KidZania Manila is all set to bring the ultimate and interactive role playing experience in a kid-sized city for children aged 3-14 years old this early 2015 at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines.
I know most of you are eagerly excited as I am to let your kids explore this real-life indoor play city where they can learn through personal experience, ignite their imagination and freely choose any role they want to be – whether they aspire to be a pilot, baker, firefighter, newscaster, policeman, etc. And, to make this experience as authentic as possible, over 40 of the country’s most respected brands have signed up as KidZania’s Industry Partner.
Last January 29, 2015, KidZania Manila introduced and paid tribute to its Industry Partners in a presentation hosted by Ms. Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan held at the Hotel Intercontinental Manila. Gracing the event were over 100 officials representing the different Industry Partners, media and other guests.
“Our Industry Partners contribute significantly to make the KidZania Manila experience as authentic and meaningful as possible for the children who will visit our play city.”—- Ms. Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas, State Governor for KidZania Philippines.

Holy moly! That sounds like any kids dream to play there.
Yes, this will be a dream come true for kids.
How cool is this place.. kids need a place to go and this would be it.
Definitely, a place for kids. I hope there was a place like this when we were younger. =)
Looks like a fun time – great pictures!! 🙂
This place looks so cool! My kids would love it, and I’ve never even heard of it before. I’m looking forward to reading the update when it opens!
Hi! I’ll definitely update everyone regarding the opening.
What a massive project. It’s going to be absolutely incredible when completed.
It’s almost completed. The project will officially open to public this summer.
this sounds like an awesome place for people to visit! Thanks for sharing!
Unfortunately, this place is only for kids. Too bad for us adults…
Providing a safe place for the kids to play is a wonderful initiative. And it’s right at the heart and soul of every parent too. 🙂
I hope there will be more places like this that will ignite children’s minds about their future.
Wow this so cool! I wish we had something like this in Chicago. The kids are going to have a blast.
That’s awesome. I haven’t been to KidZania I bet it’s a fun-filled place.
That sounds like the neatest place ever!! Awesome!
This looks like it will be an incredible place for kids. We used to have something similar in Ft. Lauderdale but not quite as large scale as this.
This looks like the coolest place ever! What an awesome concept!
That’s awesome. I love that they teach them how to file their taxes. Lol! I could have used some help this year. This sound great. What wonderful things to teach our children.
The best place for children since they’ll learn the real meaning of responsibility.
Whoa, this looks amazing!
Wow, the designs for Kidzania look spectacular. They have dedicated a lot of space to creating this attraction for the younger crowd. Very cool activities for them too!
Wow! This sounds like so much fun! I am sure they could find a way to even make this play therapeutic! Thanks for sharing!
It sounds like a great place for kids to gather and have fun while learning. I really love the idea.
