Help your kids develop life skills the fun way at KidZania

Dhivya Sairam (for Asaan)

Starting from birth, kids learn valuable lessons that last a lifetime. You believe your child is too young to learn life skills or mature enough to handle real-world situations, don't you? Just because you will be around them and lend a helping hand when they face any challenges, at least until they graduate high school, doesn't mean they cannot have a head start. 

If you could list down a few practical life lessons that you think you should teach your kid, what would they be? Is it going to be decision-making skills, time management, cleaning, money management, or health and hygiene? Life does not always unveil powerful lessons the hard way or way too late, there are cool ways too. 

If there were one place where your kids could learn more, role-play real-world professions and learn life skills the fun way, would it not be cool? KidZania Dubai (UAE) makes it all possible by combining learning and entertainment in their 7,000 sq m scaled replica of a real city for children aged 4 to 16.

kidZos are KidZania's very own currency which they receive as rewards for their hard work post completion of various activities. Each child aged 4-14 will receive 50 kidZos. They can decide to invest kidZos for getting trained in few roles such as Firefighter or Airline Pilot. They can also reap the benefit of their hard work by getting paid in kidZos.

Earned too much? Kids can head to the National Bank of KidZania, deposit a minimum of 75 kidZos and receive their own bank cards. Inside KidZania, they can use the card to withdraw money from ATMs, spend it on activities or save it for their next visit.
