Kidzania - the Kids City in Bangkok

Originally a Mexican company, Kidzania has been in family entertainment centres since 1999 and it the perfect place to visit in Bangkok with family. It's unique in its idea of creating a mini Kidzania world in which children run the town! With over 80 jobs for kids to try out like journalists, doctors, pilots, and dentists (with kid-friendly versions of the real equipment) it's all incredibly realistic. Kids between the years of four to 15 years old can take part.

They earn 'Kidzos' money and can even open their own bank account at Kidzania, which can be used to buy souvenirs and gifts. Through this simulation of a town, kids get to experience work-life and the real world first-hand. But the best news is that parents aren't allowed to take part or interfere. They can leave their kids at Kidzania under watchful eyes and enjoy their afternoon all by themselves.
