Our Kickstarter was funded! Continue supporting the Virtual Worlds Museum™ through our Sponsor Page.
KidsCom was a virtual world geared toward kids ages 8–14. KidsCom had many "worlds" (virtual places) that the user can go to in order to have fun with an avatar. It was a website for a long time dealing with new competition such as Webkinz. KidsCom was published by the now defunct Circle 1 Network, LLC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was first launched in 1995 as a site for kids.
KidsCom was one of the earliest children’s virtual worlds, shaping early standards for online safety, moderated chat, and educational play. It influenced later kid‑focused platforms by demonstrating the importance of structured, safe social environments. Its eco‑themed missions and activities helped normalize educational messaging within virtual worlds. KidsCom contributed to the foundation of COPPA‑era design norms.
