What's Zookazoo? ZooKazoo is an online environment of imaginary and adventurous destinations where children 6 through 12 can safely hang out, have fun, and even make their world a better place.
What Makes Zookazoo Safe? We want to do everything we can to prevent bullies or criminally irresponsible adults from interfering with your children’s experiences. We can do that best when you help us.
On our side we:
- Only allow registered users to play on the ZooKazoo site.
- Prohibit offensive language or unsavory topics.
- Provide a Menu Chat Only option for parents worried their children may divulge personal or family information.
- Make it impossible for anyone to use email to contact children within the site.
- Never allow private communications between two users within the site.
- Make it easy for children to report bullying or any inappropriate activity.
We ask your help to:
- Discuss ZooKazoo’s safety rules with your child and explain their importance.
- Log into your parent account and check periodically for any communication from us that your child has been bending the rules and then review the importance of good behavior in the site.
- Periodically review your child’s buddy list and ask who each person is.
- Periodically ask your child to give you a tour of ZooKazoo and enjoy sharing the fun your child has within the site.
Is Zookazoo worth my child’s time? Would you consider reading and writing, playing at art and music, gaining small motor and coordination skills, and solving puzzles through thought and memory time well spent?
Would you consider learning about cooperation and collaboration, practicing personal responsibility and fair play, building knowledge of, and compassion for, endangered animals, plants, and lands time well spent?
Or, how about learning to reach out to those in the U.S. or abroad who may be less fortunate or the victims of natural disasters?
These are the curriculums hidden behind all the fun in ZooKazoo. It’s all about healthy personal and social development — not in any heavy-handed way — but through plain and simple fun, challenge, and the joy of learning and helping others.
Why does it cost money? We want ZooKazoo to be a terrific place for children. By charging a minimal membership fee, we are able to keep the site completely free of advertisements and product placements (these are common means of income for other children’s sites). At the same time, we can maintain and constantly improve ZooKazoo and pay the artists, writers, game builders, and safety monitors who are working hard to provide great experiences for your child.

"I was in the kitchen trying to make dinner before my older daughter's concert, and my 7-year old was upstairs on the computer yelling "MOM, how do you spell…So I would run upstairs to help her spell things and then run back downstairs. Then I hear a frustrated yell upstairs so I go back up, and she is trying to type a sentence all by herself with words that she could spell, and by the time she would get the whole sentence typed, the little jaguar that she was writing to would be gone! She did this 3 different times and then she just screamed. It was pretty funny watching how serious she was. It was neat though because it caused her to try to spell on her own without my help. (She is just learning to read.) We had a blast!"
