Being a mom of a three year old kid makes me go through a host of challenges. Balancing work, paying attention to his tantrums, satisfying his interests with innovative avenues everyday are problems I think every mother encounters in her day to day life. And what do we usually do? Hand him a phone or switch on the TV? Yes, even I am not an exception in this group of mommies. Despite coming up with a number of activities everyday, his exploring instincts still remain dissatisfied. And keeping in mind all these issues, I decided to take him to Kidzania on a weekend and believe me I truly wished I could become a kid again with him.

 

For those who are not quite aware about what’s Kidzania, this is a set up in Noida that Has a huge host of role playing activity platforms to encourage the adventurer spirits hidden in every child’s mind. Kidzania Mumbai had been a huge success and thankfully the Capital City kids also got a chance toexperience this thrilling fiesta.

And last weekend I decided to venture out with my kid into this whirlpool of extravaganza.

The Beginning

Well, the best part is as you head towards this colossal setting and get ready to board the fun filled flight, you need to take your boarding passes( access tickets). Your kid is also handed over a cheque of a certain amount and both you along with your little one will be given wrist bands{ GPS Trackers} for keeping a track of your kids’ location throughout the entire space.

What Awaits For You Inside?

As I quoted, this is a hub of ROLE Playing activities. You have the hospital, the Fire Station, The Studio, The Pottery Station, The Pre School, Kitchen, Radio Station, Dance Academy , Bollywood studio and what not! Popular brands like Dominos, Radio City, Camlin, Big Bazar, Shaimak Davaar Academy are associated with these role playing platforms. In fact all spheres of professions have been taken care of and your kid has the chances to explore every avenue matching his core interest.

Itook my 3 year old boy to the Maruti Suzuki Play Station First where your kid in the company of a driver drives a car, fills in petrol and then rides back to his original destination.

Our next Stop was the hospital where my little brat was handed over a doctor’s court and was skillfully trained how to dress and feed a baby in the role playing nursery. From undressing the little babies(dolls) to making it wear diapers, every meticulous detail was being addressed to. At last he was also taught how to feed a baby milk through a bottle and rest him back to sleep.

The Camlin art studio, Gaana party station, Shaimak Davar Dance Academy were all enthralling spaces that made my kiddo happy to the brim. We wished we could make it a bit early to the place as we had only 3 hours at hand and a tones of things remaining to explore.

Now

Let Me Tell You What Makes Kidzania a Unique and A Must Visit Avenue For Every Child?

√ It Teaches Your Child A Simple Method of Transaction

Remember the cheque that my kiddo was handed over when he entered Kidzania? Well, the real fun begins here. The cheque needs to be encashed in the virtual YES Bank and your kid could be handed over some notes for access to every activity.

The activities are broadly classified into earning and spending categories. Like for example the Party station and the Driving activity required some cash to be spent. While the dance, painting and practice as a doctor made him earn some more cash. Nothing could have been a more simplified way to teach kiddos the concept of transaction.

√Trained Professionals Imparting Knowledge

Each of the professionals in every sphere is well-trained in his/her area. The patience with which they handle kids is commendable and the role-playing sessions are conducted on a highly serious note, thus keeping the originality intact.

√Boosts A Child’s Confidence and Sharpens His Independence

Several activities are planned in such a manner that they gradually shirk off your child’s shyness. For example in the Shaimak Daavar Academy the child is not only trained how to dance to a particular song but after the training sessions, he/she is taken to the stage and perform in a group, thus making sure that his stage confidence gets boosted up. Self-reliance is one of the core parameters taken into account here as none of the parents are accessed admission into areas of activities and they need to execute the tasks independently.

√Safety is the Ultimate Priority

Well, you can leave behind your kids behind at Kidzania and go for a movie, chill out with friends or go for office. Believe me, your child’s safety is never at stake here. Before accessing any activity, each child’s GPS tracker wrist bands are scanned to keep a track of the location. When you are back to take your child home, you can always get the deets of his location from the system operator. Both your child’s and yours GPS trackers are synced to each other. Activities are sorted as per age limitations and hence you don’t need to feel worried about your kid’s safety even for a minute.

√ Every Child Is Given The Feel Of An Adult

Your children will be throughout treated as an adult beginning from the mere addressing to the imparting of the training sessions. Every child is addressed as “Sir/Ma’am” irrespective of their age and given tasks just like professionals. Every task is imparted a prior training followed y execution.

I am not biased but I think no play area or theme park can counter this brilliant concept. Children have tonnes to learn and loads of adventure awaits at their end.

Besides, it is indeed a cost-effective place as for a span of 5 hours, the charge is only 600 INR while for the entire day is 900. I think one day at Kidzania ia far better and lucrative( both on monetary and skill parameters) spending thousands on the toys.

So dear fellow mommies, make a visit to Kidzania soon and don’t let your little one miss out the fun.
