KidZania Kuala Lumpur

Welcome to KidZania Kuala Lumpur – a nation where children can lead independent lives and understand the world of grown-ups better, by being grown-ups themselves. This innovative interactive edutainment centre offers a unique learning environment where children can experience adult life through role-playing activities in a kid-sized city replica.

The KidZania Concept

KidZania Kuala Lumpur represents a revolutionary approach to children’s entertainment and education. Unlike traditional theme parks with rides and arcade games, KidZania focuses on experiential learning through realistic role-playing scenarios. The facility is designed as a miniature city complete with streets, buildings, and functioning establishments where children can engage in various professions and learn about the working world.

Educational Through Entertainment

The core philosophy behind KidZania is “learn through play.” Each activity is carefully designed to be both fun and educational, helping children develop important life skills while having an enjoyable time. The experiences help children understand different professions, develop decision-making abilities, learn financial literacy, and build social skills in a safe, supervised environment.

Spend their money at the various shops and services within the city
Learn about budgeting and financial planning
Understand the value of money and work

This system teaches children important economic concepts like earning, saving, spending, and making financial decisions in a practical, hands-on way.
