“Have your kids ever dreamt of becoming a pilot, a firefighter, or the next award-winning singer? Imagine a 75,000sq.ft child-size city where kids are in charge!”

On Saturday, the 5^th of December, 351 disadvantaged children and their carers attendedKidZania in London through KidsOut. The group was comprised of children from London refuges and the charity Siblings Together, which works to promote positive contact between siblings separated in care.

Featuring 60 real life role-play activities, the recently-opened child-size city teaches children essential life skills and is designed to empower them to explore the world’s opportunities. “It really was a dream come true,” said one of the parents. “The children and I had a wonderful time, and I’m so grateful.”
