Kidzania Bangkok

Let me start by saying - WOW!  What an amazing place purposefully built for kids 

As Blake is 3 we could have gone the cheaper ticket but it would have limited what he could have done, so we got him a full priced kids ticket, meant to be for 4 year olds but they had no issues with us paying and we found he was only too little for the rock climbing (that being said we didn't even get through half of the activities).

We tried to go twice - but the first time wa totally packed as it was a Thai public holiday and we had to go back the next day.  

When it said on the web site the shopping center didn't open until 10am they didn't mention every enter acne would be fenced off until then! 

We rushed to the front of kidzania and got our tickets. I had a total score when I noticed some people with their Air Asia boarding passes (one of their major sponsors) and got ours from the day before off the email quickly and showed them and it meant we got a Massive 40% discount! Amazing! It cost us only $54 to get in for 2 adults and 2 kids - should have been about $90!

First things the boys had to do was go to the   bank and get their money to play with.  I really enjoyed that parents were NOT allowed into any activities at all! Staff were very supportive and all helped Blake as he needed, as did his awesome big brother. They started the day with $50 and had to earn money by doing jobs like going being a vet or doing deliveries, or pay for activities like an eye test, or building climbing. 

They ended the day with $90 each to spend in a little shop - where they actually could buy a little toy! 

First Caleb did some building climbing. 

He wasn't too keen! He only made it half way.

Then to their first job to make some money.  

Once their uniforms were on they had to get their trolley and find their packages some where around the city.

All the while mum and dad had to dodge the ambulance and fire engines driving around the town.

Next job was vet. 

Uniform on and time to go in.  Only a certain amount of kids are allowed into each job at a time. 

After that the boys wanted to be a police man.  

First thing was to get their uniform on.

They had to out looking for someone - Caleb wasn't sure what he had done as he was sometimes talking in Thai! 

Next Caleb was on to construction worker. (Wasn't enough spaces for Blake so we watched) 

Caleb was the crane driver

Then we decided to brave the line up for the fireman!  It only ended up being about 20 minutes and we ate our lunch while waiting in the line so they hardly noticed!

 First for uniforms.

Then a fireman briefing.

And then off to the truck.

Then time to fight the fire.

Then we went to pump some gas.  

Uniform on and a quick and easy way to make $10 for Blake. 

He came out repeating 'I pumped some gas'

While we were standing there Caleb noticed kids with a drivers license being allowed to drive the cars around! So off he went to get his license.

First he had to go and get his eyes tested. - no license without an eye test!

Then to driver training and license test.

Yay he passed and he got a license.  He took it straight over to drive the car.

The man checks your photo matches.

Then off he went for his hard earnt drive.

Then the boys went to the mechanics.

Last activity of the day was to go into the shop with your kidzania $$.  Poor Caleb had to talk Blake around the prices and how much they had as no parents allowed again.  They (Blake I guess) decided to pool their money and have enough to buy a toy.

There are about 60 activities/jobs to do and we only just scratched the surface.  There were some great ones there that little girls would have just loved, and the boys are sad they missed the pilot and hospital.  We will be back in a few weeks for another day!!
