now in around thirty countries
KidZania’s own current pages place it in roughly 18–22 countries, not “around thirty countries.” The article appears to have confused countries with cities/facilities.
Full reasoning
Current official KidZania pages do not support the claim that the company is operating in "around thirty countries."
- KidZania India’s Global Presence page says the brand has 29 operational parks across 22 countries.
- KidZania India’s About KidZania page says it has a presence across 29 cities in 22 countries.
- KidZania Delhi NCR’s FAQ says KidZania has 24 facilities in 19 countries.
- KidZania Istanbul’s about page says it operates in 18 countries and 27 cities.
Those official pages are somewhat inconsistent with each other on the exact current total, but they all agree on the important point: KidZania is in the high teens / low twenties of countries, not "around thirty countries." The most plausible mistake is that the post mixed up countries with cities/facilities/parks, since one official page does list 29 cities.
Because the claim specifically says countries, it is inaccurate as written.
