Here are some information and tips for your KidZania Istanbul trip…

What Kind of Place is “KidZania, Country of Children”?

KidZania was founded in Mexico in 1999 with the aim of creating a world where children can learn while having fun through games. KidZania is a country of children that considers children valuable citizens of today and real owners of the future, and encourages them to discover themselves and follow their dreams. This country, which has its own currency called KidZos and a very cute ten-word language, is run by children in 29 cities around the world. One of these cities is KidZania Istanbul, the only KidZania city in Turkey... KidZania Istanbul, which has been offering a “learning with fun” experience to children aged 0-14 on an area of 10 thousand square meters in Akasya Shopping Mall since 2014, is a real city with its hospital, bank, theatre, supermarket, university, radio, streets, and squares. In KidZania Istanbul, which has 67 different activity areas, children can experience more than 120 professions. All activities in this city are confirmed by the Behavioral Sciences Institute, and the activity contents are prepared with the support of pedagogues, game experts, and trainers.

Don’t Worry at KidZania!

At KidZania, the Country of Children, we attach great importance to hygiene. For the ventilation of our city, we use the "Special UV Photo Hydro Ionization" technology, which is also available in NASA's space stations. We purify our city, which is fed with 100 percent fresh air, from viruses and similar pathogens. In our spacious service area of 10 thousand square meters with a ceiling height of 8 meters, we offer a clean and safe experience with every breath.

Plan Your Trip in Advance

Children spend an average of 5 hours at KidZania. It is not possible for them to participate in all activities during this time (They participate in an average of seven activities in one visit). It is best to make a plan by reviewing the activity promotions, the age range of the activities and the city map on our website before you come. Thus, you can make the most of your time at KidZania without missing current activities. Online ticket booking is the most cost-effective way to visit Kidzania. By purchasing tickets from our website, you can view special offers, events, and opportunities for the period.

What is KidZos?

“KidZos”, one of the most valuable tools to learn about life in KidZania, is the official currency of KidZania. During their time at KidZania, children earn KidZos, spend KidZos on the activities they participate in, and can save KidZos in their bank account. We use contactless debit cards at KidZania and load 50 KidZos on children's bank cards at the entrance. Your children can load them onto their cards from KidZania Central Bank if they have saved KidZos.

Dress comfortably for an active experience!

You should not forget that your children will be active in KidZania. It is best for you and your children to choose comfortable shoes and thin clothes. In addition, we recommend that your children carry a small fanny pack or cross-body bag, or wear clothing with pockets to keep Kidzos debit cards safe.

Let Them Come with Their Friends

Children can make new friends in activities that require teamwork at KidZania. However, we would like to remind you that it is a unique opportunity for them to experience this beautiful experience with their friends and to make wonderful memories together.

Kai! ZanKs!...

In KidZania, the Country of Children, “Kai” means “Hello”, “Zanks” means “Thank you”… In KidZania, which has its own language, children learn the KidZania language in the activities they participate in and can speak the same language with the children in all KidZanias. Thus, they can feel like citizens of a different country – a country that belongs to them.

You Are Safe with RFID

Thanks to RFID wristbands, we offer a security system where we can track our children. We provide RFID wristbands for both our child visitors and the adults accompanying them, at the entrances. For this reason, all children who will be our guests must be accompanied by an adult at the entrance. Children under the age of seven can only enter KidZania Istanbul with an adult over the age of 18.
