The global leader in children’s educational entertainment, KidZania, is bringing the ultimate role playing experience to the Philippines this 2015. To-date, over 40 of the country’s most respected brands have signed up to help bring this indoor play city to life as KidZania Manila’s Industry Partners – working towards the common goal of giving kids fun as they gain life skills that will help them learn how to build a better world.
KidZania Manila introduced and paid tribute to its growing community of Industry Partners during an event held at the Hotel InterContinental Manila. Over 100 officials representing the different partner brands, along with members of the media and other guests, were in attendance, as they celebrated the wonderful play experience in store for Filipino kids.
Immersive, interactive role play rooted in real-life activities and establishments is at the core of the KidZania experience. And that is where Industry Partners support the experience: with their expertise in their respective industries, these brands help bring realism to the kid-sized city, providing children with truly engaging activities and skills that they can use in real life.
Incorporating knowledge and expertise shared by Industry Partners, educators develop KidZania Manila’s role play activities to ensure that the play city complements classroom learning, focusing on key areas such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, confidence, and collaboration.
Making Learning More Fun
At KidZania Manila, kids can be anything they want to be, with over 100 role playing activities to choose from. Inside almost 9,000 square meters of play space built just for them — the play city provides kids with the ultimate role playing environment. Through realistic establishments ranging from industrial, retail, cultural, and utility services, kids can experience hands-on what it takes to run a city.
Kids can learn traffic regulations and vehicle operations, and apply for their own driver’s license at the Driving School (A-1 Driving), operate the gas pump as well as learn about car maintenance and safety at the Gas Station (Shell), or make their own automobile design and be car engineers at the Honda Car Design and Dealership and Honda Car Assembly stations.
“The best way to educate the children of today is by learning through play,” said A-1 Driving Assistant Vice President Aljun C. Garcia. “This generation will keep our roads safe because of what they’ll learn from A-1 Driving at KidZania Manila.”
According to Honda Cars Philippines President and General Manager Toshio Kuwahara, the company is happy to be a part of the KidZania Manila community that drives children to learn and have fun. “Together, we share the joy of leading children to roads of endless possibilities,” he added.
“Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation is proud to partner with the play city in preparing the Filipino youth for the big world,” said the company’s President and Chairman Edgar Chua. “We look forward to stimulating the minds and seeing smiles on the faces of the kids who visit the KidZania Shell station.”
A city where kids rule—where they can imagine and actually get to experience what they want to be when they grow up—this is KidZania Manila.

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) announces its partnership with KidZania Manila, a first- of-its-kind indoor hyper-real play city for kids which is set to open this 2015.
Honda, a key player in the automotive business, is known for creating vehicles that provide the pleasure of mobility to make people’s lives more enjoyable. According to Toshio Kuwahara, HCPI President and General Manager, Honda’s facilities in KidZania will be similar to what the Honda business in the Philippines is all about. “We want to introduce the dynamic world of Honda to the kids through this activity and of course for them to have better appreciation of the automotive industry as a whole,” said Kuwahara.
Honda will showcase activities in KidZania Manila that are designed for kids three to 14 years old to explore playing different roles in a comparable Honda business working environment from its manufacturing to sales operations. With Honda’s fundamental beliefs of The Three Joys of Buying, Selling and Creating in mind, kids will be treated to an experience similar to being a sales consultant and manufacturing associate who will aim to ensure the highest quality of service Honda has always lived up to.
Kuwahara expressed his enthusiasm as Honda turns out to be a channel to help drive kids to a brighter future, “we want the kids to enjoy their time experiencing the life of an adult and give them the avenue to develop skills that will be beneficial to them now or in the future. Ultimately, what we want is for them to dream and imagine the endless possibilities that lie ahead of them,” he said.
The Honda business started with a dream of a man with youthful spirit, Mr. Soichiro Honda; since then it has evolved to being a company that consistently pursues the development of technologies that are of great benefit to people in their daily lives. HCPI’s partnership with KidZania Manila is one of their ways to inspire the youth to discover their passions, develop their potential and pursue their dreams.
