Great for all kids, favorite of boys
All of my (4) children use Webosaurs, but my boys like it best. They've learned a lot of random dino facts from it, and the oldest really likes chatting with his pals. The youngest just likes the landscapes and the games.

My kids are 5 and 7. They love the games. Maybe later they would be interested in getting more involved chatting with other players, but right now it's all about getting coins and buy items. While older kids might get more out of it, Webosaurs is still very enjoyable for younger kids.

Great for all kids + Teenagers.
I'm 13.. and I love this game. I've played for over a year now and I must say, this is the best virtual world ever. The paid subscription is worth it, and I love the way the staff interacts with us, and helps players out. 10/5 stars!

Great safe website, and lots of fun!
My kids saw an ad for this game in a kids magazine at the dentist, and I was worried at first because they can chat with other players. But I sat with them while they played the first week, and I was won over big time. The kids who play this game are friendly and polite. They had a contest one day, and they all cheer each other on! Really positive place.

Dinosaur fun for kids
Fun, engaging site for dino-loving kids, especially boys. They get to dress their dino avatars in different kinds of armor, play games (both solo and multi player), chat with other players, and participate in weekly contests. The moderators actively interact with the players, helping them get started, leading game-playing missions, and enforcing the rules.
