Kidzania, an indoor family education and entertainment centre, has unveiled Qatar Airways as its latest industry partner and I got a sneak peek of how the new facility is shaping up on Sentosa Island!
Kidzania Singapore is housed at Palawan Kidz City at Palawan Beach, and upon arrival, one will be welcomed (and astounded) by the sight of a life-size decommissioned Boeing 737 that measures over 25 metre long with a full wingspan of 28 metres.
Kidzania is the world’s fastest growing family edutainment phenomenon and it offers an interactive learning and entertainment experience targeted for kids.
KidZania combines role-play with real life, creating a kid-centric city experience designed to educate and inspire kids – from arriving at the airport, to visiting a city centre, to exploring the city streets.
Of all the 22 KidZania cities located worldwide, KidZania Singapore will be the only KidZania to showcase the full fuselage of an actual plane within its city.
Tunku Dato' Ahmad Burhanuddin (Group MD & CEO of Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels), His Excellency Mr Akbar Al Bakar (Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive), Mr William Edwards (CEO of Attractions at Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels)
We are delighted to partner KidZania once again to ignite children’s imagination and bring their aviation dreams to life in an educational and entertaining way.
At Qatar Airways, we aspire to go places together with our passengers and through KidZania Singapore; we hope to introduce today’s budding aviation enthusiasts to the airline environment, helping them on their journeys into an aviation-related career when they grow up.
– Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr Akbar Al Bakar

Visitors entering KidZania Singapore will be greeted at the Qatar Airways branded airport terminal, complete with check-in desks and personnel dressed in Qatar Airways uniform. The facility is also home to the Aviation Academy where kids can immerse themselves in the world of aviation and travel.
With the help of Zupervisors, aspiring pilots at KidZania Singapore can experience flying two of Qatar Airways’ flagship aircraft – the 787 Dreamliner and the A380 superjumbo aircraft – using state-of-the-air flight simulators.
The flight simulation facility was specially designed to demonstrate taking off and landing at Qatar Airways home base and hub, Hamad International Airport in Doha and Singapore Changi Airport.
Designed to suit children aged 4 and above at KidZania Singapore, kids can choose from a diverse range of role-playing activities. They can role-play as Qatar Airways’ pilots or cabin crew and learn how to ensure the safety and comfort of their passengers on-board. Parents can join in the fun as they take on the role of on-board passengers receiving five-star inflight hospitality from their little ones.
Through the Aviation Academy , the kids can inch closer to their dreams of becoming pilots and cabin crew and gain a greater appreciation for the responsibilities and skills required to be part of the airline’s operating crew.
