Kidzania – on Video
Back in April we went with our friends the O’Briens to Kidzania in Mexico City. Since some of you have been curious about the place, I put together a few video clips to give you an idea what it’s like. First, here’s the description of the idea from the Kidzania website:
KidZania provides children and their parents a safe, unique, and very realistic educational environment that allows kids between the ages of four to twelve to do what comes naturally to them: role-playing by mimicking traditionally adult activities. As in the real world, children perform “jobs” and are either paid for their work (as a fireman, doctor, police officer, journalist, shopkeeper, etc.) or pay to shop or to be entertained. The indoor theme park is a city built to scale for children, complete with buildings, paved streets, vehicles, a functioning economy, and recognizable destinations in the form of “establishments” sponsored and branded by leading multi-national and local brands.
Once again I had some trouble with the video, and so it mostly has no sound. Which means that the software I use is so old it’s time to move on. But rather than re-do the entire thing (and make you wait a few more weeks!) I’m posting it as-is.
If you don’t like silence, put on your own music while you watch. 😉

Wonderful idea! And they even learned one of the not so nice parts of having a pet dog. 😉
