<p><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.kidzania.jp/about/e_index.html">KidZania</a> offers role-playing activities to kids by blending entertainment with education. <a href="http://www.kidzania.jp/about/e_index.html">KidZania</a> is small replica of a city where you can find buildings, offices, petrol pump, hospitals, fire stations, pizza shop, burger shop, food R&amp;D lab, Airport etc. Kids can choose their own profession. They will get paid for the work they have done. Before entering they get 50 kidzo traveller's cheques, list of work places. Places are marked with +Z or -Z sign. At any place with sign +Z sign, they will get paid for the work they have done. As you can guess, place with -Z sign will lighten their pockets. We had to bring small bags to to keep our money. We get a card while we get our money. We also get maps so children can locate their way. Leave your your kids on their own for one day, let them select what they want to do. We were so surprised when our kids were choosing the places where there is +Z sign !!! After earning money they can take it back with them and use it again next time or they can open bank account and deposit it. They can withdraw it with ATM card and use them in the next visit. First kids went to Johnson &amp; Johnson and selected <a href="http://www.learnbysample.com/photo/indira/2007/indira-kidzania-2007-july-04.jpg">nursery</a>. They learned how to clean babies. Next role was of a cameraman. They were given a real SLR camera to take photos. They could print one of those photos. They were hungry so they chose to work at Pizza shop. They made their own pizza and enjoyed eating it.</span></p>
