History

A NATION IS BORN
Kidzania’s history starts like all great stories do, with idealistic passion and an unwavering spirit that was stimulated by a communal desire to create something better. The kids decided to create a nation filled with abundant opportunities, where kids could assert themselves and be responsible. And this was a world where kids could think and act independently from adults.
What the kids envisioned was a real world made perfect which ultimately made it “the place” where kids wanted to be, KIDZANIA was born.

Rights Are Defined

Making the world a better place was a grand idea for sure, but the kids know it was also the road to self-empowering. It would free and empower them to exercise their rights.

These are the fundamental rights:

- To Be: the power to be self-determining, unique and free;
- To Know: the capacity to be experimental when educating oneself
- To Care: the responsibility to be supportive and proactive
- To Play: the ability to be playful and participatory in life.

These are rights fundamental to their beliefs and unifies in principle and purpose that were their guide towards achieving happiness.

THE FIRST KIDZANIA
The first KIDZANIA was founded on September 1st, 1999 at Santa Fe in Mexico City. The day the city opened in Santa Fe, thousands of children came and quickly embraced the city as their own.

Started from a simple philosophy, KIDZANIA has now become an international city when it was recently opened in Tokyo Japan on October 2006. Children from all parts of Japan flocked the city everyday to exercise their rights of “To Be”, “To Care”, “To Know” and “To Play” in an ideal environment.
