KidZania Manila was an indoor family entertainment center in Bonifacio Global City , Taguig , Metro Manila , Philippines . It was an ABS-CBN Corporation -owned franchise [2] of KidZania , a Mexican chain of family entertainment centers which allowed children aged 4 to 14 to work in adult jobs and earn currency. KidZania Manila was opened to the general public on August 7, 2015, making it the 11th KidZania in Asia and the 20th in the world. It was closed permanently on August 31, 2020, after 5 years, due to the losses amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the country . [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] As of 2024, the former location of KidZania Manila is currently occupied by Livezen Health & Wellness. [ citation needed ]

Kidzania Manila formerly featured the front fuselage of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 airplane, formerly operated by Northwest Airlines , [7] as evidenced by the fleet number. It was repainted in Cebu Pacific colors, [8] and contained multiple flight simulators inside for the pilot job. [9]

The nose of the plane protruded out of the building at a diagonal angle, with the rest of the aircraft inside the structure. The aircraft has since been removed.

Awards [ edit ]

KidZania Manila, together with its PR agency, Strategic Works, Inc., won two Anvil Awards in 2017. [10]
