Babyboss Taipei
Our second day saw ourselves spending time at Babyboss City. BabyBoss City is Taiwan’s first simulation city made for children. The city is designed to create an environment for children to play and learn at the same time. There are 50 professions and over 70 different occupations waiting for kids to explore.
Remember to bring your passport along as foreigners are entitled to 20% discount. They are open from 10am to 8pm. You can choose to pay for a half day (10-3pm or 3 to 8pm) or a full day ticket.If you are there in the morning, they allow you to buy a half day ticket and later top up to a full day ticket if your child enjoys the place. However you must do so by 1pm. We reached about 11am and by 1pm , we only tried 2 occupations. Therefore we topped up to a full day ticket instead and managed to complete 7 jobs by 7pm.
Once you entered the “city”, you are not allow to leave and reenter. There is a food outlet and restrooms inside the city.
All the occupations have scheduled starting times and usually allow no more than 10-12 kids per session. So you can see parents cracking their brains to plan which occupations should their kids try. Some even dashed from one occupation to another hoping to make it into the waiting queue.
So what does trying out a occupation means? Let take the flight attendant as an example :
- The child will be ushered into a room to put on a flight attendant uniform. The staff will be on hand to assist the child if necessary.
- A briefing will be conducted for the children on what to do when up on the mock aircraft. Parents are invited up to mock aircraft to act as passengers.
- Once ready, the children will be lead out of the room with their luggage and go up the aircraft. The parents will follow.
- On the aircraft, the children will do some serving (of magazines).
- After that, the parents and children will get off the aircraft. There will be enough time for parents to take photos of their child.
- They are ushered back to the room to remove their uniform. Babyboss dollars and certificate will be issued to them.
Sound interesting? Our child definitely enjoys this place.
