Wannado City, Sunrise, Florida, will close January 12. Citing financial instability, the six-year-old children’s role-playing attraction will lay off 314 employees.
Wannado City was developed through a partnership between Mexico-based CIE Amusement Parks and The Mills Corporation, former owner of Sunrise’s Sawgrass Mills.
Another Mexican operator, Kidzania, is now planning to open similar attractions in the US, having recently appointed a new president and chief global marketing officer, Cammie Dunaway.
