Wannado City
Wannado City was an indoor role-playing amusement center at the Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was a property of Grupo CIE. Proclaiming itself as a place "where kids can do what they wanna do", it was a child-sized representation of a metropolis, where children aged 2–14 could participate in different careers and other lifelike activities.
Luis Javier Laresgoiti Fernandez created the concept in 1996, when he opened a similar park in Mexico City named "La Ciudad de los Niños", now known as KidZania. Luis sold his shares and left Kidzania to open Wannado City at Sawgrass Mills Mall in Florida.
