Customer Reviews

National Geographic, you should be ashamed!
We had the Little Kid version of National Geographic and it was really good, filled with games, articles, and no ads. Then we were gifted this version for older kids.

It is an absolute WASTE of money. And completely unreadable. I guess that 80% or more is ads for junk movies, video games, etc. The rest of it is boring, uneducational, and basically trash.

I can’t believe an amazing adult magazine like National Geographic would put their name to this trash. If you let your kids read this garbage they will be watching Showbiz Tonight rather than reading National Geographic as adults. Yes, it is really that bad.

Shame on you National Geographic.

Disappointing from National Geographic
To say I expected more from National Geographic is an understatement. The magazine was a terrible waste of money–unless you want a Build-A-Bear coupon every month. Otherwise, there really is nothing of any value in this magazine, which is unfortunate as National Geographic typically does such an amazing job with their magazines, television programs, etc. We’re switching to Ranger Rick and expect a much better product which will actually be a learning tool instead of a bunch of ads and joke pages that have nothing to do with animals.

Seriously a disappointing magazine. Don’t waste your money!

Great stuff for kids and their grandparents!
I picked up this magazine for my 10 year old grandson in the airport and read it on the plane - wonderful fun! I decided I’d order it for him and came online to find all these 1 star-reviews! My copy is full of information and fun facts - I see only 4 ads in the April issue - all tastefully done and promoting recyling, fruit snacks, books and a new kids’ movie. This is a great publication that might encourage kids to read and think as an alternative to video games on the computer. Check it out.
