it.
This is one great place for kids. Naka-set na ang date namin ng apo ko dito. Handa ko na ang wallet ko.
I really love this concept for kids because it will help them get an idea of what responsibility and living as an adult is. They may not realize it right away but when they look back their experience here, they’d be able to understand it more as they grow up.
Can adults go even without a kid? I just wanna check out the place. Hehe.
Such a cool place for kids. They will surely enjoy a lot of activities in just 1 place. Will be searching it for my nephew.s 🙂
We’ll be back next weekend with my niece and nephews, they can’t wait to check what’s in store at Kidzania
Louise, you can’t go in without a kid eh 🙂
It’s really nice kids get to experience this. They can really learn a lot of real life lessons here.
