Wannado City

Wannado City is an indoor role-playing amusement center in the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. It is property of Grupo CIE. A second location in Bergen County, New Jersey at the future Meadowlands Xanadu, is scheduled to open by 2009. Billed as "where kids can do what they wannado," it is a child-sized representation of a metropolis where children aged 2-14 participate in different careers and other lifelike activities.

Careers in which the "kidizens" can participate include firefighter, police officer, lawyer, TV reporter, and singer. They can use issued money, "Wongas", to set up bank accounts.

Money System

The system is that by participating in the different activities, you can collect money which you can use to make cookies, make bracelets, and go to the Wonka Factory. For each activity, you can get around 20 Wongas. You are also given 150 Wongas to begin with. There are also ATMs where you can withdraw your money or you can make a deposit at one of two banks, so you don't have to carry all your money around.

ecurity

When you pay, the children and parents are given RFID security bracelets. Throughout the park there are "stands" where you take off your bracelet and it shows you all of your parties locations on your arm.
