First KidZania in USA Now Open in Frisco

Dallas/Fort Worth

KidZania USA is now open in Frisco at Stonebriar Centre! It’s a city run by kids for kids! I will admit that I was a bit skeptical, but after experiencing it first hand, I am a believer. Here’s what you can expect at this one-of-a-kind family attraction located in the heart of North Texas.

I love that my kids can learn through role-play. It’s an immersive experience unlike anything I have seen in our area – and that says a lot with the number of fun things for kids to do in Dallas. Kids are learning while having fun away from tablets, gaming devices, and television. Honestly, I am jealous I didn’t grow up with something like this. The staff told me they plan to host adult-only events in the future! How fun will that be? Keep reading to learn more! 

I was given complimentary passes but all opinions are my own and are 100% honest.

Know before you go: KidZania USA

Where is KidZania USA located? 

KidZania Dallas is now open at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco, TX. It’s located on the second floor of the Stonebriar Centre near the Dillard’s wing and across from the kid play area.

How much does KidZania cost? 

The number one question I get asked is “Is it worth the price?” On opening day, the prices were initially set higher than some families expected. That being said, KidZania recently changed their pricing for an all-day pass (subject to change) to the following:

  • Children Under 4 Years: FREE
  • Children 4-5 Years: $14.95
  • Children 6-14 Years: $39.95
  • Adults 15+ Years: $14.95

Keep in mind parents can drop off kids 8 and up and shop in the mall or hang out elsewhere. Kids are given RFID security bracelets with GPS tracking devices. They can not leave without that assigned parent with them. Kids 8 years old and under must be accompanied by a guardian and remain in the city at all times.

Tickets can be pre-purchased online or at the counter if space is available. 

Is it worth the price? 

Back to the question if this experience is worth the ticket prices. My honest opinion is yes, it is worth the expense. After seeing all the hands-on real-life experiences my six-year-old experienced, I was convinced. The attention to detail is incredible. All areas are super clean and the employees are polite and highly engaged with the children. Surely, this level of service will stick beyond the opening season. The company culture is positive and 100% focused on empowering kids to take on various roles and responsibilities throughout the city.

Is there an annual pass? 

No, there is not an option to purchase annual passes. However, they do offer B•KidZanian PaZZport membership program that offers perks and benefits. Parents can sign-up for their kids at the PaZZport Office.

Things to do at KidZania

Watch as my daughter talks about her experience at KidZania (fast forward to 2:23) 

Once inside KidZania USA, kids and parents can explore the city. There are several professions to choose from. At each, kids get paid kidZos (KidZania’s currency). With this money, they can spend, save or invest. There is a gift shop that kids can use their kidZos to spend money on. Note: There is also a KidZania merchandise store that takes real money at check out.

What do parents do during their visit to KidZania USA?

One of the goals of KidZania is to teach children how to be independent thinkers. Parents are asked to sit outside and either watch or find something else to do. Each activity takes approx. 20 minutes. Coming from someone who has worked with children, I think this concept is great. Parents can still see their kids through the glass from a distance to take photos. After each experience, my daughter filled me in on what they learned. I didn’t feel left out at all. I took a few moments to walk around and enjoy my cup of coffee in peace. It was nice! 

Parents can also take advantage of the Parent Lounge located on the second floor or frequent any of the restaurants on-site. Dining options include Pie Five Pizza, MOOYAH Burger, Happy Taco, 7-Eleven and more, where cash and credit cards are accepted.   

There are plenty of benches and tables for parents to take a break. I will go back and work while my daughter plays. With the tracking devices located in their bracelets, parents can check in with staff who will locate the last activity their kids enrolled in.

Is KidZania good for toddlers? 

Initially, my answer was no because the price was too expensive for the experience. There is a Toddler Neighborhood area for them to play in the grocery store and a few other areas. Knowing my toddler gets bored easily, he would’ve been done in less than an hour and wanted to chase his older sibling around. I opted to leave him home so I could fully focus on my six-year-old daughter. I think KidZania is best suited for kids 5 and up or mature four-year-olds. Now that kids under four years old are free, I may bring back my little man while my daughter finishes the activities she did not get to during the first visit.

Instagram post 17976236731290460 Today was one of the hardest days of my life. I said goodbye to one of the biggest cheerleaders in my life, my grandmother. Her laugh was infectious and she spoke loud and with her hands - something I do too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She told me Women can do anything! That I could do anything!  When I first stated blogging years ago, one of my favorite posts was about a phone call we had that forever shaped my life. 
Her message was clear: Stop and Smell the Roses. Forgive. Step outside your routine. Doesn’t sweat the small stuff. And for crying out loud: Have a sense of humor! 
I will miss you and love you always, sweet Grandmother! 🌹 https://modernmomlife.com/stop-and-smell-the-roses/
Instagram post 17892232828433383 THROWBACK:: When I played with my DSLR camera and captured these photos. Sure, they aren’t the most advanced but I love everything about them. Seeing Christmas through the eyes of kids is one of life’s greatest joys. On the blog, I’m teaching you how to take your own photos in front of the tree with your camera. Capture these moments before time passes you by! (This was two years ago 😢😭) #LinkinProfile #babiesdontkeep #Christmasjoy #diyphotoshoot #diyphotography #ChristmasTrees

Instagram post 18094593274110463 Had the best time at @kidzaniausa in Frisco! It’s a city run by Kids and open to the public! ⠀

The level of attention to detail is incredible. Every activity is hands on and provides children the opportunity to explore and try out different jobs. We will definitely be back! There’s so many activities so it’s definitely worth every penny of the admission ticket. ⠀
⠀
Things to note:⠀
✍️ There is a toddler area but most activities are geared towards the 5 and up age group. ⠀
✍️ Parents do not come inside the activities. Matter of fact, parents can drop off their kids (8 and up) and go shopping at the mall if they like. ⠀
✍️ Mooyah, Happy Taco and Pie Five Pizza are on site. ⠀
✍️ Passes are good for four hours of play. ⠀
✍️ Passport Perks are available ⠀
✍️ Adults have to pay too! ⠀
