Jobs and Activities You Can Experience

Career Experience at KidZania

KidZania offers realistic career experiences.
For younger children, food-related activities might be easier to understand.
Why not try making pizza, hamburgers, or Hi-Chew candy from scratch?
It will be a valuable opportunity for food education.
For children aged elementary school and up, I recommend trying asset management activities.
You'll learn how to operate and evaluate companies and facilities.
Long-term management can be learned through an app.

Career Experience at Kandu

I think the best activity to try at Kandu is becoming a lawyer.
You’ll learn practical, clinical aspects of law, such as how to gather evidence and the principles of legal defense. This knowledge could be useful in the future.
