Avocados From Mexico launched an [interactive cooking lab for kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchenaid-kids) at KidZania Dallas so that kids can roleplay in a realistic setting, learn about avocados and cook with them. The [Avocados From Mexico Superfood Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocados-from-mexico-1) offers an entertaining and educational experience for kids that teaches kids how avocados are grown, how they're picked and some of the many ways that they can be prepared.

The cooking lab includes a health and wellness station with an interactive game about the benefits of avocados, an education area for hands-on experience and a culinary experience centered around [making guacamole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guacline).

At the present time, the destination is opening at reduced capacity and kids are invited to role-play professions in small groups with mandatory face coverings and frequent hand sanitization.
