KidZania is a privately held Mexican chain of family entertainment centers currently operating in 16 locations allowing children to work in adult jobs and earn currency. KidZania has received more than 31 million guests around the world since its opening, making it one of the fastest growing global edutainment brands in the world. ==Overview== Every KidZania is themed as a child-sized replica of a real city, including buildings, shops and theaters, as well as vehicles and pedestrians moving along its streets. In this city, children aged 4 through 14, work in branded activities from bottling Coca-Cola, working in a Crest-sponsored dentist office, working at a McDonalds restaurant,〔 painting with Corporação Industrial do Norte, washing hands with P&G's Safeguard soap, and using airline tickets from American Airlines, Emirates and Saudia. The children earn kidZos (KidZania's currency) while performing the tasks, and the money is kept in the KidZania bank for children to spend at the gift shop and on KidZania activities. Inside every KidZania facility around the world, children wear electronic bracelets that allow parents to keep track of their kids remotely.〔Nathaniel Parish Flannery, (KidZania and a New Generation of Entrepreneurs in Mexico ), ''Forbes'', 7/18/2012〕 The blending of marketing has led ''The Morning News'' to dub KidZania as "advertainment", stating "there is little that's pretend, and the play revolves around following instructions from the adult Zupervisors."〔 Children also make up the governance of KidZania, with a 14-member group. Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan owns 26% share in KidZania Mumbai and helps to promote the brand in India.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KidZania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
