KidZania Mumbai
KidZania Mumbai is a global indoor theme park, located in R-City Mall, Ghatkopar, Mumbai, India. It is a family entertainment centre for children in the age group of 4 to 16 to enhance their social and cognitive skills. Opened in August 2013, KidZania Mumbai is India's first, and the world's 14th KidZania theme park. Overview
The Kidzania Mumbai kids park is a real lifestyle theme based games zone for kids age 4 to 16 years. The park has a real city like look with real time brand like buildings and structures. Over 100 activities planned in the park engage kids in enacting roles and accomplish tasks. The fun and benefit is being paid on task accomplishments. So kids enact to become a fireman, a radio jockey or a doctor; perform duties and get credits. Unique to KidZania Mumbai, children can also experience local establishments like the Bollywood Acting Academy, Pottery Studio and the Dabbawalla service (boxed lunch delivery). KidZania gives kids the opportunity to play adult roles by allowing them to emulate, re-enact and participate in adult activities and experiences. History
KidZania was created and developed by Mexican entrepreneur Xavier López Ancona. The first KidZania opened in September 1999, in Santa Fe Shopping Mall in Mexico City, and was named La Ciudad de los Niños ("The City of the Children"). Today there are 24 KidZania Theme Parks operational around the world with 10 more to be launched by the end of 2020. KidZania has received more than 35 million guests around the world since its opening, making it one of the fastest growing global edutainment brands in the world. KidZania has been brought to the domestic market by ImagiNation Edutainment India, which is promoted by Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, with 26 percent stake, and KidZ Inc of Singapore, which holds the remaining 74 percent. KidZ Inc. is co-owned by the Comcraft, Xander & Maxfield Management Ltd. Groups. Age eligibility
Children between 4 and 16 years of age can participate in the role-playing activities at KidZania. However, some activities may have a height and age restriction. Toddlers (aged between 2 and 4 years) have a separate section with play-areas earmarked for them, called Urbano's House, and can participate in some of the role-playing activities. Babies (below the age of 2 years) can relax and enjoy in the play-areas at Urbano's House. Adults and parents can observe their children role-playing in various activities, or spend time in the Pepperfry Parents Lounge.
