How it works

Right, here’s where you can find out how the city works and earn loads of kidZos! (KidZanian money).

When you get in to KidZania, you will find yourself at our British Airways Airport check-in area.

When you check in, you and your kids will each receive a security RFID bracelet. Kids also get 50 kidZos and a hairnet to wear underneath any hats or helmets inside the city. If your kids are aged 8 or above, you can check them in and pick them up at the end of their slot.

Once inside, all kids aged 4-14 can independently explore the city and take part in the activities they choose.

Activity durations range between 5 minutes and 50 minutes.

An average of 4 to 6 activities can be completed during your 4-hour visit depending on the activities you choose.

Take a look at our activities so your kids can prioritise and plan their day out to get the most from it!

See all activities

Outside each establishment there is information detailing the capacity, duration and the salary or charge of the activity. Some also have a suggested age for which it is suitable based on the content and skills required to get the most out of the experience, however all children aged 4-14 can still take part.

When your kids approach an activity, they must join the queue outside the establishment and wait for the next session. Be sure to follow the KidZania Queuing Laws when waiting for any activity.

To exercise independence for all the kids visiting KidZania, adults will not be allowed to enter the establishments

(Except for those wearing an awareness wristband)

If the activity charges kidZos to take part, kids will be asked to pay at the start. If it is a salaried activity, kids will be paid when they have completed the activity.

The kids’ RFID bracelet will be scanned at the beginning and end of each activity they take part in.

When your 4 hours is up your bracelets will deactivate which sadly means it’s time to leave KidZania.

Your kids can still spend their hard-earned kidZos at the Department Store inside the city to take away something to remember their visit, or even take their money home and use it on your next visit!

When exiting, head to the Immigration Office where your RFID bracelets will be removed and you will be checked out.

Children aged 8 or above that were dropped off must be met by the adult that checked them in before they can be checked out. You have 30 minutes at the end of the 4-hour visit where you can enter the city to meet your kids.
