It was amazing. My favorite was the avocado one where you could smash some avocados and make Guacamole, amazing place. I recommend it. read more

It really feels like checking into a whole little city which is such a neat and creative concept for kids! I haven't seen anything quite like it. Everything is so well thought out: there are eateries where kids can make their own pizza or learn how yogurt is made (and then enjoy it!), a gym, pest control station, bank, fire station, theatre, news set, Spotify recording studio, flight simulator, the list truly goes on. How cute is it to "check in" at an airport security line? I absolutely loved that concept as it was both a clever and immersive touch! However I'd like to think it was meant to function as a real security checkpoint as well, but I did notice that even when alarms went off, people weren't actually checked. Entering a place full of kids, that was a bit concerning. It's a great idea, but I hope they take that extra step to ensure it's not just for show and that safety is truly prioritized. I also appreciated that it wasn't overly crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more enjoyable. From chatting with others, it sounds like that's not always the case, and I can imagine it would feel overwhelming if it were packed. That said, I do wish more of the "establishments" and activities had been open. It seemed extremely short-staffed, and quite a few areas were closed or without staff to guide the kids. I would've loved to see the theatre in use, the taco stands open, and the upstairs space available -all of those plus many others were closed during our visit. For the activities that were open, the staff seemed stretched thin and outnumbered by the children. There really needs to be a better system for timing and scheduling. Maybe a sign-up or reservation system for each activity would help -- running from line to line only to be told it's full (or canceled) gets frustrating. I think that's what the Fast Passes were meant for, but even then, breaking up groups that had already been waiting together felt inconvenient. Allowing everyone to reserve activity times would make for a smoother, more enjoyable experience for guests and staff alike. The wristbands were a great idea, definitely appreciated and necessary. They keep parents and kids honest about ages and ensure kids only join age-appropriate activities. They also track their "earnings" and likely serve as a security measure too, which I loved. However, with the short staffing, there needs to be a better process for scanning them in and out of each area. Waiting for scans, especially on the way out, delayed us from getting to our next scheduled activity several times. The adults only IKEA inspired lounge was a nice touch for those with slightly older children who can run around more independently. For the age group I was with, and given how unorganized the staff and session timings were, there was no way we could've left their side but I can definitely see that space being a great perk for other adults. This is what I could understand adults being charged for, outside of being able to simply get away with it as you can't and wouldn't send your children in unattended, I don't understand adult entrance fees. Other than it being a deterrent for those who do not have children to enter with. It would also be nice for maybe an informative video before entering to make kids aware of "earning" and what deducts from their total points, what's available to do, etc. almost like a "briefing before heading into the city" It's a fun and clever concept overall, but I think a few operational, staffing, and security improvements could make it truly exceptional. No photos to post as they include children. I didn't think to take photos of all of the empty, non operating areas. But again, it's truly its own little city with a variety of places. read more

We came here for my daughter's field trip and had such high hopes for this place since we were going to be the only school here. Wrong very wrong. Our school is large and we had a whole bunch of groups, this place was not prepared staff wise. None of the places opened inside for over an hour of being there so groups were lined up at two locations. The kids spent most of the day walking around or waiting in line. Once the other places opened only like 5 opened up. There was nothing to do kids were getting restless and overall it was a terrible experience. The concept is great but the lack of staff that day to actually make the experience great really fell short. You knew a school was going to be there, so prepare for that. read more

KidZania - Kids Activities Near Me - Frisco, Texas

KidZania is extremely expensive especially since you have to pay for the adults as well. Kids get to hop around to different occupations to try their hands at different vocations. There are a limited amount of seats so you have to wait in line for some of the more popular careers. Each session is about 15-20 minutes long. You can do anything from being a musician to a firefighter to a podcaster. You can earn "money" doing some jobs (i.e. Veterinarian, Hair Stylist, Athlete), but you have to pay for others (i.e. Pilot, Chef, Baker). I would recommend this place for kids between the ages of 6 and 12 years old. If you have any money left, you can purchase prizes like candies and toys. The prize shop isn't worth going to unless you have racked up a lot of money over several visits to KidZania. The food court is tiny as the only options were pizza or popcorn. The taco shop was closed when we went. If you want the kids to learn how to make pizza, you have to pay extra for that (~$12). Basically, kids run around and have fun while parents wait idly until they're done "working." If the parents don't get to participate, why make them pay so much? read more

