I'm not sure I follow? A while ago I asked my approx 18 year daughter how much she needed for a trip she was taking at my expense. She said, with no hint of irony "one money". So yeah. Maybe I could have done more sooner to raise their fiscal awareness..

If on the other hand you have the absolute pleasure of not knowing what a kidzania is then let me ruin that for you.

Do you ever wake up thinking, "you know what. I wish there could be more product placement and brand marketing to kids at an impressionable age. And I really wish we could get the parents to pay for that priviledge and if possible make them queue lots."
Well do I have a treat for you.

Joking aside, each "vocation station", for want of a better term, runs for 30 mins to an hour. Some are excellent to be honest. My kids loved being photographers and radio presenters (because I didn't own 4 cameras or let them talk at home back then.)

It's actually really enjoyable for the kids and you can watch from a respectful distance. We went a few times over the years and I managed to grab some lovely photos of them in the various outfits.
And if you are a Brit of a certain age and loved "Mr Benn" you'll almost wish you were young again!
