MANILA, Philippines – What’s it like to work as a pilot, a soldier or a cook? Filipino children will be able to answer that when KidZania opens in the country next year.

The educational entertainment center, which doubles as a “kid-sized city,” will be located at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig and will offer realistic role play for children aged four to 14 years old.

On Wednesday, McDonald’s announced that KidZania Manila will include in its structures a burger shop where children will learn how to make a cheeseburger.

Kenneth Yang, McDonald’s Philippines president and chief executive officer (CEO), said the partnership is in line with their commitment to the wellbeing of children and enjoyable experience of families.

Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas, president and CEO of Play Innovations Inc. and governor of KidZania Manila, said they are excited to have McDonald’s as an “ally in giving children a truly realistic, immersive experience.”

“Our goal is to empower kids in a fun way, by letting them experience how a community works, how to make and manage money, and how to cooperate and work with other people–all of which are necessary for success in the adult world,” she said.

Meanwhile, Yang said their burger shop “is yet another innovative way to have a fun activity for kids which, at the same time, teaches them essential life skills and values.”

“We are looking forward to hear their good stories as they enjoy their experience at the burger shop,” he added.

KidZania Manila is set to open in 2015 and will offer children the chance to try out a hundred or so different jobs available in the city-like indoor play space.

KidZania first started out in Mexico in 1997 and has since become a popular attraction in more than a dozen countries.
