“KidZania Fukuoka,” a town where children play the leading role, where children can learn about the structure of society while having fun Opening July 31, 2022

NOMURA Co., Ltd. will help from the initial stage of the business plan of "Kidzania Fukuoka", which opened in "Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Fukuoka" on Sunday, July 31, 2022, and support the overall plan. In addition, we were in charge of the planning, design and construction of more than half of the exhibition pavilions.

　

KidZania Fukuoka, which opened in Japan for the first time in 13 years, will be the first in Kyushu. Like the existing KidZania Tokyo and KidZania Koshien, the entrance gate is designed to look like an airport where planes take off and land. is. Beyond the airport, there is a 2,000 tsubo (6,600 square meter) "town where children play the leading role" that expresses the real world in about 2/3 size. You can experience various jobs and services at the pavilion. After the work experience, you will be paid a special currency "Kidzo" as a salary, which can be used for shopping and services in the facility, and can also be "deposited" at the financial institution in the facility. The concept is “edutainment,” where you can learn about the structure of society while having fun.

 

In addition to these basic "Kidzania" mechanisms and initiatives for SDGs that make use of conventional knowledge, "Kidzania Fukuoka" is a unique feature of "Kidzania Fukuoka" that integrates experiences such as DX (digital transformation) and engineering. Advanced Technology Area” will be established. In addition, we have newly set up an "open theater" stage that is located in the center of the facility where you can perform in front of a large audience, and a "toddler area" where even children under the age of 3 can experience it. We will also introduce a selection system for “personal delivery” or “account transfer”, and start offering cash cards with debit card functions.

 

At "Kidzania Fukuoka", we will create a new KidZania through co-creation with the local community, and strive to create experience opportunities to nurture the zest for life of the local children who will lead the next generation.
