Kids on the Job – KidZania, Tokyo

Want your kids to be a doctor or a dentist? Here is your chance for them to fast track their careers!

“Lets cut her open and take a look – scary stuff!!!” The kids are on the job with heart surgery already!
Just as well there are some ‘zupervisors’s on the job at KidZania!
Has anyone been to Tokyo KidZania?
Looks like heaps of fun.

What a wonderful idea – kids on the job and in action learning situations to spark their interest in future career opportunities – Kidzania in Tokyo!

This looks serious business. The best bit is that the kids even get paid for their work here – in Kidzo money! – Real life situations, real life outcomes ? Wonderful – do they have to pay tax too I wonder?

Perhaps this patient has had a few too many parfaits?
How many teeth shall we extract?

Oh no root cana?l!

Oh no root canal!


Lets just take them all out while we are here.

If being a dentist doesnt work out for you, perhaps you would prefer to be a chef?

Fantastic opportunities for the kids to try out a profession! There are about 70 different activities to try your hand at – so to speak!

What's this one ? Shop assistant?

I love Licca!

Small amount of youtube footage – both pieces a bit noisy- but shows the queues for kids to enter the profession of their choice – the ambulance looks quite popular!

Tokyo’s Edutainment at Kidzania! There are also kids pretending to be flight attendants serving meals to other children. There are kid pilots working an advanced flight simulator. Too much fun!

For some more great photos of Tokyo KidZania take a look through Altus’ photostream – looks like a great day out.

Sky News also picked up on the story and wrote an interesting article about KidZania.

Kidzania is also going to introduce two new jobs shortly. Kids will be able to try out astronaut life and football coaching. Excellent challenges – good for KidZania!
