A simulated city with real-world establishments like banks and universities, with role playing options like pilot and policeman. This one’s for the kids, the parents sit this one out.

The indoor park has opened on the 3rd floor of R City Mall, Ghatkopar West. It is a city built to scale for children, complete with paved roads and cars, city buildings, recognisable establishments and a functioning economy. It features 60-plus real-world establishments and 80-plus role-playing options aimed at helping children develop real life skills.

The press conference included  Xavier Lopez Ancona (President & Global CEO of KidZania), Paras Chandaria (Director Comcraft group & Co-Promoter KidZania Mumbai) and Shah Rukh Khan (Actor and Co-Promoter KidZania Mumbai) who formally addressed the crowd on KidZania’s journey to Mumbai.

After the Q&A, the sirens of a fire truck alarmed all those present. The dignitaries rushed to the fire truck, to the aid of the kids role-playing as fire fighters, to douse the ‘Hotel on Flames’ and thus the media and press got a firsthand experience of what the kids would experience in the city of KidZania.
