What would things be like if kids ruled the world? A scary thought for most adults, but that's the whole premise behind KidZania USA in Frisco. This miniature town is a place where children ages 4-14 can try out different professions, learn how to manage money, and develop the skills necessary to thrive and succeed.
A miniature city built for and powered by kids, KidZania USA provides a unique opportunity for children ages 4-14 to explore different careers and practice independence.
The 100,000-square-foot complex is located on Preston Road in Frisco.
Upon arrival, both kids and parents are outfitted with RFID security bracelets with real-time location tracking.
That way, you can feel confident letting your little ones run around unaccompanied and truly feel like grown-ups for a day.
So what's there to do at KidZania? In short: everything!
From learning how to fly a plane to reporting the news, kids can take on more than 100 different professions.
KidZania even has its very own government run by - you guessed it - kids.
A set of laws maintains order and keeps the economy stable, with the added bonus of teaching kids how to assimilate into a well-oiled society.
When kids complete a job, they earn "kidZos," the official currency of KidZania.
They can use their hard-earned cash to pay for goods and services in the city.
Brand partnerships give the experience an even more realistic feel, as kids will recognize businesses they see on a daily basis.
It's a hands-on, immersive experience that will teach your kiddos so many valuable life lessons.
On average, kids are able to complete 6-10 activities during their visit.
So by the time you head home, you just might have a future nurse, lawyer, chef, or who knows what else on your hands - the possibilities are endless!
