KidZania is the Country of Children, spread over an area of 10,000 m², where children between the ages of 1-14 experience more than 120 professions that will improve both their motor skills and physical and social skills in 67 fun activities, get the freedom to choose, use their creativity, play, and produce. KidZania is a place where children have "fun moments and happy memories"! Children step into the adult world, put on a real uniform and go to work. Pilots fly planes, archaeologists dig, and chefs prepare delicious food. In short, children enjoy the real world at KidZania.
It is recommended that children wear clothes in which they can move freely. It is important not to wear sandals and skirts to ensure safe activities such as the Construction Site, Secret Agent Center, and Climbing Wall.
At the entrances from KidZania Istanbul Airport, RFID wristbands are attached to both the child visitor and the accompanying adult. Therefore, an adult must accompany the child at the entrance.
After the entrance, children over the age of 7 can spend time at KidZania as they wish without their parents. However, for the safety of children, those under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult.
Parents can, if they wish, take time for themselves with peace of mind by entrusting their children between the ages of 5-14 to the experienced KidZitters at KidZania.
When the children whose parents do not accompany them at KidZania exit, they are delivered safely to the parents matching their wristbands.
The safety of our children and you is our top priority. With this awareness, many safety measures have been implemented in our city. The entire city is continuously monitored by more than 300 security cameras. We have a total of 21 emergency exits, 14 of which are within the city. Additionally, we have Supervisors trained in first aid and an infirmary in our city. In terms of fire precautions, our city is equipped with more than 400 smoke detectors and fire sprinklers. Over 40 fire extinguishers and hoses, which are regularly maintained, are also ready to ensure our safety. Our inspections are conducted not only by an Occupational Health and Safety Specialist but also periodically by an Independent Fire Consultant. In addition, we have teams of 15 people each for fire extinguishing, protection, first aid, and rescue. Our goal is to provide the highest standard of safety for your children and you. If you have any questions about safety, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be very pleased to assist you.
Children under the age of 7 can enter with an adult as they may be illiterate and may need help with their needs such as toilets. However, all children aged 7 and over who can meet their own needs can spend their time freely at KidZania without the need for an adult.

Unlike a classical interview, candidates' role-playing skills and their willingness and competence to work with children are evaluated in the recruitment process.
