Olympic spirit resonates at KidZania Games

KidZania is celebrating the upcoming KidZania Games with various activities themed around the Olympics for the little ones, aimed at enabling them to further develop their enthusiasm and awareness of sports and be part of the excitement surrounding the global event.

Ric Fearnett, mayor, KidZania Dubai, said: “Inspired by the Olympic Games, the KidZania Games will offer children the opportunity to discover the joy of sports and feel and act like athletes. Several Olympic-themed activities will be showcased which will enhance the awareness of our young visitors about the Olympics. KidZania Games marks our commitment to offer new and innovative edutainment experiences for children by drawing on the popularity and universal values associated with the Olympics.”

Children will have the opportunity to learn new disciplines or perfect their skills with an array of choices at the special sports arena of KidZania that will offer gymnastics, high jump, boxing and weightlifting facilities. Going beyond the practice of sports, the edutainment centre will feature special themed activities for kids to become better team-players and develop team harmony.

KidZania will also hold a special athletes parade; a march by KidZania mascots. Children dress up to represent various KidZania nations around the world and wave their flag as they walk the parade route.
