Kidzania Bangkok is a learning and role-playing center for kids in Bangkok. Located on the 5th floor of Siam Paragon, it appears to be a cute mini-town with pretty European-style houses below painted skies – which it is. But beyond the well-executed craftsmanship, Kidzania Bangkok offers a much deeper level of education for children between 4 and 14 years old.

What to do at Kidzania Bangkok

The range of learning experiences is also unique – there are up to 80 different jobs to choose from. The little ones can learn how to be a real dentist, fly a Boeing 737, and even fight a hotel fire with real water and ride a tiny fire truck to reach the scene. They can also practice rescuing people, using a small ambulance to bring them to a mini-hospital. Everything is very realistic, just smaller.

Each activity at Kidzania Bangkok can accommodate small groups of 6 to 8 kids, without the parents’ participation. It's a real kid's world, so mom and dad are just allowed to witness the operation and possibly take some photos. The whole thing is really well thought out, with a large lobby offering cakes, coffees and computers for parents so the kids can finally play freely.

The kids earn 'KidZos' money by doing these mini-jobs and can even open a bank account at a small-scale CIMB bank. This money is kept there for the kids to buy gifts at the souvenir shop on the way out.
