Job related gifts - collection

Kidzania or Kidzmondo - Kids entertainment in Qatar

 Now that the second  theme park opened in Qatar focusing on role play  and educational entertainment  we parents  wonder what are the differences between the two  facilities .

These are my finds :

 Kidzmondo  for children between 2 and 14 years

 kids earn money that can spend there
 80 different professional role play
 simulate a profession and wear uniform for that job
 800 children can play inside
 location  at the Mall of Qatar - very far from most of the  residential area in Doha
   part of a mall  and totally closed area -no windows or sunshine - my personal observation
 no outside food is allowed
 you can buy food inside

  It's headquarters in Lebanon . They have branches in  some Arab countries  and they are going to open more .

 Prices :  for kids between age 1 year to 4  -  QR 90 + parent ticket  QR 90 = QR 180
               for kids between age 4 year to14 - QR  135 +  parent ticket  QR 90 = QR 225
               special needs children  QR 85

Personal notes :   one of my child described it " one of the happiest day of his life "  when at age 9 they visited this park with the school - children adore it , the role play gives them  self-confidence   .  Children can learn about the real life . A lots of kids can not afford this place - sadly ,it reflects  our world !  For us it is a birthday present category . But since our son grew bigger and understands  better the value of the money he refuses us to pay for it . He would be thrilled to go and play  but  at the same time  he does not feel comfortable knowing we have to spend so much .
You can stay all the day long  but after three hours playing  most kids gets exhausted .

             


Kidzania  for children between 4 and 14 years

kids earn money that can be spent there
60  different professional role play
indoor city of over 7,000 square meters
 they have 27 facilities all over the globe
Headquarters : Mexico-city
 Prices :  children under 120 cm must be accompanied by an adult
              Toddler (2-3 years) QAR 95
              Kid (4-16 years) QAR 160
              Adult (17-60 years) QAR 95

 My final view :  I think both places  offer wonderful  time for kids . Educational role playing is very important  for learning  and improving fantasy and it also gives emotional satisfaction . The Kidzania is newer in Qatar and not all the section is  open .  It is in Aspire Zone right behind Hyatt Plaza shopping center . Though it is possible to save money when you let your kids above certain age go without your supervision  I do not recommend it .These places are too big for children feel comfortable alone . They may feel lost quickly . And there are other kids . Not all of them are nice . Finally , it is so much better when one can share her experiences at once with a loved one !
