kidzania fun

we were invited by dear cousin (or makngah ana to the kids) to have some fun at kidzania...it was the first time for all of us there..she got 5 free tickets that she won in a lucky draw, so that saved us on the entrance fees..entrance fees for baby 0-1 is free (yeay for iyad!), children 2-3 is RM 35, 4-17 is RM 55, adult is RM 35...

as i went there without dear hubby as he was working, so i could only bring jihan and baby iyad...we had to leave imtiaz behind, sorry darling, we'll come again here with you and papa next time..

we arrived there at around 11 am.. the queue was quite short to redeem our entrance tickets...we got our wrist bands (including baby iyad too which i wore it for him, so double wrist bands for me), boarding passes and the kids got their 50 kidzos cheque...then went up to the boarding area, scanned our tickets and wrist bands, entered the area and the kids had to go to the bank to cash in the cheque into kidzos notes...

it was school holiday and on a friday, so there were many people inside...kind of noisy too...so we walked around, trying to find the shortest queue for the kids to start doing their jobs and earn some kidzos...their first stop was the NST office (haiyaa, must be the influenced of mak ngah ana's job)..they became the newspaper vendors making deliveries and earned 10 kidzos each...it was fun for them as they have to read the map and deliver the newspapers at designated places...

then they went to the cadbury's factory to make chocolates...yummy...while waiting for them, i breastfed baby iyad at the toddlers area and changed his nappy at the baby changing room..it was well-maintained and cozy...after doing the 2 jobs, we were all hungry...so we had meehoon goreng and fried fishballs at the cafe in the kidzania town...

after stuffing ourselves, it's time for the next job..they decided to do more deliveries, this time at the poslaju centre...these kids loved running around making deliveries...they earned 8 kidzos each for the job..

and finally, we went to the TV studios as jihan wanted to become the newscaster...ikmal and sofea became the crew members in a news production...jihan got to become the weather girl..she was quite good but was quite shy...

at the end of the whole thing, we viewed the kids' photos at the photo station and bought them as momentos...we also bought some souvenirs at the souvenir shop...the kidzos they earned can be exchanged with goods at the supermarket but they need to have a minimum of 100 kidzos to spend...they can also deposit the kidzos at their cimb accounts but at that time the bank at kidzania town had already closed...so, we are keeping the kidzos till the next time we are here to do more jobs and spend the kidzos..

we crossed over to the curve and had our tea at marche...baby iyad behaved very well throughout the trip..he was awake and got to see kakak read the weather forecast...he was was happily snugged in the wrap and we had wonderful babywearing time together...

overall, it was a great place for kids and their families..even us adults had fun watching our children in action doing their jobs...entrance fee was reasonable but i think the management needs to limit the number of people entering the town at a certain time...when there are too many, the queue for high demand activities are long, so they have to wait for their turns as long as 30-40 minutes when they can actually do some other jobs in between..and it's too crowded like a pasar malam...
