hard and learn to save a few bucks. but these lessons are among the most difficult to teach.enter kidzania, an internationally praised and truly unique childrens theme park, that makes life a little easier for parents.kidzania is not a traditional theme park in almost any sense of the word there are no roller coasters or merry-go-rounds in sight. there are, however, plenty of attractions and activities that will keep children busy, active, engaged and excited all day.what makes it so much fun is that its a kid-sized city complete with restaurants, banks, grocery stores and hospitals where the kids get to be adults, doing the things most of us do on any normal day.they start by picking one of nearly 100 “careers” and learning about it. then, they put on their uniform and are ready to work and earn kidzania dollars (“kidzos”).most activities are universal but some are localized to reflect the distinct flavors and personality of the country and region where the park is located and to keep it real for the kids.kids get paid for every job they do, which helps them explore the mysteries of managing money. kidzos in hand, they can spend it or save it. if they run short of money, theyll have to find a way to earn some.each kidzania city is planned in amazing detail, even including real world brands that help sponsor the city and keep it running. i was a littlewaryof all the popular corporate logos, but the brands werent pushed at all. they are there to reinforce the “real city” feeling by mixing it with things kids recognize.kidzania employs senior citizens who give the park a homey feel and help put children at ease. management also employs the disabled, whether blind, deaf or wheelchair-bound. besides making for a more realistic city, this teaches children about those with different abilities and gives them an opportunity to spend time with people they might otherwise have stared at or treated less than kindly.socialization is an important part of kidzania, just as it is throughout childhood. the kidzania experience empowers kids, giving them the confidence to be their best selves, and the inspiration to be great global citizens. and its part of what makes kidzania such an amazing place for families and children.59. kidzania is unique in that _.a. it has no entertainment facilitiesb. it includes lots of localized activitiesc. it offers kids