Extremely Disappointing - Do Not Waste Your Time or Money Extremely Disappointing - Do Not Waste Your Time or Money This was one of the worst experiences we have had at a children's attraction. We drove 4.5 hours to visit the KidZania Dallas location and paid for first-class admission, expecting a full experience. Instead, the facility appeared severely understaffed and poorly managed. When we arrived, there was no organized system for managing the line. No staff directing guests, no clear order of entry, and complete confusion about who should be served first. Despite already being in line, we waited over 1.5 hours just to receive wristbands. To make matters worse, they refused to honor the military discount, even though we were already waiting in line. Once inside, the problems continued: * At least 15 activity stations were closed * Many stations had no staff available to run them * The pizza-making activity was unavailable because there was no employee to operate it * For an all-day ticket, my children were only able to participate in about five activities For the price being charged, this is completely unacceptable. If the facility does not have enough employees to operate the experience, management should: * Limit entry to reservations only * Offer discounted admission when large portions are closed * Communicate operational issues before guests arrive * Or close for the day instead of charging families full price We have visited KidZania Dubai, and the difference is night and day. That location is fully staffed, organized, and delivers the experience the brand promises. The Dallas location does not come close. This location needs serious management improvements or better staffing incentives to ensure employees show up and the facility actually operates. Until that happens, I cannot recommend KidZania Dallas. Families should not spend hundreds of dollars for an experience where most activities are closed. Save your time and money. read more

Its a cool concept with poor execution. They definitely need to hire more people. The Turner Construction Site is the main draw, but was closed both times we came. The lack of staff means there are really really long wait times for the few available activities. Really overpriced, even with a 20% off code. read more

KidZania - The eternally closed activity. Such a bummer. - Kids Activities Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Not worth it for the price. Everything is a long wait. Most of the experiences weren't open and those that were had lines with very limited capacity for the number of kids there on an early Friday afternoon. Took us over 30 minutes just to get through the line to enter even with pre-paid online tickets. The facilitators for each activity/experience clearly didn't look like they wanted to be there either as there was varied levels of enthusiasm with most just going through the motions. The food stations had long slow lines too. We were 2.5 hours in and only got to do 2 activities. Rest of the time is waiting and walking around. read more

This was an experience! My daughter is 6 and she loved our visit. We didn't know what all to truly expect. I will say that we are thankful for the guide that we ran into soon as we entered as they gave us a full run down on how to operate and maximize our time. I note this because I noticed that there were other parents who weren't privy to this information like start times of experiences and the concept of money, which I think could've affected their experience. We went on a Saturday so it was very busy. None the less i highly recommend parents to take their children especially 6+ as there is much for them to experience read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars, but unfortunately I cannot. Very cute concept and the kids seemed to really like it. Went on a field trip which included our school and 2 other schools. Check in process was smooth and quick. Once inside the kids are free to go to any job. Most of the jobs were closed which really sucked. The main attraction is the airport and it was closed. There were a handful of jobs open, causing long wait times. This is not a playground and the staff takes their time to teach the job and allow the kids to perform the job which is so cool. Tips: Bring cash! They give the kids money to start the jobs. Some jobs you earn money and some attractions you pay to play with the fake money. However, you have to have cash for 7 Eleven and Pie Five, not sure about the places that were not open. Advice: Hire more staff, make sure majority of the attractions are available, especially the airport. Cut down the time for the jobs to make lines go faster. Make sure people are getting their monies worth. Had I paid to go here, I'd ask for a refund. Will I go back? Absolutely! And would hope that more jobs are open. Closed jobs/attractions: Airport, construction site, Colgate, Fashion Studio, Bakery, Pie Five, Planet Fitness, Police Station, Bank, Passport Office, Zecret Intelligence Agency, Happy Taco, Jam Session, Art Studio, Theater, Corner Store. I'm sure I missed a few. read more

