Things to Do with Kids in Dallas This Holiday Season: The Only KidZania in the U.S. Turns Seven

Birthday experiences begin this November, with 15% off tickets through December 31.

DALLAS, Nov. 11, 2026 — KidZania Dallas, the only KidZania location in the United States, is celebrating its 7th birthday this November with a citywide party for kids and families. The kid-sized indoor city inside Stonebriar Centre in Frisco will add special birthday activities on some of its most popular experiences.

Since opening its doors in November 2019, KidZania Dallas has welcomed families from across North Texas and beyond to a place where children ages 4–14 don't just watch — they take the lead. Inside the 100,000-square-foot city, kids step into real-world careers, from pilot and physician to chef, TV host, and stylist, earning kidZos, managing their own money, and building confidence, independence, and teamwork through immersive role-play.

This November, that city is throwing a birthday party.

From the first day of the celebration, children can:

• Walk the runway and strike a special 6–7 pose at the Fashion Studio
• Join the Birthday Dance Party right at the Main Plaza
• Design special 6–7 birthday cards at the Creative Design Studio
• Try the latest trends and create their own content at the Influencer Studio
• Meet the RightZKeepers, KidZania characters, and snap a birthday photo

The party grows with new birthday experiences across the city:

• Become a podcast host and talk about the latest trends at the Podcast Studio
• Host a special birthday broadcast at the TV Studio
• Create a snow globe to take home at the Experiential Store
• Leave a birthday wish for KidZania at the Wishing Tree

The seasonal programming blends naturally into KidZania's everyday careers, giving kids and parents something new to discover while still enjoying all of their favorite activities — and giving first-time visitors the perfect reason to come see what makes KidZania unlike any other kids' attraction in the country.

"I still remember our opening day seven years ago. The excitement, the kids running around, trying on uniforms, discovering all the different things they could do," said Natalia Znakharenko, CEO of KidZania USA. "And now, seven years later, some of those same kids are coming back as teenagers, bringing their younger brothers and sisters. For me, that's what makes KidZania so special. We get to be a small part of their childhood, help them discover their interests, build confidence and maybe even inspire their future. It's wonderful to see families grow with us. And this birthday is really about them, all the kids and families who have been part of our journey. I'm so happy we get to celebrate it together."

A City for Every Occasion

For many North Texas children, the first visit to KidZania Dallas happens on a school field trip. Every year, thousands of students step into the city with their classmates to explore real-world careers, strengthen teamwork and communication, and learn financial literacy by earning and managing their own kidZos – KidZania currency. And very often, that first visit is just the beginning.

After the field trip, kids return with parents to discover the careers they didn't get to try, share the experience with their families, and take the lead in a city built just for them.

KidZania Dallas has also become one of the most popular birthday party destinations in DFW, where the birthday child and their friends become firefighters, pilots, chefs, and TV hosts for the day, creating a celebration they will remember for years. During holidays, school breaks, and long weekends, seasonal programming gives families even more reasons to come back and find something new.

Whether it's a field trip, a birthday, a holiday break, or simply a family day out, there is always a reason to visit KidZania. Seven years in, the doors are open and the city is ready to welcome every family, again and again.
