Little kids love playing pretend. In their imagination, they could be doctors, pilots, artists, firefighters, and whatever else they can think of. Although there are toys that can help enhance this kind of educational play, wouldn't it be wonderful if Filipino kids could do these activities in a place that looks like a real work environment?
Now they can! This 2015, the global leader in children’s educational entertainment, KidZania, is bringing the ultimate role playing experience to the Philippines! And to help bring this indoor play city to life are over 40 of the country’s most respected brands, which have signed up as Industry Partners working towards the common goal of helping kids learn how to build a better world.
Yesterday, KidZania Manila thanked and recognized its Industry Partners in an event held at the Hotel Intercontinental Manila. Representing the different Industry Partners were 100 officials who, along with members of the media and other guests, celebrated the wonderful play experience in store for Filipino kids.

At the core of the KidZania experience is immersive, interactive role play rooted in real-life activities and establishments. That is where Industry Partners support the experience using expertise in their respective fields. They will help bring realism to the kid-sized city, providing children with truly engaging activities and skills that they can use in real life.

Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas, State Governor for KidZania Philippines, affirmed that they want kids to imagine, to play, have fun, and enjoy the amazing role play experiences at KidZania Manila. "They will learn, as they play, about the varied, interesting roles and establishments that collaborate and serve to create a good community. Our Industry Partners contribute significantly to make the KidZania Manila experience as authentic and meaningful as possible for the children who will visit our play city," she excitedly shared. "With their years of knowledge and expertise, they help enrich the educational entertainment value of the KidZania concept."

As KidZania Industry Partners, companies will have a real opportunity to become indispensable parts of the story as KidZania Manila incorporates each real-world brand into various establishments. As a result, the experience sparks the imagination, ignites their minds, nurtures creativity and inspires real-world exploration.
