If you have kids, you have to bring them here. They will work and earn their own money, get credit cards and get to be grown ups. Great for them.
If you've been to Disney World or any other real attraction park, please go ahead and lower your expectations. And then lower them some more. And then a bit more. Once you've done that, this might be fun for your 3-8 year old kids. if they're not the picky type. They can play at "working" on different "jobs", earning "money", all in a fairly safe and enclosed environment.
Diversity is a fantastic concept. Within one of the largest, newest (and nicest) malls in Bogotá, Diversity offers a unique and interactive kind of experience for kids, where they learn about the adult life, performing "jobs" (to earn money) and going to attractions (to spend money) together with the normal services a city has (banks, hospitals, transportation, etc.) My kids loved it, specially the oldest who is 11 and speaks good Spanish. It can get crowded and broader availability of English-speaking staff would broaden its appeal. Ah, there is a parents' "day-care" area with internet Café, where I'm writing this review from :)
My 4 year old kid could go there every weekend if possible! She absolutely loves the place. This place offer kids a learning experience while they play. Kids can experience the "grown up" world and as an adult you can see what their preference in terms of roles (firefighter, cook, fashion model, pilot, etc.)What I don't like about this place are the long lines, specially for some attractions. My advise is if you can: go during weekdays and avoid weekends because it could be overcrowded.If you go with your child be ready to wait and wait and wait since you cant go with them to every attraction. The good news is: if your kid is older than7 or 8, he or she might go through all the attractions by themselves while you wait in the parents room, where they have TV, hair saloon and other staff to keep adults entertained.
This is a tough place to review. It's unlike any children's museum that I've ever been too where there are interactive experiences where children act out professions in a unique way. For example my daughter went to the firefighter zone where she watched a video where she learned about being a firefighter, then put on an outfit, slid down a pole and slide and then hopped on a fire truck that drove around the facility and then operated a fire hose to put out a fake fire - how great is that? BUT in 2 hours she was only able to do two attractions. Considering that the target audience is small children, a 45 min wait per attraction is absolutely ridiculous. Every children's museum I've been too prior to this has areas where children can immediately engage in an activity. That said they rarely have activities as awesome as this place but there has to be a better way to speed up lines or some sort of Fast Pass system. Most of the reviews were 5 plus stars so maybe I'm the only one bothered by excessive waits but I think it's excessive to require small children to wait this long.
For young children, this place is awesome, but my twelve year old some struggled to enjoy much of it.This place is best described as an amusement park.My younger daughter and her cousins/friends loved this place. They enjoyed the attractions. Each one had a timer counting down to when it next ends/starts. This is helpful for both the parents and kids. The kids looked for ones that started in a couple minutes and the parents know how long they will be inside there.The attractions follow two different categories. Ones where the kids learn something earn money called divis. Ones that the kids just enjoy themselves cost divis. If the kids run out of divis, they just have to go to an attraction that pays first.When you pay to enter, every member puts on an RFID wristband that came be taken off (it's secured by one of those magnetic security tags like you see on clothes in the department store). Each time a child enters or leaves an attraction, their wristband gets scanned. All a parent has to do is scan their wristband at a computer station and it will display a map with the last known location of each person in your party along with the time their wristband was scanned. Of course, this is only as reliable as the RFID scanners and the scanners are getting old.On the second floor, they have a parent daycare with TV, internet, Nintendo's, relaxation stations, and a cooking class where you get to sample the food.At the exit, which is very segregated from the attractions so a child would have to wander pretty far off to get there in the first place, the children are not allowed to leave without the leader in their group. Likewise, the leader is not allowed to leave without all the kids in their group (something to keep in mind when you specify who is the leader in your group).For the price, the place is fun, but only for younger kids.
This is a mini world for kids to try out 'real life'. Here you can go to the bank, shop in the supermarket, be a fireman, read the news on TV or in Radio all in one place. As well as learn how to treat ill animals, make paper, pasta etc. etc. You earn money or spent money on the hair dresser or other stuff.Spent easily more than 3 hours where your kids try out many of the 40+ attracions. A must visit for families with children.The adults can look or go to the parents daycare with internet, cafe, news papers upstairs. Buy fotos from the different things or the video from the TV readings.
Take it from someone who lives in Southern California. This place is better than Disnelayland or any other amusement park for kids. The best part of Divercity is the interaction between the children and the attraction. My daughter enjoyed everything about this place. While parents aren't allowed to participate in the attractions. This place is very organized, clean and fun for all kids. Plus they're learning about different occupations in a fun way!
this is awesome place for you and your kids. I love it. I always bring my daughter when we travel to colombia. dont listen the negative comments. they dont know anything about this place. is not expensive.
Brilliant place for kids to learn, play and enjoy. And to parents it is fun too. It is a mini city where kids of most ages can pretend to be an adult citizen and doing with adults do: work in factories, technology, hair dresser, nursery, farm, fire fighting, hospital, telecoms companies,supermarket, etc. then they get money from work, save it in he bank, withdraw it with your debit card from real cash machine, spend money in shops,,having a treat, etc. amazing detail, kids do pretend play that feels very real, and they learn. Never seen anything like it in any other country we visited, so, travellers with kids on bogota or Medellin, you must take your kids to this place.
