Urbano’s House at KidZania® is the ultimate fun destination for tiny tots who can revel in a range of specially designed activities. As the name indicates, Urbano’s House is the abode of Urbano, the mascot of KidZania®, who represents children’s ‘Right to KNOW.’
Sparking curiosity and providing activities that build hand-eye coordination as well as unlimited fun, Urbano’s House will be a value-add for families visiting the mall, who can give a dollop of excitement for their toddlers too.
Parents of these kids can also take part in the fun activities thus gaining some quality parenting time. At all times, there will be trained “Zupervisors†who will engage the children in various activities.
Mr William Edwards, Governor, KidZania®, said Urbano’s House is a perfect complement to KidZania®, which offers children up to the age of 16 years the unique opportunity to enact their dream careers. “Urbano’s House is for the little ones, who will be attracted by the play areas, colourful ambience and specially designed games and toys.â€
