Alpro Pharmacy’s KidZania Launch: Fun in The Pharmacy

Irfan Kamid

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a pharmacist? Now, your kids can find out—without the years of study! Alpro Pharmacy has just unveiled its latest—and perhaps most exciting—outlet at KidZania Kuala Lumpur. This isn’t just another store opening. It’s an adventure, a learning experience, and a playful peek into the world of health, all rolled into one.

A Unique Pharmacy Experience for the Littlest Health Enthusiasts

Alpro Pharmacy, Malaysia’s largest prescription pharmacy chain, has done something extraordinary. They’ve set up shop in the buzzing, kid-sized city of KidZania. In this miniature world, children get to experience over 70 professions. From piloting planes to anchoring news, KidZania is where imagination meets real-life skills. And now, thanks to Alpro, your child can don a white coat and step into the role of a pharmacist.

Why is this such a big deal? Because it’s not just play—it’s a meaningful way for kids to learn about the crucial role pharmacists play in our lives. And let’s be honest, when was the last time your child asked to play pharmacist? Probably never. But that’s about to change.

The Science of Fun: Hands-On Learning at Alpro Pharmacy

At the heart of Alpro’s KidZania outlet is its interactive, hands-on experience. Children are invited to participate in 20-minute activities that give them a taste of what it’s like to work in a pharmacy. And we’re not talking about stacking shelves. No, Alpro is offering something much cooler—a compounding lab.

Yes, your little ones will get to mix up their own soothing gel, designed to calm eczema and minor burns. Under the guidance of professionals, they’ll learn the art and science behind creating this useful product. And the best part? They get to take their personalized gel home. It’s not just a keepsake; it’s a reminder of the fun they had learning something new.

Role-Playing with a Purpose

KidZania isn’t just about fun and games—though there’s plenty of that, too. The whole concept is built on the idea of “edutainment,” where education and entertainment blend seamlessly. Alpro Pharmacy’s new establishment fits right in, offering kids a way to develop critical thinking, creativity, and self-awareness. They’ll also learn valuable life skills like responsibility, integrity, and respect.

Ph. Lim En Ni, Engagement Director and Chief Pharmacist at Alpro, couldn’t have put it better: “Our expansion to KidZania aligns with our vision for a healthy and vibrant world. It’s essential to introduce children early to the crucial role pharmacists play, particularly in ensuring medication safety.” And what better way to do that than through role-play?

Supporting a Healthier Future

The timing of this launch is no coincidence. It’s part of Alpro’s broader initiative for World Pharmacist Day on 25 September, themed “Pharmacists: Meeting Global Health Needs.” The role of pharmacists is evolving, and they’re becoming increasingly important in the fight against chronic diseases like eczema and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

As Ph. Lim highlighted during the launch, Malaysia is on track to becoming an ageing nation by 2030. Pharmacists will be key players in this transition, helping manage the health needs of an older population. With over 300 outlets nationwide, Alpro is already a leader in community healthcare. But their presence in KidZania shows that they’re also thinking about the future—starting with the youngest members of society.

Ready to Become a Pharmacist?

Alpro Pharmacy at KidZania is now open, and it’s calling all aspiring pharmacists, aged six and up. The outlet is located on the Upper Floor in the wellness area, across from the hospital. It’s open from 10 am to 6 pm daily, so there’s plenty of time for your kids to jump into their new role.

No appointments, no consultation fees, just pure, unadulterated learning fun. So, if your child is ready to explore the world of medicine, or if you’re just looking for a unique way to spend a day, head over to KidZania Kuala Lumpur. Alpro Pharmacy is waiting.
