Our Economy

KidZania's economy is carefully designed to involve children in the learning of the business cycle, by teaching them the value of work and by helping them understand how the process of exchanging money for goods and services works.

Economy Our coin

The kidZos are printed on tickets of the following denominations 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. As part of their access to KidZania, children receive a 50 kidZos check that they can change at the bank, allowing our visitors to start to spend kidZos immediately. Subsequently, they have to work in one of the different jobs available in KidZania to earn more kidZos.

Spending-money Spend kidZos

Our visitors can have their kidZos to spend as consumers in different establishments within KidZania. They can buy products or hire services. For example, they can pay their ticket for the Disco or fix their nails in the Beauty Salon. Prices for products and services vary according to the principle of supply and demand.

As in any economic system, goods and services are acquired with money and money is granted as payment in exchange for work. Thus, if children run out of kidZos they must apply for a job and receive a salary. For example, they can be a nurse in the Nursery or serve the city as Firefighters. Salaries for different jobs vary according to the principle of supply and demand.

They learn how to manage money by going to the bank to make a transaction at windows, by using an ATM to make a cash withdrawal or by checking the balance of your bank account. Also, children who are registered as Citizens of KidZania can check their balance online, as part of the benefits of the B · KidZanian program.
