KidZania ZanKs Heroes

At KidZania London, our city relies on our key workers to keep everyone safe and healthy just like any other city. We’re proud of those who have kept our world moving through the COVID-19 pandemic and want to say ZanK-U for everything they have done!

KidZania ZanKs Heroes!

From 1st October when we were able to reopen, KidZania London said ZanKs Heroes! Changes were made throughout the city, including a rise in salary for key working professions, daily ZanK-U parades and lots of kool facts in each activity!

Our celebration also included adaptations from our brand partners demonstrating how they have adapted their businesses in response to the pandemic, such as Mission Deli’s Care Box Collections and Metro’s journalists covering the developing stories, the perfect way for kids to play and learn whilst understanding the effects of COVID-19 on the world.