This place is a complete rip off, a waste of time and money. There are different stations for kids. Restaurants, dental office hospital, podcast, pet store, etc. Your entrance fee buys the kid some "z" dollars. Some stations cost money to enter, others the kids earn money. The problem is that lines are long so you wait for 30-45 minutes to get in. Then the kids listen to presentations. There is little actual physical activity. Kids can only do a couple of those and then they are bored or tired. They let in too few kids per group and presentations are too long. It took us a while to figure out what to do. There are no instructions and the whole thing is very poorly organized. It was not cheap, over $100 for 2 adults and a child to stand in lines. We got the cheapest admission. Plus, the bracelet you need to enter is $7 extra per person, not included in admission price. It's like buying an airline ticket that does not include a seat. The cheapest kid admission is $48. Adults are $15. Plus the $21 for bracelets to enter, and everything is taxed. It is not worth it. The only way that this place makes financial sense is if you do lots and lots of stops, but you can't because lines are so long. We were here for about 3.5 hours and did four activities. I would not recommend this place and wish we had saved our money. Complete disappointment and waste of money. There are very few activities for kids that I dislike. I strongly dislike this place. The wife agreed that it little more than a money making machine. The entire model needs to be re-thought. Presentations are way too long. They need to be shorter so people do not stand in long so long. As is, the model is constructed to make money, not to make a pleasant experience for customers. read more

This place has really gone downhill in the past year or so. Many of the experiences are closed, and the ones that are open do not take groups back to back, which means that kids are waiting even longer than before to get in. The staff seems so nonchalant, tired, and sometimes rude. Fountain drink machines are constantly broken. Nothing else to eat but pizza, and unfortunately you are not allowed to bring your own food. I have already cancelled my membership. Something needs to be done STAT. read more

This place could be a really fun place for kiddos... Unfortunately, they have limited numbers on each of the rides due to lack of staff. Lines are long, for example, we have been here for two hours and are still in line for our second ride. There is no flexibility for allowing families to stay together if several children split the ride capacity. Just hire a few more people and make this the experience it should be. Not sure I would return even though it's a great concept and the rides themselves are extremely fun for the kiddos read more

Overall kids had fun. We went Friday PM. Some summer camps there but overall wait is not too bad . Some has availability right away. Some we have to wait for 15-20 mins. Kids did maybe 8 activities and we have time to do 2 more , but they were done . Some activities cost money, for example bakery . pizza making is $12 per person. Yogurt making is for highest kind of ticket only, unless there is space . I would say it's best for 4-8 year old . Some of them are too childish for 10 year old . read more

It's one of those places you want to visit just once. Took my kids and the cost to get in is high, $49.95 for children (ages 4-14), $16.95 for toddlers (ages 2-3), and $16.95 for adults, with babies under 2 getting in free. And they limit the activities on age so ages 5 and below doesn't have much to do given this isn't a free play place. After going with my 6yr and 4yr I would say this place is more suited for 8-12yr. If this had a free play experience then the younger kids would have more fun. We spent more time walking around trying to find the next location of the next scheduled class than actually doing anything. Once we found the class the lines were so long we had to go find something else to do as the classes only take a few kids at a time and are scheduled and the next time the class will be open could be hours. So not being able to do most of the activities wasn't something I'd care to go back to. My kids got tired of walking around mostly watching other kids play so we left. https://schedule.kidzaniausa.com/ https://dallas.kidzaniausa.com/kidzaniaguide#Map read more

We had a decent experience at KidZania Dallas, but there were a few areas that could use improvement. My child is 4 years old and still needs some assistance with tasks like handwashing. During the pizza and yogurt activities, the instructors didn't step in to help her, and I had to go in myself to assist. Some of the sinks also weren't working properly due to sensor issues, which made things more difficult. At check-in, we were told to skip the main line and head straight to the scanning station. While that helped speed things up, it would've been really helpful to have a greeter or staff member inside to guide us on what to do or where to go next--especially for first-time visitors. With a little more staff engagement and clearer direction, the experience could've been much smoother. read more

