This is our 2nd time to visit KidZania and get Jael working those jobs again! The first time around he worked at the construction site, was a culinary attendant, a farmer, and a gas station attendant. Check out our first visit here.
I’d been planning for a trip back so we were better prepared this time around to get the jobs Jael wanted to try. Ate Kianna joined him at most of the jobs and I think it was fun for her as well. The city is open to kids from 4-14 years old.
Armed with our trusty City Map we planned out our day. We chose a weekday because the shift is from 9am to 4pm and we would have the whole day to try and get in as much as we could. Weekend shifts are split in two giving you about 5 hours each.
Aviation Academy
At KidZania not only can you work for some KidZos you can also spend those hard earned KidZos on training and school. On our first visit Jael had already wanted to visit the Aviation Academy and be a pilot however, the line was too long and so we skipped it. Thankfully, this time around the line was bearable.
He was giddy with excitement to be a pilot.
Courier Service
We get packages delivered at home so I think he was intrigued with this. Kianna also wanted to give it a try. They were instructed to pick up some packages from nearby establishments and the responsibility of handling the packages was a worthy one.
He did his practiced dialogue with help from Ate Kianna. Giving them a chance to interact with adults during on the job trainings boosts their confidence.
CSI
If I wasn’t too old for this I would definitely choose to be a CSI officer. Before heading to the lab they played around for a bit in the jail right next to it.
We had to wait a bit for this activity to start since one was already in progress. The nice thing about it is there’s an area for the kids to stand in line and you know how long you have to wait because they inform you if it has just started.
After learning some basics, they went on an at the scene investigation trip where they learned about fingerprinting and looking for clues.
Helpful Tip
There are only a few establishments to eat at in KidZania and the ones that do have tables and chair are ususally filled with people. There are carts of food you can buy from as well. If you need a place to eat or rest there’s the Making Friends Cafe and Clubhouse at the 2nd level.
Pizza Shop
If there’s one place to stop at it’s Yellow Cab on the 2nd level. Though you have to pay 15 KidZos it’s definitely worth it. The kids get to learn how to make pizza and then their creations are baked and can be taken home.
We didn’t bother to wait for home. We hung out at Clubhouse and devoured those pizzas and boy were they good.
Each job aims to teach kids life skills and basic tasks depending on the job. As with any food establishment cleanliness is number one and washing their hands is just one of the things they learn at KidZania.
Bake Shop
At Goldilocks they were given a DIY kit to decorate mamons. Here direction and creativity played big parts in getting the job done. This treat we took home and shared with Kuya Bastian.
Get out of the summer heat and go to KidZania to experience some summer fun learning, exploring interests and creativity.

I can’t wait to bring my kids here.. all the activities are really exciting!
I’ve read a lot of reviews on Kidzania and all of them said it’s really great for the kids. We haven’t tried it yet though. It will really make a dent in our budget but I’ll see what we can do. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow, the prices are now at 1K? We’re only a few blocks away from Kidzania but we’ve not gone there yet. Been reading a lot about it too. Maybe we’ll take the kids there soon. I can already imagine my eldest trying out the CSI while my second and youngest would be heading straight where the food are made, haha.
We haven’t been here!!! 🙁 But we’re planning to na talaga this summer. So even grown-up companions have to pay?
Hi Maine, yes adults also have an entrance fee but it is lower than the kids fee.
Enjoy na enjoy si JL! Hooray sa kids adult land! 🙂
This is just too cute! I have been waiting for the right time to visit this place! Haha, my toddler is still to young to go, and I’m a bit disappointed that you can’t go with the kid in some areas… but KidZania always looks like a lot of fun!
We got to visit Kidzania again too for the second time just last weekend. We still can’t get enough of it. There’s still a lot more attractions to explore.
I hooe to try this with my son someday too. I’ve been seeing a lot of pictures! But he’s turning 2 pa lang, so better wait a few more years.
My eldest got to try the jobs there for a second time a few days ago. Unlike last time though when we went with his friend, this time he tried the jobs alone. He loved the LBC and the Yellow Cab jobs. The pizza did not reach home too, we devoured it right there. It was so yummy! 🙂 We didn’t get to try the Goldilocks though. D niya type hehe.
Like Jael, my son couldn’t get enough of KidZania, too. We’ve also recently revisited, and he was still excited and wanted to come back again.
This is so exciting! I can’t wait for Aya to try out Kidzania as well. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙂
So cool! Like you, I’d probably go for CSI! If only they have an adult day ano? Kidzania for kids at heart. So want to take Bunny here, but she still won’t be able to appreciate this yet.
kidzania is definitely one of the most sulit pplaces to take your kid. my daughter loves it there, as a parent though, i get kinda bored. specially after several visits. hahaha. hope they add more stuff to keep us preoccupied aside from the lounge
