Additional SAFETY and SECURITY considerations:
- Every KidZania is designed to conform or exceed — local and international Safety and Security regulations.
- KidZania has stringent manuals regarding Safety and Security to ensure that visitor, staff or supplier is safe and secure at all times whilst in KidZania, and that all precautions have been considered related to emergency situations in terms of Facility design.
- From the design stage, CCTV system is centralized and controlled from a secured Control Room, in which all signals from CCTV cameras, Public address system, fire alarms and access/exits are controlled.
- Restrooms: Internal elements of the restrooms help to be aware of safety aspects. One of these is the height of the toilets partition, which must allow to see if no more than one person is inside. Though CCTV coverage cannot be considered within toilets, every toilet is fixed with one at the entry and exit to determine who has used the facility and at what time.
Our recent trip to KidZania was in July with my son and his cousins. Each had their story to tell after the visit. The youngest member who is just seven could not stop raving about her car ride and the Driving License she won after a driving test. She was beaming with a sense of achievement. The bigger kids had fun doing adventure activities like climbing as well as earning some bucks at the courier services store. But at all times they were supervised by KidZania staff strapping the safety harnesses and chatting with them before each session to make them comfortable.