As everyone has said it's a great concept. This is probably better for someone who lives locally and gets a pass so they can come back and explore all the options. It is pricey and it's silly that they charge for the parent to take up space waiting around for the kids. Definitely better suited for 6 and up and better for kids to go with friends so they have someone to hang out with. They really could make this place more organized. Since actives are scheduled and limited in number of kids, they could have it organized so kids could do an scheduled tour and make the most out of time. As many people mentioned, you waste a lot of time waiting around in lines for the activity. For three hours we did two jobs. We also ate and opened a bank account. The kids had fun but it was definitely a special occasion event to spend so much on such a short activity. read more

Kidzania was one of the things we were really looking forward to on our weekend in Frisco and we stopped in at the 2PM slot. I really do love the concept on what they are trying to do here, but frankly most of the time we spent there (nearly 3 hours) was spent waiting. I had in mind that many of the shops/stations would be more of what you see at some kids museums where kids can quickly experience the setting before moving to the next one. With most of the stations taking 6-8 kids and the duration lasting 15-25 minutes, and aren't staggered, so you and your little ones will spend quite a lot of time waiting. Not to say we didn't have fun! Our little one did enjoy the fire station and it makes sense for a station like that to have a wait time. That said, I just wish they had other stations/things to do that were more like games that were more fluid to break up the monotony of getting in line to wait at another station as even our little one was getting bored. So I don't if we would try out Kidzania again, I just don't feel like we actually were able to do much in the span of 3 hours for the price, given that it wasn't that busy. read more

So I want to start by mentioning that I have been to the KidZania located in Bangkok, Thailand with my niece about 10 years ago and it was AMAZING. The concept of this place is beyond cute and something I would have loved to do as a child so I wanted my 6 year old son to enjoy it. It's a small kid-sized city where the littles are able to engage in different career choices to earn money then they can use that money to pay for certain activities or prizes. I didn't expect the experience to be quite the same (USA v Asia) but there's definitely some lacking that should be brought to attention. The biggest issue I had with this place was the attitude amongst majority of the staff (there were a couple of fun ones), you can tell just how much they don't want to be there or deal with children. Couple this with the fact that not all job sites are open and the wait time for certain activities can be 30+ minutes which is an eternity to elementary school aged children (lol), it is an okay play place but it doesn't warrant more than a 3-star rating IMO. If you have the money (it's quite costly), I would say it's worth a go because watching my baby pretend to be a newscaster, dentist, surgeon, chef, and more was worth it to me. I'd love if the staffing could be improved upon and I would happily increase my rating. TIP: Get your money's worth by going from open-close. read more

I wanted to give it a four but the long waits for some options and the semi-high price for mediocre activities earned it a three. I will say it's best to have more than one child join since only kids do the activities and adults just watch. They may want another kid to interact with. As for the adults, get your walking shoes and standing legs ready. There's few benches next to the activities the kids are doing. So you're standing idle 10-15-20 min at a time. And you probably need about 2-3 hours to get through it all. Do a quick walk around to view your options bc the kidzania bucks get you 3-5 activities. So you want to be careful about how you spend it. read more

A 1 star because I can't pick zero. We purchased tickets prior to arriving at Kidzania for my oldest boy's birthday and upon arrival signed up for the 12:30pm pizza making activity, one activity that you have to sign up for in advance. We arrived inside the complex at 11:58am and proceeded to the bank to deposit the money for all 3 kids. It was approximately 12:15pm when we finished at the bank and then proceeded to the pizza making station. Each activity takes approximately 15mins to complete and we didn't want to miss our time slot. We stood outside and waited until 12:45 before I asked a worker why the activity had not begun yet. They responded that the pizza machine was being repaired and the activity would start soon. Fast forward to 1:30pm, I asked the same question with the same response. I then asked if I could reschedule for a later time so we could go do other activities in the meantime, which she said yes. After that took my daughter to one activity (1:47pm) and then my oldest son to walk to go do some of the things he wanted to do. To our surprise, every activity that he was looking forward to doing was closed; rock climbing, flight simulator, and the course you need a harness on. He was extremely disappointed and was ready to leave. We also could not find any of the activities open that my youngest son wanted to participate. When my daughter's activity was over at 2pm, we proceeded to the exit and asked for a refund. I told him all of the above and explained a non-refund policy, offered a different day for tickets, and stated "you should have come on Saturday when we have more staff. Most of our employees are high school students who are only available on the weekend or school breaks." This is not expressed in their policy or prior to ticket purchase that anything during the week will be massively understaffed. I explained that we live over 4 hours away and this was a special birthday trip. Having to come back on a different day would include extra added costs of hotels rooms, gas, etc. I then proceeded to issue a chargeback on my credit card. This is the first time I have ever issued a dispute in the 16 years of being with the credit card company. Kidzania issued a statement that said all activities were available during the entirety of the day, they mentioned nothing of understaffing or pizza maker repairs and did not document it either. Then only thing they supplied was our time in/time out and the one activity that my daughter did while we discovered that the majority of the activities were closed. Because my daughter participated in the one activity they stated that "This confirms that services were accessible and used during the visit. The group otherwise chose not to participate in additional activities that were inside the facility." And with that the dispute was denied. WE WILL NOT BE BACK AND I URGE ANYONE READING THIS TO AVOID THIS SCAM OF A PLACE. read more

