A special place in the world of children's centers is occupied by Kidburg. This is a whole children's country, which is worth telling in more detail.
City of professions
Kidburg Children's Entertainment Center in St. Petersburg opened in 2011 and since then has been popular with both locals and visitors. This children's country is located in the Grand Canyon shopping center and occupies a huge space. The main goal of the center is not only to entertain children, but also to introduce them to the world of professions and even to instill some business qualities.
Once in Kidburg through customs, the guys get documents and special money. They can be spent at your own discretion - for entertainment or for the study of any specialty, for example, a hairdresser, doctor, policeman, etc. For each profession, and there are more than fifty of them in the “city”, there is a separate zone and its own bright scenery.
Having mastered their favorite specialty, the guys get the opportunity not only to return the spent "currency", but also to earn more on their own.
Learning lasts less than half an hour, and children do not get bored for a minute, carried away by such a real believable game. In the children's city there is a hospital, a bakery, a police department, a hairdresser, shops, a bank, an airport and even mass media in which children can work, feel like adults, and understand the features and nuances of a particular type of activity.
This city of professions can be visited both individually and as a group, which, by the way, will allow children to master the skills of working in a team.
Kidburg Impressions
Reviews about the Children's Country entertainment center are generally enthusiastic, although parents leave them, of course. But they all emphasize that the children were satisfied and would like to visit the unusual city of professions again. The reviews noted a lot of interesting activities that are offered to the child, and good organization (which is important in children's centers), and the professionalism of teachers and leading master classes.
True, adults who have visited Kidburg point out that it is not so interesting here for very young children - 2-3-year-old crumbs, as older children who enthusiastically try on different social roles.
For babies
Children from one to three years old are also not deprived of entertainment. In large gaming centers, special rooms with soft flooring, numerous toys and caring educators are equipped for them. For example, in the center “Generation NEXT” there are developmental classes for babies from 8 months old, and for those older, there is a preparation program for school.
Exciting educational games for kids are offered by such centers as “Peanuts”, “Semitsvetik”, “Begamik”, creative studio “Cat” and many others.
Club "CityOk"
It is a bit like Kidburg, only focused on kids. And the crumbs, which have not yet grown to the more serious children's country of the Grand Canyon, can “work” as traffic police inspectors, become locomotive drivers on a miniature railway and ride a car, while getting acquainted with the rules of the road.
And in “Gorodok” teachers conduct preparation groups for kindergarten and school, art studios, joint classes for mothers with babies, and much more.
There is also just entertainment - a trampoline loved by all children, slides and a pool with foam balls.
Game rooms
Quite often, parents bring their children to the mall. However, shopping for little fidgets is uninteresting for them, and they would gladly have stayed somewhere to play, so that adults could calmly and without rushing to make purchases. For this, there are children's playrooms. St. Petersburg, like any big city, is famous for its giant shopping centers, in which parents are given the opportunity to occupy their kids for the duration of the shopping. So, where should you look first?
Children's entertainment centers in St. Petersburg are equipped in almost all major retail outlets. And some of them are so popular and loved by children that parents specially come to the shopping center to give their baby the opportunity to play exciting games, ride a slide, ride a trampoline and climb stairs.
These include, for example, the Smeshariki game zone in DLT or Kids Land.
