With locations in Hyogo, Tokyo and Fukuoka, KidZania is a family-focused indoor entertainment centre where children can experience a range of real-world jobs through interactive roleplay – from firefighting and piloting aircraft to baking and manufacturing small items. Now, KidZania Japan will be making an appearance at Expo 2025 at the height of summer vacation season, in the form of a one-night-only event that presents a variety of child-led activities to an international audience.
Taking place on Thursday August 7 from 4.30pm to 7pm, the event will feature quizzes, dances and games, a smattering of local celebrities and world-class dance artists, and child-led sessions and shows. As the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are one of the focuses of KidZania Japan’s facilities, the event will also showcase the dreams and goals of children who have decided to take action in making the world a better and more sustainable place. Entry to the event is included in the admission fee for the Expo.
