For the uninitiated, Kidzania is basically a mock, miniature version of society masquerading as a children's activity centre. There's really no analogue that I know of for the North American (although I believe there is one in Mexico).
The pictures only paint half the picture; basically it's an indoor mall except all the stores are learning/activity centres sponsored by the actual corporations that display the logo on the storefront. For 10-15 minutes, kids get to pretend that they are actually working at the Chilsung Cider bottling plant, or learning about how the banking system works and Shin Han Bank, or putting out a fake fire in a two story building.
What's more, kids are paid the local currency (Kidzos) OR are charged Kidzos depending on what they do. Most "jobs" pay Kidzos; however, with some of the activities the kids actually walk away with real merchandise (i.e. Oddugi cup ramen) and those cost Kidzos. Like real life, you have to pay 15 Kidzos to get your drivers license, and then another 15 Kidzos to drive a pintsized Mercedes Benz around the track.
You can't buy Kidzos, the kids have to work for them. Fire fighter, hair dresser, food safety inspector, flight attendant (there's a front clip of an actual Korean Air airplane that the kids go into), Special Forces, Benz automotive designer, you name it.
Koreans take their kids futures seriously, and Kidzania is no joke. The concept is well thought out and executed and it takes at least two trips to pack everything in when it's slow. I don't know how you could even get through a quarter of it when it's busy.
PRO TIP: Make sure you cash in the "cheque" that you receive when you get your boarding pass (i.e. when you pay your admission). That cheque is worth 50 Kidzos. Even repeat visitors and locals didn't know what the cheque was for and our poor kids were slaving away at the Lotte Mart trying to save up for the ramen. I guess it symbolizes the ideal that we have some kind of support or wealthy uncle that can back us up.

Fun for the kids and what an experience! - Slices of job and career oriented activities for such a variety of options. You get 50 dollars of "kidzo" money to start and your kids make money when doing a service or job, and things that involve eating or food based activities you have to pay money. There is a bank where your child can get a bank account with a bank card and even a store where they can spend the money they have earned. Cool place! Just come early and in the mornings NOT during vacation or holidays!
