In 2001, it won a Webby Award for best youth site. In 2003, it was on the annual list of the Best Free Reference Web Sites by the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) of the American Library Association (ALA) to recognize outstanding reference sites on the World Wide Web. Lev Grossman wrote for Time in 2001 a positive review ending with, "It's so cool that kids will forget it's educational." In 2016, Michelle Breckon from Kent State University Libraries wrote in Reference Reviews a recommendation for being "visually appealing" and having a variety for "kids of all ages"; but its navigation can be difficult, lacks citations, and the simple games may be a distraction.
