Just opened is KidZania, the UK’s first educational entertainment (or ‘edutainment') experience where children aged four to fourteen can learn real-life skills in a (75,000sq ft.) child-size city built just for them. The new £20 million (two-storey) ‘mini city’ is set up in Westfield London.

From the Aviation Academy to the TV Studio, Police Station or Hospital, the city streets of this ‘reality theme park’ are lined with real-life establishments. There are over 60 unique and exciting professions through real-life role-play adventures in a fun and safe environment. Children attending KidZania have the chance to earn KidZos and increase earning by taking courses and ultimately “graduating” from the KidZania University. Each role-play experience is crafted to teach children essential life skills including financial literacy, teamwork and independence.

Having welcomed over 38 million visitors worldwide, KidZania is a global phenomenon and one of the world’s fastest growing educational entertainment brands with 16 locations across five continents (including branches in Dubai, Bangkok and Tokyo). KidZania London is founded by entrepreneurs Joel Cadbury and Ollie Vigors, who have also been behind The Groucho Club, health club The Third Space and (the soon to open) Beaverbrook Golf Club - a luxury hotel and golf course on the estate (in Surrey) that was home to press baron Lord Beaverbrook.
