On the first floor of The Mall at The Avenues in Al Rai sits a child-sized city. Children walk in, take on jobs, and get paid in the city’s own currency, kidZos, which they spend inside. KidZania is a global brand with 28 locations; the Kuwait branch is run by Alshaya.

A passport for KD 2
Regular visitors can join the B·KidZanian programme for KD 2. The child has a photo taken at the PaZZport Office inside the city and gets a passport that is stamped for each activity they take part in. More stamps move them up three levels, with better wages in kidZos and discounts at the city’s store. A parent or guardian must be present at enrolment.
For under-fives
A section called The Neighborhood is set aside for children from birth to age 4, with a small science lab, an interactive wall and a baby gym. Parents must stay with their children there.
