(SPOT.ph) KidZania Manila is an 8,000-square-meter space that lets kids ages four to 17 play grown-up roles for a day. They can choose from up to 63 offices, restaurants, retail stores, and other establishments where they can become waiters, hotel receptionists, reporters, doctors, and anyone they want to be in a make-believe city. Unfortunately, it's a strictly kids-only area. If you've always felt a bit jealous of your nieces and nephews' adventures there, now's your chance because on October 20, KidZania Manila holds its Back to KidZ event which adults (ages 18 and above) can join.

From 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., grown-ups can go back to the days when they once dreamt of becoming radio DJs and firefighters. It takes after the new "kidulting" trend where adults reinvent their most cherished childhood memories to escape from the demands of “adulting” even for a while. KidZania Manila has also added throwback activities and treats exclusively for the one-night-only Back to KidZ event, such as playing '90s hits all throughout the play area and offering rainbow scratch cards.

Back to KidZ is on October 20, 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tickets, priced at P880, are available at Kidzania Manila or through Kidzania's website. KidZania is at Park Triangle North, 11th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City.
