KidZania (/kɪdˈzeɪniə/)[1] is a Mexican privately held international chain of indoor family entertainment centers currently operating in 30[2] locations worldwide, allowing children to role play adult jobs and earn currency.
[2] Every KidZania is themed as a child-sized replica of a real city, including buildings, shops and theaters, as well as vehicles and pedestrians moving along its streets.
Inside every KidZania facility around the world, children wear electronic bracelets that allow parents to keep track of their kids remotely.
[6] The currency symbol for the kidZo is a capital letter Z with two horizontal strokes across the middle,[7] which resembles the Ukrainian hryvnia sign (₴) but with sharp corners.
In August 2001, it was announced that López would lead La Ciudad de los Niños and establish locations in California, Mexico, and Spain.
[23] From 2011 to 2019, KidZania has been recognized as one of The Best Mexican Companies (Las Mejores Empresas Mexicanas), a recognition promoted by Banamex, Deloitte México and Tecnológico de Monterrey.
