It’s hip-hop culture week at KidZania, the bayside Tokyo theme park where kids get to try their hands at adult occupations. The week sees kids learning the basics of creating graffiti letters from the experts, using airbrush guns. They also get to participate in a talent show where they strut their stuff on the microphone and dance floor. VIP DJs and graffiti experts will be on hand to impart their streetwise knowledge to the emerging B-boys. Afterwards they can take part in the usual KidZania fun, which allows kids to experience being anything from a banker to a burger chef.

KidZania, May 20-24.