Kids review from a 8 and 7 year old: it was pretty boring. The workers weren't helpful, we waited really long time for every thing. The prizes were lame, there wasn't anything we wanted Parents review: horrendous execution. Wait in line, but not given wristbands, back in line, get wristbands but the employee forgot to give the money- back in line. Zero explanation how anything works. So here's how it works: purchase an overpriced ticket- yes even for parents who are just standing around because there is no where to sit near your kids. Stand in a line- each line lasts AT LEAST 20 minutes, then the activity for 4+ lasts another 20 minutes. Get money for doing "jobs." Spend money at the end in the department store, mind you ONE smarties candy may be all you can afford after 4 hours of work. Now here's where explanation helps which the staff can't seem to manage- if you have an under 4 and over 4 children- they can't do any activities together. There is a toddler time and then a children's time slot. The staff's solution: stay with the toddler and let your other child go around by themselves because it's an enclosed space. That's what one employee said. This is not an enclosed space- you have direct access to the mall, so many places to hide + an upstairs. You are not finding your 4 year old quickly. So you will be stuck waiting for the children's timeslot and the toddler one. Not all activities are open, many were closed due to staffing. There is only about 4-8 kids that will be allowed in at a time. The activities don't start one after another for the age requirements- for example, 4:00 may be the wait time for 4-12 and then 4:30 is the wait time for under 4. Scan the QR code for the wait times and open activities But my advice is don't get. It's so expensive, poorly staffed, poorly executed. Kids were on their phone and complaining, parents were complaining. read more

My kids give this place 1 million stars. They had an amazing time. We did a three day "season pass" (3 visits in 90 days). We did 3 visits in 5 days and they would have gone all 5 days if they could have. It's a really impressive concept and I loved that they could really have some independence and navigate themselves. I would say that 6-11 is probably the best age for this experience. People with toddlers might not feel like they were able to get their moneys worth and probably why there are some negative reviews on here. Also, this is a complex operation to run but I feel like a lot of the complaints in reviews have been largely mitigated. All in all my kids had the time of their lives and there's a parent lounge where you can sit and get some work done or relax while the kids go wild. Thanks Kidzania for such a fun experience!!! read more

The best time to visit is early in the morning right when they open. Take some time to learn the layout--it really takes a few trips to see and do everything. It gets absolutely crazy busy as the day goes on. The setup is cool, but the long lines can make it less enjoyable. It's a great concept, but for us, it was a one-and-done experience! read more

