Cebu Pacific Unveils New Destination: KidZania Manila
I vividly remember my very first travel experience at the age of 14, when our dad brought us to the magical world of Ocean Park in Hong Kong.
The twins were still babies back then, so they had no choice but to stay home with mom. I never got the chance to fly again after that. Still, I keep hoping.
For some, flying to new places is an escape from the rivers of work or the doldrums of everyday life. For others, it serves a purpose, like surprising a loved one on their birthday or starting a new job in a new city.
Travel opens the eyes to new adventures. Things happen, opportunities unfold, and discoveries are made. True enough, Sir Lance Gokongwei.
So when I received an invitation from Cebu Pacific, my excitement skyrocketed. I thought I would be seeing a new destination… and I did!
Cebu Pacific, in partnership with KidZania Manila, believes in the importance of education and meaningful experiences, while also showing children that life can be a wonderful journey—one adventure after another.
Children aged 3 to 14 who dream of becoming pilots can now experience the thrill of takeoff and landing in a safe, interactive environment. Those inspired to become flight attendants can also get a glimpse of the cabin crew experience and what it’s like to serve onboard.
Through this collaboration, Cebu Pacific introduces kids to a world of fun, learning, and the airline’s vibrant culture.
They are looking forward to giving young kids the chance to experience checking in at the airport, receiving their first boarding pass, and being transported to exciting new destinations.
Both kids and parents can also look forward to experiencing state-of-the-art technology at the brand-new Cebu Pacific Aviation Academy, designed to replicate the look and feel of an actual Cebu Pacific flight experience.
“KidZania Manila is definitely different from any theme park or educational entertainment available in the Philippines because of its concept of role-playing,” explained KidZania Philippines Governor Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas.
“KidZania is a nation ruled by children. An adult companion is NOT allowed inside KidZania.”
“Inside KidZania, you’ll become part of a child-sized play city where there are over a hundred roles that children can experience. They need to work in order to earn KidZos, the official KidZania currency, which they can spend in various establishments around the city.
And when they run out of play money, they can’t simply buy more—just like in real life. If they want to improve their earning capacity, they can even enroll in KidZania University, where they can pursue different levels of achievement, from degrees to higher certifications.
Kids will also discover a wide range of interests as they explore different facilities such as a stadium, a TV network, an aviation academy, an art academy, and a hospital. Whatever their interests may be, they will have the opportunity to try them out and role-play the careers they’ve always dreamed of.
I remember my previous blog post about a certain PISO play entertainment for kids, well, this is a hundred-fold better!”
The play space alone spans over 8,000 square meters, imagine the entire facility, almost a hectare in size, including its back-of-house areas.
Even more impressive, the aircraft used for the flight simulator is a real plane, transported all the way from Arizona.
As for admission, final pricing is still to be announced next year, but it is expected to be around ₱1,000 more or less. They are also planning Pro Bono programs and corporate sponsorships that will make it possible for underprivileged children to visit at special rates. Special pricing will likewise be offered for group visits and public schools.
