KidZania Singapore has reopened on 16 May 2024 at Sentosa’s Palawan Kidz City. The massive indoor theme park is a chance for kids to take on different jobs and earn “money” in the form of kidZos currency after completing the jobs. It is a great way for them to learn through play!
KidZania Singapore originally opened in 2016 before shuttering in 2020. Fortunately, Sim Leisure Group has revived it!

WEEKEND IDEAS: Get Inspirational Ideas of Things to Do
Designed as an all-in-one city just for children between 4 to 16, KidZania Singapore combines fun activities with realistic role-play in a fun world where kids get to pretend to be grown-ups.
Within KidZania Singapore, children can autonomously explore over tons of vocations while getting inspired, having fun, and learning at the same time.
Each hyper-realistic job experience is intended to empower children by inspiring them to be outstanding global citizens and providing them with the self-assurance to be their best selves.
KidZania Singapore is now at version 5.0 with new jobs that reflect today’s day and age.
There is over 7,600 square meters and more than 70 careers to try, kids can independently explore the kid-sized city and learn about the concept of making and managing money through various play roles.
Kids can role play as firemen rushing to get a blaze under control, confectioners who are making snacks and bubble tea, and little coders develop games. Or they can be Sustainability Engineers strategising the latest green solutions for the environment.
There are more than 40 branded establishments from homegrown brands to international brands.
The 41 partners at KidZania Singapore include Canadian 2-For-1 Pizza, CIMB Bank, H&M, Kiss 92FM, Kith Cafe, Kopi fellas, Parkway East, School of Robotics, Nikon Cameras, The Intan Peranakan, Singapore Police Force, Shopee, Sustenir Urban Farm and many others.
Amongst the newer role-playing jobs that KidZania Singapore has introduced with its reopening are those focused on the growing technology industry as well as the Environment, Sustainability and Green sector. These role-playing jobs include Programmer, Game Developer and Sustainability Engineer.
However, it is also great that the usual favourites like fireman, flight crew, crime scene investigator and even a docent at a Peranakan home museum have been retained.
After “working” at these places, kids earn currency known as kidZos which can then be saved in a bank or spent on anything from food and beverages to toys at the store
What to Expect at KidZania Singapore
The interior of KidZania Singapore is a mesmerising paradise for kids. Mini-versions of recognisable shops can be found on every corner.
There is a town square with statue and even a sports stadium and climbing challenge – all under a perpetual blue sky.
A mezzanine floor provides another vantage point to take in the activities below.
Welcome to KidZania Singapore
Each child entering KidZania is given kidZos – KidZania’s own currency. Kids are free to roam around town, trying out different jobs.
There is even a career counsellor in case they need some help deciding what jobs to do.
Participation in the activities will either earn them more kidZos or require them to spend kidZos.
In other words, KidZania has its own micro-economy – one where kids are placed in charge of managing their own finances.
They can even head over to CIMB Bank at the Town Square to do their banking.

KidZania Singapore Practical Information & Tips
To enter KidZania Singapore, for security purposes, kids and parents have to register their faces at the entrance first. Entry will be facilitated through biometric scanning. Also take note that all tickets are to be purchased online
You can also purchase a KidZania PaZZport for your child to join the CitiZenship Programme, which recognises his or her learning and progress as he or she experiences various activities. Their participation in activities is commemorated with a unique stamp in the PaZZport.
The more stamps, the more that kids will advance through the different levels of B. KidZanian: Naturalized CitiZen, Distinguished Citizen and Honorable CitiZen.
The KidZania PaZZport can also be used internationally.
You will find a sign outside each establishment that tells you more details about the establishment. This includes the suitable ages for the activity, expected duration and either how much it costs to do the activity or how much you will earn. There is also information about the values that kids will get to experience through the job.
Adults looking for respite from the whirlwind of activity can head up to the mezzanine floor’s Parents Lounge.
Younger children have a toddler’s zone located on the second floor.
There is also another play area, Urbano’s Atom Science Lab next to the toddler zone where younger kids can play.
When you do visit, be sure to say “Kai!” – KidZanian for “Hello” – two fingers in a V to the left chest – to those you meet and you are sure to have a great time!
You can also look out for parades held at the clock tower where you can join in the fun and dance along.
When you wish to spend the kidZos, head to the Department Store.
Or there is also a gift shop at the exit.
