Kidzania is a new family entertainment center, a child-sized replica of a real city, with buildings, shops and theaters, as well as vehicles and pedestrians moving along its streets. In this city, children, aged 2 through 15, learn about the adult world, and the value of money and work, by experiencing up to 70 different professions.

Kidzania is the brainchild of Mexican entrepreneur Xavier López Ancona, chief executive of La Ciudad de los Niños. The first Kidzania opened in 1999 in Santa Fe Shopping Mall in Mexico City. The second opened in May in Monterrey, also in Mexico. The third Kidzania is located in Lalaport, Tokyo, Japan.

The newest Kidzania opened in November 2007 in Pacific Place, a new shopping mall in Jakarta, Indonesia. This is the first of its kind in South East Asia.

More are scheduled to open in Dubai and also in Seoul in 2008.
