Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Book the 10 AM-3 PM session. The afternoon session (4-9 PM) has fewer activities open and feels rushed.
Your kid needs to be at least 4 years old. We tried bringing our 3-year-old and he was too young for 80% of activities.
The airline pilot and firefighter stations are most popular. Go there first or prepare for 30-minute waits.
Drop-off is optional but we recommend staying nearby. The parent viewing areas let you watch without hovering.
Kids earn KidZos (the in-city currency) at each job which they can spend at the end. It is a great lesson in earning vs spending.

A Real Parent's Story
He earned his first paycheck and refused to spend it
“My 6-year-old worked as a pilot, a baker, and a delivery driver. He earned 50 KidZos. When it was time to spend he said no I am saving. I have never been prouder.”

KidZania Dubai is impressive -- and I say that as someone who has been to the original in Mexico City. The Dubai branch is cleaner, better organized, and more English-friendly. The Emirates Aviation section is a standout with kids boarding a mock Boeing 777 cockpit.
