What Makes the Experience Center Unique
Experience Centers at KidZania Delhi and Mumbai aim to connect children with Madhya Pradesh’s natural heritage, biodiversity, rivers, and cultural legacy in fun and creative ways. These centers not only offer exciting experiences to children but also inspire families to explore Madhya Pradesh’s tourist destinations. Two major virtual experiences are offered—Jungle Safari and River Rafting. Children enjoy a virtual jeep safari through Madhya Pradesh’s dense forests, national parks, and wildlife. The Kids can also experience the thrill of riding the waves of MP’s rivers while discovering aquatic life and natural beauty.
To make these experiences more realistic, the center uses Virtual Reality, motion-sensing technology, environmental simulation, and 3D effects. Children wear green safari jackets to feel like real explorers. Each experience lasts about 10 minutes, followed by a short quiz. Those answering correctly receive souvenirs and KidZania currency (KidZos) from MP Tourism. Kids also get to design their own personalised postcards, which they can print and take home.
Additionally, MP Tourism distributes special giveaways such as custom stickers, diaries, and colored pencils, making the experience memorable and engaging.
