Well, ZooKazoo was good before the chat filters got the bad words and sexual messages, so I don't play it anymore

What Parents Need to Know
About ZooKazoo
Parents need to know that while this site bills itself as a place for kids ages 6 to 12 to "hang out, have fun, and even make their world a better place," "hanging out" is really the main activity. Kids select an avatar (representing themselves as an animal or something such as a cell phone, blender, or even a roll of toilet paper), and then use an easy-to-navigate map to explore virtual areas where they can play games and chat (and more, if parents pay for a premium membership). A few of the Zoo Tube movies in the theater are as close to educational as anything you'll find here, and they're less than a minute long. Many kids on the younger side of the age group are probably going to find this site too laborious, and many 12-year-olds will likely think it's too simplistic.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what kids really want from this site: Knowledge? Or contact with other kids? Do kids have to be learning something all the time? When is fun just for fun, and when is fun a time waster? Is it fun for your child to scoot around from room to room in a virtual world, waiting for strangers to say something? Why or why not?

Not so "kid friendly"
Zookazoo was fun until people started cussing, dating, and even doing drugs! Zookazoo isn't safe! What they call "kid friendly" I call BIG MISTAKE!
