Back to Kidzania: Pet Wellbeing Centre Review

amomentwithfranca · 29 August 2017 · 40 Comments

We love KidZania London. Since our first visit, we have been back a few times but those visits were with Bella only. This time we were asked to come back and try one of their new activities: the Pet Wellbeing Centre. I was really excited to go back with all the family. If you follow my blog, you would know that when we all visited the first time, Sienna was just a baby. I think she was about 10 months old. She loved it and we did everything that she was allowed to do but she was very little so it was a bit limited for her. However, this time it was great to bring her back and see how much fun she could have at almost 3 years old.

Sienna was really looking forward to this visit and Bella was also excited to try some activities with her sister as well as trying other activities that she has not had the chance to do before. Also, she really wanted to try the new Pet Wellbeing Center activity.

As always, the arrival is just amazing! It feels like you are about to take a plane as you have to check in and cross immigration which is a lot of fun. We were all given our security wristbands which are scanned when you do an activity within KidZania, only work for the 4 hours that we are allowed to be there.

Because we have already visited, as soon as we got inside we wanted to make the most of our time there. The new activity, the Pet Wellbeing Centre was not open when we arrived as it was on the first floor which is open from 11 am. We did some activities on the ground floor while we were waiting.

We decided to do all the activities that we could all do together or activities that Bella and Sienna could do together first.

Sightseeing Bus Tour

The first activity we did was the Sightseeing Bus Tour which was something we could all do. Doing this first was a good idea =as it takes you around the venue so you have a better idea of what activities are around so then you can visit after.

Painting School

This is a place where your kids can sit down and paint whatever they fancy to. It is a free, unsupervised activity. You just go and grab an apron, some paper, brushes and paint. It was something nice for them to do together.

Courier Service

Bella has done this activity before but she was keen to do it again. We all walked with her while she was delivering her parcel. Sienna was actually excited to walk along with her sister. She did a great job as she delivered the parcel on time.

Police Station

Bella didn’t do this activity but Nick, Sienna and Bella enjoyed getting inside the cell to see how it feels to be behind bars, LOL!

Pet Wellbeing Centre

After visiting the Police Station it was now already 11am, so we went upstairs to queue outside the Pet Wellbeing Centre. Bella loves animals so this activity was going to be really interesting for her.

Your kids will become experts in their field learning how to identify and address animal welfare needs. Champions will learn about good pet nutrition in Lily’s Kitchen and perform surgery on a patient in PDSA’s Pet Hospital. They will gain an understanding of the charity and have the opportunity to donate any KidZo’s to help save pets’ lives. Champions will receive a special activity pack and a sample of food in return.

See below the main features of this activity:

  • Duration: 20 minutes
  • Capacity: 8 kids
  • Age: 4+
  • Charge: 8 Kidzo’s (KidZania’s own currency)

Bella was excited about this new activity. She was really interested in learning more about being a Pet Wellbeing Champion.

While she was at this activity, Sienna and Nick went to find some activities suitable for 1 to 3 years old. They went to RightZKeeper’s Residence and then to the Kidergarten. Sienna had so much fun there. I can tell she enjoyed it much more this time. After this, they went to the Dance Club! She danced a lot apparently and had a really great time there!

When Bella was finished, we all went to the cafe right next to the Pet Wellbeing Centre to eat something as we were very hungry.

Bella really enjoyed this new activity. She said that she learned about how to take care of pets, look at x-rays and learn what it takes to be a vet. It was very cool.

H&M Fashion Centre

For her next activity, Bella went to the H&M Fashion Centre. She is very creative and styling a mannequin. She did this very quickly, earning some Kidzos in the process.

Theatre

Our next stop was the Theatre where we went to watch the show put on by the kids doing the Acting Academy activity. Before we went in, we saw a piano outside so the girls sat down for a few minutes to have a go.

Kidzania Store

After earning some Kidzos, Bella decided to get something at their store. She hose a lovely purse and was very proud to be able to buy something with money she had earned! Bless her!

We really had a great time. The 4 hours really passed very quickly. For a more thorough review please read my first blog post about Kidzania or even better watch our video with our first experience. 

Have you visited Kidzania? What do you think of the Pet Wellbeing Centre? Would you like your kids to learn more about being a Pet Wellbeing Champion?

*Disclosure: we were invited to visit Kidzania and try the Pet Wellbeing Centre as their new activity for the purpose of this review. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
