KidZania Fukuoka Tickets

KidZania Fukuoka brings the celebrated children’s work experience city to Kyushu, inside the LaLaport Fukuoka shopping complex. Like its Tokyo and Koshien siblings, it is a two thirds scale town where kids take on real jobs with real uniforms and equipment, earn the in house kidZos currency and discover that work, at the right size, is the best game going.

A day on the job

Sessions are timed, and inside the city children move between dozens of pavilions run with corporate partners, trying everything from emergency services and food preparation to media, transport and technology roles, each activity running around thirty minutes. Wages are earned, banked or spent on site, and the economy feels real enough that children take it entirely seriously. Adults watch from outside the pavilions, which is both the rule and, for most parents, the entertainment.

Worth knowing

Activities run mainly in Japanese, but the tasks are hands on and visual, and staff are used to guiding visiting children through. The complex is fully indoors, making it a reliable plan in any weather, and the giant Gundam statue outside LaLaport Fukuoka has become a landmark worth the photo stop on the way in.

Getting there

LaLaport Fukuoka stands in the Naka district south of Hakata. Direct buses run from Hakata Station in around fifteen to twenty minutes, and the complex is also walkable from Takeshita Station on the JR Kagoshima Line. Parking is plentiful for drivers.
