KidZania Santiago is a miniature indoor city designed for children, featuring a scaled-down urban infrastructure where kids role-play adult professions. Located within the Vida Parque complex, it offers over 60 different career scenarios, ranging from firefighting and aviation to banking and journalism. Children earn a proprietary currency called 'KidZos' by completing tasks, which they can then save in a local bank or spend on products and services within the facility. The environment is built to scale, featuring streets, shops, and functioning vehicles, all monitored by trained staff known as Zupervisors. It operates as an educational entertainment concept, emphasizing financial literacy, teamwork, and autonomy. The facility is fully enclosed and climate-controlled, making it independent of Santiago's external weather conditions.
