Seven edutainment parks, similar in style to that of KidZania, are coming to Saudi Arabia as part of a US$133m (€120.2, £85.7m) nationwide project.

The 10-year development of KidzMondo – for which the first opening is scheduled for 2017 – in Riyadh, will see the development of small-scale cities built for and operated by children aged 2-14.

A franchise agreement for rights to KidzMondo in Saudi Arabia has been signed by Suleiman Bin Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid, CEO of Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid and Sons, and Ali Kazma, chair of Kidz Holding and founder of KidzMondo.

Like Kidzania, KidzMondo children are provided with an adult working environment designed to educate and empower, with role-play sessions across multiple professions, crafted to ensure they learn essential life skills.

The KidzMondo brand was founded in 2010 and has locations in several countries, including Lebanon, Turkey and the UAE.
