The company communication is excellent. I was regularly told of the progress of my order from the very start.
The magazine is delivered promptly and is interesting and fun.

A great company to deal with.

The issues are engaging and my grandson loves the stickers.
When renewing the subscription I experienced difficulties and when emailing the company help was not readily available. Conflicting emails created confusion. I gather all is sorted now .more by checking my bank than information from your company

I have given my grandaughter the gift of NG Kids for many years as her birthday present. She really enjoys reading them from cover to cover and over and over again. in fact my daughter now covers them and keeps them for to read forever! She remembers an immense amount of the facts detailed in the magazines and if ever in need to know something I always I ask her first!
Recently I renewed the subscription and confused everyone by using a different address. NG Kids au picked it up immediately and sorted it out, great customer service!

My grandson loves the Kids version. Would recommend

My grandson, 5, loved National Geographic Kids (NGK) and I renewed the subscription several times for him. Each magazine is well designed and presented clearly. The content is interactive and includes simple science experiments, hands-on activities, large text, bright colours and puzzles.
It meets NGK’s goal of supporting early development in literacy and numeracy as well as inspiring curiosity in nature and science, often read with a parent.
Would recommend. Look out for specific subscription rates around Christmas.

Terrible customer service

It would be easier to comment on the content if my nephew had ever received his bundle and subscription which I ordered 12/1 as a Xmas gift.
I understand there can be mix ups but what is really aggravating is that I have been searching for a way to contact someone about this for almost an hour and no where - not even in my order confirmation - is there any way to contact them. The order confirmation is from an unmonitored email. Is this a scam?

Hi Carol, I'm sorry you haven't been able to get in touch with the customer service team. It looks as though you are in the US and you have also mentioned ordering a bundle which is not something we offer from here, we publish Nat Geo Kids & Nat Geo Little Kids for the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand only. I think your order may therefore be with the US edition of Nat Geo Kids which is not published by ourselves. I emailed you yesterday but so far have not received a reply if you could please reply to my email or email help@ngkids.com.au with your full details and I will get a member of the correct team to get in touch with you. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks, Jade - Nat Geo Kids

The magazine is loaded with fantastic facts and general information about animals. I love all the amazing photographs. My favourite part of this magazine is completing the crossword with my family.

I purchased the magazine for my grandson

I purchased the magazine for my grandson and he absolutely loves it. I receive all the emails which I then have to forward to my son's email address. Although I have requested that the emails be sent to him, sadly this has not occurred.
Are you able to assist?

A treasure not to be missed

We have always keenly awaited the latest edition of National Geographic Kids arriving in our letterbox.
My children have outgrown the content now at ages 13 and 15 but for meant years the National Geographic Kids edition has prompted conversations about the World around us. Thank you National Geographic Kids for instilling a love and appreciation for the living world which will last a lifetime. We especially enjoyed the detailed and easy to read articles, the quizzes, the interviews and the much loved 'which animal are you' questionnaires. Thank you for the memories!

Very engaging & age appropriate!

My soon-to-be 5 year old is absolutely obsessed with the Nat Geo Little Kids Magazine! She first spotted them at our local library, and I thought it would make a great Christmas gift.
She has since received 3 editions and cannot complete the activities fast enough.
The magazines have all been engaging and very age appropriate! We will definitely be renewing later this year.

Informational Magazine 7-10 year olds

Fantastic, factual magazine, loads of information on many subjects. My grandchildren enjoy it.
It’s important children participate in paper traditional magazines as it’s better than a screen.