Ok, this place is amazing. I was so skeptical because of the price and it's being in a mall, but I so wish something like this had existed when I was a kid. First, you enter through a mini airport that is very realistic, getting your tickets at the check in desk from an attendant and going through security. You'll also eventually exit similarly, through Departures, where they scan each exiting person's wristband, so no fears of your kid escaping alone! The inside is a kid-sized city full of tall buildings and every business a kid could dream of. A hospital with an MRI, NIcu, nursery, surgery room and ambulance, a vet, a hair salon, a fashion show, a theatre, an eye doctor, a dentist, pest control, a firetruck, chocolate factory, guac shop, bakery, flight school, recycling center, construction site, news station, media center, influencer photoshoot, sports recovery center, police station/forensic science center, and so many more I truly can't remember. It's all laid out in a street grid intermixed with cafés for food and drink stops. We were there for more than four hours and still had plenty left undone for another day! Each kid is given 50 "dollars" at the start and they can either earn or spend money at each location. If they attend kidzania college they get a degree, which allows them to earn more. And don't worry about going broke...it would be pretty hard for a kid to run out of those fifty bucks, and they can always earn more. Many of the locations leave them with an extra food item or treat to eat, which really helps the value of the entry fee feel worth it. There is a map and a schedule posted in several places and also online with a running list of when activities are next expected to start. Your kid heads to the desired building and waits outside to be let in for the next shift. We went on a Wed around noon and only had to wait for one or two activities, all the rest we were able to get in quickly with the next group. I was worried it would be crowded, but there were many times our group was the only one in a location! Parents, note that you're required to wait outside the "shops" during activities, but you're able to see very easily what's going on through the windows. There is one or more staff running each activity and the spots are limited to manageable sizes. Our kids (ages 9, 8, 7, and 4) had a blast, though the four year old needed assistance at times, which staff were pretty great about. Still, we were there for four hours and they each did 6-9 activities. The downsides: I really wish someone had explained the schedule/map when we entered, because we started out just interrupting tons of activities by opening doors because the signs outside weren't displaying correct information. Parents have to pay to get in, and don't have much to do. If you're a parent who loves to watch your kid enjoying themself, you'll have fun. If not, you might get bored, though there is a nice parent's lounge upstairs that had tvs and a couple sleeping parents in it. The shop where kids can spend their "money" at the end needs more options, but the staff member inside was very kind about helping find the right items. Overall, the staff members were excellent at their jobs, though there was one guy in the hair salon at the beginning who seemed only interested in getting off his shift. The other 95% of them were fantastic. If you have a kid who is super shy or clingy, they may have trouble here, since parents need to wait outside (in sight, but not in hearing). If you have an especially active one, they may have trouble participating in the more calm activities, but staff may also be trained for this and I just didn't experience it. Overall, if you have the money to go, I would highly recommend it. It's a one-of-a-kind experience. read more

his place is so cool and extremely educational. I wish this was throughout the US instead of just in Dallas, as we were visiting for a family reunion and won't be back for quite some time. My only caveat would be to allow for wiggle room for age groups because my son is advanced and was turned away from activities that were for 6+ and he's 4 and could very well understand and take instructions the same as a 6 year old could. Not all age groups are the same level. read more

Overpriced capitalist trash. I mean it is a cool concept but piss poor execution. First off, insanely expensive. Six flags is cheaper. Second, your kid is going to wait in line a lot. If your kid gets bored, too bad, you have to wait at least 30-45 minutes for everything. read more

We enjoyed seeing my 6 year old granddaughter go around to all the different "jobs" her favorite was the dental office. Luckily they had an area for my 19 month old grandson. I liked the fact that we were able to leave and go into the mall for lunch and then return (not sure if we payed extra for that ability). I thought it was cool that once my granddaughter was paid at the different jobs she went into "the bank" and made a deposit and received a debit card. Lots of little lessons. read more

Understaffed (long lines) dirty ( trash, bottles) and not one employee can contact anyone else if there's an issue. You will have to make your way up to the front so that they can send a manager to assist. No internal communication. Two lines buy at location or on line and the online tickets you still have to check in at the kios. The rock wall and the steel structure are not managed correctly making the lines way longer than expected.

KidZania - Trash is everywhere - Kids Activities Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Kidzania was enjoyed by my kids, they only had a couple negative responses. Their POV: One is they wish kids could be removed if they are interfering with everyone else having fun and learning. They said like classroom warnings. You're asked, then told and then removed. My POV: There were just a couple of terribly behaved children who took away from the groups experience. Paying $300 to have fun then the fun is ruined by some horribly behaved child is not fun. Maybe some basic behavior rules. Their POV: Two some of the timing for activities were a little longer and then some of them you didn't need to wait as long but no one was there. My POV: Team members were all having to switch since there were not enough to cover all the areas. Which is understandable when you have a place that big, you should overstaff for holiday breaks. When there is a holiday or kids are out of school the hours should differ to provide the opportunity to experience more in one day. As far as operations, whoever was in charge of vendor relations needs way more experience in handling inventory calculations for food and beverage for dates where kids our out of school and potentially more customers will be visiting! My daughter having a food allergy already makes going to places that don't allow food very tough however majority of these places understand a child's dietary needs and allow us to bring her own food. I feel as though this facility is not friendly to those children who do have any type of dietary sensitivities. Pie five was out of drinks and a safe pizza for her to eat. The bakery ran out of water bottles and had no carbonation in the fountain drinks purchased. They had no hot drinks. Nothing was set up or prepared for opening time. The individual in charge of this aspect definitely needs retraining. read more

Glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews. I can't imagine what these people are thinking. We arrived at noon on Sunday and didn't face lines or wait time. I'll admit we were confused as to what to do but I asked a person in the sports med clinic and she had me scan a QR code. We were off to lots of fun! This place is amazing with so many choices for interests and ages. We did logo making, modeling, tv studio, hair dressing and bicycle repair. Each event was well run and offered a grand finale to show off skills. Honestly all I can think is the people whining are rich spoiled brats. This place is educational, fun, geared to individual interests and can fill the whole day. Ages I took were 8, 9 and 10. I'm a 22 year veteran teacher and will return read more

my name is Jo Ann Cheatham. My husband Frank and I took our 7 and 9 year old granddaughters here for the first time yesterday . We ALL had the most exciting day and I attribute that to the great employees and the interesting atmosphere. Dominique and Saad, were 2 of the MANY employees who treated my little ones so kindly. It was our first time to visit . We plan on visiting again soon read more

What an amazing idea! Super interactive KidCity, well put together, kids learn a lot about different professions and even earn money! They can responsibly spend money on fun attractions. Staff are friendly, patient, and very educated on their Job. I wish they had 2 to 3 day pass options because it's impossible to see and do everything in one day. Definitely be back. read more

KidZania USA was such a fun experience. I came for a friend's child birthday party. I was amazed at this place. KidZania is little city where kids can select a profession. They have banks, fitness studios, hair salons, and so much more. They even have a plane for the kids to go in. Honestly, I wish I was a kid to do all the cool things at this place. Fair warning this place is loud with the fire truck and ambulance rides. It was the coolest thing to see the kids spray water on a burning building. It really was a huge show that was fun to watch. I will say this is definitely an entertaining place to go if you want an option outside of amusement parks for kids. read more

Went down hill. Two years ago all the businesses ran back to back sessions. Now some businesses don't open at all on Fridays. Each one only opened once every 1-2 hours. Saturday was a bit better, but still, not everything was opened at all times. They should shorten the sessions from 20 min to 10, so more kids can experience each activity. Sometimes the sessions started late, technology was glitchy, and employees couldn't improvise so the sessions would take 30 min (after starting 15 min late). (Cassey was one awesome employee and who knew how to improvise and give kids a good experience.) The Taco shop no longer runs. The bakery only runs on weekends. Only pizza available to eat on Fridays. They were out of chips for two straight days for the guacamole making station. The water station for the fire has been out of service for over a year. Half the flight simulators aren't working, so they only take 4 kids per hour. Prizes are very very scarce to redeem money. Lots of inexperienced employees....some of them are a bit rude. Great concept. Kids liked it, but it took 2 full days to do everything they wanted due to the lack of staff. When it first opened it was 5 stars for sure! I was embarrassed to have recommended the place to others, not realizing it was no longer great. read more

Took our children here last week. It's pricey. There were about 5-6 experiences closed. Our 6 yo and 4 yo still had a great time, but the worst part was the prizes they could buy at the end were SAD. $25 for a dum dum sucker or other cheap piñata candy. So the ticket cost $50 USD and they get 50 kidzania dollars to buy stuff and go earn. My kids had about 80 bucks each when we were done and leaving and they got a couple of crappy suckers. If the business is supposedly making millions each year they could do better on the treasures is all I'm saying. read more

Super pricey for a lot of waiting. Paid almost $200 for the family and spent the first 40 minutes waiting in lines to do activities for a few minutes. There is no free play just lines. Half the business were closed or would be available in 2 hours. Be prepared to wait nearly an hour to be a firefighter. Kids were crying when they couldn't get in to do an activity. Terrible experience. read more
