==Overview==
The Kidzania Mumbai kids park is a real lifestyle theme based games zone for kids aged 4 to 16 years. The park is designed as a miniature city with realistic buildings and structures. The theme park engages kids through roleplaying roles and accomplishing tasks related to those roles. The fun and benefit is paid in task accomplishments.

Children can roleplay as a fireman, a radio jockey or a doctor, perform duties and get credits. Unique to KidZania Mumbai, children can also experience local establishments like the Bollywood Acting Academy, The Pottery Studio and the [[Dabbawala|Dabbawalla]] service (boxed lunch delivery).<ref>{{cite web |title=Mumbai gets its very own Kidzania.
