My toddler twins adore the NG kids magazines!!

My three year old twins are so excited every time the postman arrives with a new magazine. They absolutely adore these. They are packed with activities, stickers, amazing photos and information. The twins love reading them over and over. The magazines are so educational and I feel the kids are learning so much about nature and wildlife and I hope the NG kids magazines will help them appreciate and respect the natural world as adults in the future.

Great magazine but lengthy shipping

The magazine itself is great. Ordered the subscription for our niece who loves them. The shipping to New Zealand was extremely lengthy and was not obvious it was going to take as long as it did when first ordered.

Hi Kym. Thank you for your email. We are glad to hear the magazine is enjoyed! To advise, the expected delivery date based on order date is displayed in multiple places across the site prior to an order being placed, and we also offer the option to purchase the 'current issue' that will be received within 14 working days of the order being placed - the reason we are able to offer this is because although new issues are shipped over to New Zealand from Australia, the current issues are already stored in New Zealand, and so have a quicker dispatch time. If we can assist any further, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Many thanks, Rebecca, NG KiDS.

I tried to DIY a problem I has created…

I tried to DIY a problem I has created at purchase ( Last Christmas). Instead I made the situation worse and it could have interrupted or ceased delivery of the 12 month gift subscriptions to 2 groups of grandkids. 4 kids in all. They have not only loved these magazines (we all do) but it is a thrill for them to receive it addressed to them in good old postie delivered ‘snail mail’. When I sent out an SOS via email, Rebecca had it sorted within a couple of days, so prompt👏. I will not DIY again as this is the gift that gives on giving….thank you all for your amazing work in creating, delivering and sorting out problems…🙏💜kind regards, Gillian S

Excellent Customer Service

I buy National Kids Geographic for my granddaughter who is in New Zealand. It's a great thing to do for a nature loving child who is so far away.
I have had excellent customer service from the magazine staff. I always get a prompt reply to my emails and it's great to deal with an actual person.

Early childhood experiences

I bought it for my 3 Y/old grandchild and she really loves the stories and activities. It is an activity her parents, future siblings and grandparents can all be involved in with her. It will broaden her horizons for the future and hopefully she will become a thoughtful and aware adult re the world, animals, environments the connections and interactions between them. Never to early to start. She lives in the country and has access to some of these environments and animals on a daily basis and can now learn about them more intimately.
