Welcome to KidZania Dallas, a city built entirely for kids, run by kids.

A long time ago, the children of the world wanted a place where their voices truly mattered and where grown-ups actually listened. They wrote their own Declaration of Independence, founded their own nation, and named it KidZania, which translates to "Land of Clever Kids." KidZania celebrates its birthday on September 10th! The Fountain of Independence, one of our signature landmarks located at the city entrance, reminds us that children have ideas, rights, and the power to make a difference.

Today, there are KidZania cities all over the world, and you’re standing in one right now.

In KidZania, you will earn a currency called kidzos for the work you do here. Every citizen gets a bank account and a bank card at the Bank of KidZania, right off Main Plaza. That’s how you get paid and how you spend what you earn!

Before you head deeper into the city, turn around! Right across from this fountain is the Passport Office. Your KidZania passport makes you an official citizen. It tracks every job you’ve worked, every skill you’ve earned, and it unlocks perks all around the city. If you’re planning to come back, and most citizens do, the passport is the best thing you can pick up today.

This guide is here whenever you need it. Just scan a code or tap a link, and we’ll tell you what’s around you. Enjoy the city!

Can you name all six RightZKeepers?
listening time: 03:27
Audio Guide
On League of Rights Avenue, you'll see statues of the six RightsKeepers of KidZania. Each one has a personality, a story, and an important right they defend.

Urbano stands for the Right to Know. He's an inventor, a tinkerer, and he's always making something. He never stops asking "what if?" His wildest dream is to develop new technology that improves the world, and his proudest moment was the first time one of his gadgets actually worked. When he's not tinkering with electronics or browsing the web, he's collecting rare junk that he swears he'll turn into something useful. His curiosity drives everything you see in this city, from the TV Studio's cameras to the Hospital's equipment.

Beebop is Urbano's best friend and the quietest Guardian, but don't let that fool you — he's clever, talented and cool. You'll spot him by his headphones and his sketchbook. Beebop stands for the Right to Create, and he expresses it through every drawing and composition he makes. He plays the bass, he skateboards — his proudest moment was landing his first 360° ollie — and he's inspired by rock musicians and artists like Picasso and Dalí. He dreams of composing the best-selling song in history!

Chika stands for the Right to Share. She's stylish, generous, and spontaneous. She follows every trend and isn't afraid to experiment — her proudest moment is every time somebody compliments her outfit. She's inspired by manga and anime characters, and she's convinced that music and dancing are the best ways to communicate. Her wildest dream? To have a million friends. You'll feel her energy near the Influencer Studio and the Music Studio.

Vita stands for the Right to Care. She's Urbano's younger sister, but honestly, sometimes it seems like she's the responsible one. Vita is a nature lover who dreams of freeing the world of pollution. Her proudest moment was seeing her garden bloom for the first time. She loves gardening, arts and crafts, cooking, and taking long walks through the park. She wants to be an oceanographer when she grows up! And she never stops trying to get her brother to eat something healthier than pizza.

Bache is a two-year-old blue puppy and stands for the Right to Play. If he's not playing, he's eating: shoes, tennis rackets, French fries, you name it. But his absolute favorite? Pizza. His proudest moment was winning an international pie-eating contest, and his biggest challenge in life is finding a way to eat and sleep at the same time. When he's not chewing on things, he loves bowling, magic tricks, and wrestling with Urbano. If Bache could talk, he'd say he wishes every kid could be as happy as he is.

Bekha stands for the Right to Be. She's daring, fair, and open-minded. She's a traveler, a surfer, she once defeated the "Monster Wave" at the World Surf Competition, and she collects coins from every country she visits. For Bekha, freedom means thinking, speaking, and acting from the heart while staying in harmony with others. She's inspired by leaders of freedom, and her wildest dream is to give a speech on human equity at the United Nations. She wants to be a lawyer and she's always working to make the world a better place.
Together, they protect the rights to Be, to Play, to Create, to Know, to Care, and to Share. You'll spot their influence everywhere in the city!
What does the flame in the center of Main Plaza represent?

Audio Guide
You've made it to Main Plaza, the heart of the city!

Right in the center you'll see the Spirit of Eternity: the globe, the eternal flame, and the statue of Urbano holding our flag up high. That flame represents the founding of KidZania and the desire of children to change the world for the better. If you're lucky, you might even catch a flash mob right here in the square!

The Bank of KidZania is right at the edge of the Plaza. Every citizen needs a bank account and a bank card — this is where you get yours, and where you learn to manage your kidZos. If you haven't stopped in yet, do it now!

Facing the Plaza is the majestic Metropolitan Theatre, the biggest stage in the city. Dance shows, fashion runways, live performances — it all happens here. And if you've ever dreamed of being on that stage, the Fashion Studio and Acting Academy are right next door. That's where you train for your big moment!
Rumor has it, there's always a fire that needs putting out in KidZania... Think you're brave enough?

This corner of the city is action-packed!

The Fire Department is one of the most popular spots in all of KidZania. Here, firefighters train for real emergencies, suit up, and respond to fire calls across the city. There's always an emergency somewhere in the city. Stay alert!

Right next to the Fire Department is the Pie Five Pizza Shop, where you can make your very own pizza from scratch — sauce, toppings, and all. Pizza-making is available for an additional fee, and it's totally worth it. Bache would be so jealous: pizza is his favorite food in the entire world!

Need to burn off those calories? The Fitness Center is right here. And if you want a real challenge, check out the Takis Climbing Wall at the end of this block. Just like the snack, this one brings the heat. Are you brave enough to reach the top?

Welcome to the West Side! This is where citizens dive into knowledge, health, media, and hands-on trades.

KidZania University is right here, and citizens of any age can earn a degree. And that degree isn't just for show — graduates earn higher pay when they work jobs around the city. Education really does pay off! If you have a passport, your degree is logged right into it, creating a record of everything you've accomplished.

Across the way are the Hospital and Emergency Room. Here, doctors perform surgeries, conduct MRI scans, and respond to medical emergencies. The Vet Clinic is nearby too, because the animals of KidZania need great care just as much as the people.

The Podcast Studio is located on this block as well. Record your own podcast, discuss interesting topics, and share your ideas with the world. And who knows? You might even go viral! Next door is the Media Center, where future journalists and broadcasters learn how stories are created and shared.

The South End of the city is the Neighborhood — quieter, cozier, and designed especially for our youngest citizens.

The Experiential Store is where families create snow globes, bracelets, fun slimes, custom pins, and colorful keychains to take home. Fair warning: glitter may follow you home...

Right next door is the Snack Shop, where you learn what it's like to work on the other side of the counter. The Diner is nearby if you need a break, and the Baby Gym at the far end provides a safe and gentle place for our littlest citizens to play.

The Science Lab is tucked into this part of town too, filled with hands-on experiments for curious minds who love discovering how things work. Urbano would probably spend all day here if he could.

Across the way are the Organic Farm and the Open Stage. The farm teaches you how food grows from the ground up, while the Open Stage welcomes anyone who wants to perform — no audition required.

When you're getting ready to head home, make sure to visit the Department Store and the KidZania Store. The Department Store is where those hard-earned kidZos turn into real rewards. You browse, you choose, and you purchase with money you've earned yourself. And the KidZania Store is the perfect place to pick up souvenirs and remember your adventure.
