KidZania Manila was an indoor family entertainment center in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It was a franchise 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.[2][3][4][5][6]
