Description of the city of professions Kidzania in Moscow

The fun begins with traveling around the city. At the local airport, the children are met by a real plane. At the entrance, children receive bracelets with a chip, which allows parents to monitor their children’s achievements online using video footage on the gadget. When traveling by air, children are also given 50 kidzo (local currency), a KidZania city card, a bank card, and a food voucher. The entertainment center places an information table allowing guests to quickly find their way around. Guests are advised on any questions they may have by competent KidZania staff.
