Real families
Parents keep telling us the same thing
Over 200,000 boxes delivered, and the notes we love most are about the moment the box opens.
"Our first box came! She loved it and asked to sleep with it tonight. We read the book and looked at all the cool activities we can do."
"We just got our first zoo box and my kiddos loved learning about pandas! I did too!! So excited to get more!!"
"This is the perfect thing to get my son excited about learning again. This lit up his joy for learning and creating!"
"The pangolin box was our first ZooBox and I was highly impressed. My daughter would tell everyone about the pangolin's tongue and that it eats bugs. We had an awesome day of learning!"
"My husband and I love doing the activities with our daughter. It helps her with her creativity."
"We joined for her 4th birthday. It's been an incredible journey, and she's loved every box over 60 months."
"We are loving our first zoo box. We even checked out more books from the library about pangolins!"
"My daughter has kept all of the animal posters in a notebook. The stuffed animals are still well-played with. I will continue to recommend Zoo Boxes – an excellent program."

Questions parents ask us
The four we get asked most.
Which club is right for my child?
If your child is not reading yet or is still working on letters, start with Cub Club, built for ages 3 to 5. If they are reading, Zoologist Club goes deeper into science and anatomy for ages 5 to 12. Newer reader in that range? Add the Easy Reader to any Zoologist plan.
How do I cancel or pause?
Monthly plans can be skipped or canceled anytime. Commitment Clubs, meaning our quarterly and annual plans, run their full term, but you can turn off auto-renewal whenever you like and the club simply ends after its last box.
To cancel:
- Log in to your account
- Click Manage Subscriptions
- Open the Subscriptions tab
- Select the subscription you want to manage
- Scroll to the bottom and click Cancel Subscription
- Go through the confirmation process
To pause, or to switch to every other month, email support@myzoobox.com and the team will set it up.
What if I have more than one child?
Add a Sibling Pack to any plan. It ships inside the same box with an extra stuffed animal friend, craft, sticker, and surprise, so nobody has to share and you are not paying for a second subscription.
How much is shipping?
Free on every club box within the United States. Always.
