How does KidZania Singapore work?
When you enter KidZania Singapore, you’ll quickly realise that staff run each activity, but the kids are meant to take charge. To ensure that kids get the most out of this experience by getting hands-on and learning new skills on their own, parents are not allowed to enter the activity stations apart from taking photos. As most activities take place behind glass doors, we were disconcerted yet intrigued about what the kids were learning at each station. The staff will often have to provide a lot of context and explanation prior to some activities, for example at the fire station and science lab.
Cash at KidZania Singapore
On entering KidZana Singapore, each child will receive some cash in the form of kidzos (the city’s currency), which they can take to the CIMB bank to deposit into their account and receive an ATM card. Kids will earn cash from each job they accomplish, then they will have to use their hard-earned kidzos to ‘pay’ for items at the KidZania Singapore shop or get their nails done at the beauty salon. This will help them learn the basic concept of money management and realise how quickly money disappears!
Although due to the pricing structure, be aware that at the end of your day your kid may not actually be able to afford what they want inside. Dollars are not accepted in the shop, so mama can’t help out if they are a few kidzos short. Not being able to afford something you want is a life lesson in itself, but it’s a hard one for a 4-year-old who has been ‘working’ for their kidzos all day!
KidZania Singapore Activities
Firefighting at KidZania Singapore
One of the highlights of KidZania Singapore is the opportunity for kids to be a firefighter. They can don firefighting suits and spray water to put out a pretend fire at the hotel.
They will even get to take a ride on a miniature firetruck that will leave kids beaming with delight!
Flying Simulator at KidZania Singapore
The first thing you’ll notice as you approach KidZania Singapore is the life-size Boeing 737 fuselage peeping out of the building, which will get even the most jaded kid intrigued about what’s inside. This is the fuselage of an actual Malaysian Airlines plane measuring over 25 metres long and is the only one of its kind in any of the 26 KidZania cities around the world. The cockpit inside, where kids can be a pilot on a state-of-the-art simulator, is one of the hot attractions. So, be sure to get there early to avoid a long wait!
Become a Dentist at KidZania Singapore
Kids will even get to become a dentist and learn all about how to keep their teeth clean, an important lesson for kiddos who’ve got a sweet tooth!
Be a Lab Scientist at KidZania Singapore
Curious kiddos can put on a lab coat to become a lab scientist at KidZania Singapore. They will get to swab bacteria from a table or a wall and take a peek under a real microscope to discover the shape of the bacteria they’ve retrieved! Plus, it serves as a good reminder that they should take care to ensure good hygiene.
Be a Radio DJ at KidZania Singapore
This one’s for the kids who love to talk! Step into a radio DJ booth and chat away to discover what it’s like to be a real radio DJ!
KidZania Singapore ‘Shops’
In the KidZania Singapore city there’s a department store, convenience store and beauty parlours for kids to spend their kidzos in (much to the delight of kids and the dismay of their parents)!
Sassy Mama Tips for KidZania Singapore
- Make sure your kid has a pocket to keep their credit card or money (or you can purchase the Kidzania lanyard).
- Go as soon as it opens (10am) to get the most out of your ticket. There is so much fun here it will keep kids busy all day (plus, you’ll need to factor in waiting times before each activity)!
- Most kids’ activities, like having a go as a Radio presenter or being a doctor at A&E, may take up to 25 minutes if it’s very crowded. Bring a good book and your camera. There is a parents’ lounge with wifi upstairs too.
- Factor in lots of queuing time for kids (hopefully less waiting the earlier you go) – at least 25 minutes but up to an hour or more for popular activities.
- There is nothing for your kids to do while they queue – come with a playdate for them so they have a partner in whine – sorry – crime.
- Some of the most attractive activities have a minimum height requirement of 1.30m like wall climbing at the School of Mountaineering.
- Safety is taken seriously here – kids and adults are given electronic linked safety tags.
Sassy Mama’s KidZania Singapore Review
There truly is no other experience similar to KidZania Singapore. Parents are literally forced to step back and allow their kids to take the lead, learn and explore for themselves (that means it’s time for your coffee break!). By stepping into the shoes of various jobs, kids get to learn important skills and life lessons like bravery as a firefighter, precision and focus as a pilot, problem-solving as a doctor and many more. Most importantly, they learn confidence, as they get to try their hand at various jobs and develop a ‘can do’ attitude!
So would we go again? The kid testers nod vigorously as an answer, but mama paying for the pricey tickets (which includes an adult ticket even though you can’t actually do anything) may have to think twice. But if you go for a full day or if your kids are 8 years old+ and can go by themselves, Kidzania offers an exhilarating and different day of entertainment.
