After taking on jobs to earn dollars, they can then spend their dollars on services in the community.

Imagine a place where your children can freely explore a child-sized city where they can become firefighters, doctors, chefs or artists, and perform real-life tasks. Children learn many skills, gain self-knowledge and build self-confidence. Fueled by a child’s natural desire to explore, have fun, create, and collaborate, KidZania offers a progressive concept with exciting hands-on activities designed for children from 4 to 14 years old.
Children can spend the money they have earned in the department store, or on experiences and activities within the community. To earn money, there are more than 50 jobs to choose from.

Here’s what you need to know before you visit Kidzania Kuala Lumpur:
Book your tickets online. To save time at the door, also scan your face for the facial recognition before you arrive. If you don’t you’ll have to navigate your way through the tickets. We purchased our Kidzania tickets through Klook and saved 10% off of the admission price.
Be prepared for noise. Like a regular city - it can be loud. Bring earplugs if you or your child is sensitive to noise. There are constant sirens, loud music and lots of action - just like in a real city. The parents lounge, a no-kids zone and is still quite noisy.
Payment. There are card payments and ATMs on site but if you are visiting with multiple children and cannot be in three places at once, bring cash to give to the children to pay for their own experience - if they don’t have access to card or mobile payments.
Passes are valid All-day. This means that you can leave to grab a cheap lunch from IKEA or McDonalds, steps away from Kidzania. We suggest arriving first thing in the morning.

Reserve Your time slot for popular jobs like Ambulance or Fire Crew. You won’t need to reserve too, too far in advance - but it will make your day run smoother if you do reserve these experiences in advance.

Put out a fire as a Firefighter. This is one of the most exciting parts of the experience where children can ride on firetrucks to help put out a fire, working collaboratively with police officers to cordon off the area.

Shop at the Department store. Children can spend the money they earned to redeem for toys and small items at a department store. Visit early on in the trip (find it on the second floor) to get an idea of how much money they will have to earn during their experience to buy their preferred items.
Is Kidzania Kuala Lumpur worth the cost?
