Exchange City

Over the break, one of our classmates visited Ciudad de los Ninos in Mexico City. It is a reenactment of a life-sized city, where kids can have jobs, drive cars, and earn money. It sounds amazing!

I did some research and found out that the company that runs this place is called KidZania, and they have other locations in many places around the world, including Asia and Europe. You can read about the company here. Unfortunately, they don't have any locations in the United States.

Mr. Bluestein did some research, too. He found a place called Exchange City that is the same type of place. There is one in Missouri and another one in Rhode Island.

You can watch a video of Exchange City below.


Leave a comment if you'd like to visit Exchange City! What would you most want to do there?

If we were to run a city like this at Gillispie, how might we do that? And what would ours be called?
