I am absolutely amazed by The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks, a fun, highly educational, safe online adventure for tweens aged 7 to 14. The virtual world is huge and allows players to travel around the world, through time and space, meet famous historical people, play dozens of fun enriching games, make new friends, buy, build, wear, explore, solve and become a legendary traveler. That is a lot of activity for one website.

The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks is based on story book series so the adaptation offers a rich storyline and engaging characters. Players are compelled to read and understand the missions and not just plunge right in. This is probably the largest virtual world for kids in terms of size, graphics and features. Over 100 different locations, more than 50 games and many historical people, animals, plants, inventions, architectures and countries are included. Check out a preview of the virtual world below:
