Kent Bicycles' Role at KidZania
Kent's partnership has paved the way for a bicycle repair and testing lab within KidZania's Dallas location. This lab provides an exciting opportunity for kids to become "bike technicians" for the day. Children can work with real bikes, learning to identify parts, perform basic repairs, and understand the mechanics behind each component. The experience combines education with fun and hands-on discovery, allowing kids to gain a foundational understanding of bicycles. In addition to repair tasks, children also get to test-ride bicycles from a unique Kent collection, giving them the excitement of riding in a supervised, secure environment. This aspect of the program brings full-circle learning, from understanding bike mechanics to experiencing the joy of riding, instilling both practical skills and a passion for cycling.
