A Preview Of KidZania Manila + What You Need To Know Before You Visit

August 3, 2015 16 Comments

KidZania Manila is the ultimate indoor pretend city especially made for kids and any child who goes there will find it absolutely awesome! This is one of the reasons why I have been very excited for its opening day and was so looking forward to bring the little man to the place. I know that we will definitely have a grand time there!

Well, the long wait is over as KidZania Manila is slated to open its doors on 07 August. We were invited to the press preview {#KZMNLPreview} last Wednesday and had the awesome privilege of touring the place before it opens to the public. A short program hosted by ABS-CBN news anchor, Karen Davila, and graced by no less that KidZania Founder and CEO Xavier Lopez Ancona and KidZania Philippines State Governor, Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas was held before the place burst with lights and the tour commenced. It was just too bad that the little man cannot tag along as he had classes that morning. This mum was in awe and felt like a giddy 6-year old. Indeed, this place made me wish I was a child again so I can only imagine how excited Jared would be when he visits the place. I am thinking a KidZania adventure on his birthday would really sound like a very good idea! 😉
