Trip to Kidzania Tokyo

The Kidzania is located near at Toyosu train station. It is so easy to get there.


SCHEDULE:
12:30 – Meet at main gate for an immediate 12:40 departure to Yokosuka Chuo
Take the train TO Kidzania. Please bring yen for the train. If your child requires a ticket, they are usually half of the published fare rounded to the nearest 10 yen.
PLEASE MEET AT MAIN GATE @ 12:30 so we can walk to the Yokosuka Chuo. We will leave the main gate (by ATMs) @ 12:40p prompt.
PLEASE eat lunch before coming!!
School gets out at 10:45a that day so there should be plenty of time between school and our trip!
If your child wants to bring something to entertain herself on the train that is okay, but please know that you are responsible for it. At least one parent is coming from every family so that works out.

There is an 8 minute walk (according to website) to Kidzania. Plan on eating an early dinner. The kids won't want to stop what they are doing to eat, but any job that they work at Kidzania that involves food they can eat the product of their work so there might be small snacks at Kidzania in that respect. I will need to pick up the tickets there before hand.
Our shift is from 4-9pm. The girls will be exhausted when it is over!!

RETURN TRIP HOME – BUS!! I am having the Yokosuka ITT bus pick us up (since I do not want to navigate home with exhausted children on the train and the tolls are crazy high to get there). This fee is included in our cookie $$. I told the bus to leave Yokosuka @ 7:15pm, and I was told pending any traffic delays or accidents, they will be there @ 9pm to drive us home!! Yeah! I imagine that by the time we get to the bus and the bus driver starts driving, we will be home around 10:30pm. I plan on asking him to drop us off at the main gate (inside) where I imagine most of our cars will be. After the 9pm end time, we need to hurry back to the bus because we are charged by the hour!! If we take too long, it will end up costing us more!!

SUMMARY:
Bring yen/Pasmo/Suica for train ride TO Kidzania
Bring sack dinner (adults and kids) for early dinner (plan on eating around 3:30p)
Bring something to do on train ride… :) I imagine that they will crash in the bus on the way home!
Adults only – camera
Adults – you can walk around with your child (but you cannot participate in their "job"). I have been told that there is an adult lounge upstairs that you can view Kidzania and relax too. Another adult who went in the past said to bring a book! :)
