The 20 most-visited kids' websites, measured
The 20 websites built for kids that families visit most in 2026, ranked by September visits from Semrush and Similarweb, with what each one is.
The website kids open most is Roblox, and most of the rest of the top 20 are game portals or classroom games. Most "best kids websites" lists name the old content sites, like PBS Kids, Starfall and ABCya. Measured by visits, those sites are small. Here are the 20 kids' websites that get the most visits, from Semrush's public traffic pages and Similarweb's, for September 2026, and what each one is.
How we measured it
- Visits in September 2026, from Semrush's public pages, and from Similarweb's where Semrush has no page. The two tools agree within about a quarter for most sites and disagree more for a few. So the order is more reliable than the exact numbers.
- Websites only. Kids spend most of their time in apps, so a site with a large app is counted low here. YouTube Kids and Roblox are the clearest cases.
- Built for children, or mostly used by them. Teen and adult study sites, brand shops and school login portals are left out, even when kids visit them.
- September is back-to-school. Classroom sites are at their busiest, so a July ranking would move them down a few places.
The top 20
| # | Site | What it is | Visits, Sept 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | roblox.com | The launcher and account page for the game kids play most. Most of the time is in the app. | 737M |
| 2 | poki.com | Free browser games you can start in one tap | 178M |
| 3 | crazygames.com | Browser games, a little older in feel than Poki | 120M |
| 4 | kahoot.it | The player side of classroom quizzes: a teacher hosts, kids type a game PIN | 59M |
| 5 | blooket.com | Classroom quiz games on each child's own device | 31M |
| 6 | wordwall.net | Teacher-made matching, quiz and wheel activities | 31M |
| 7 | khanacademy.org | Lessons and practice, K–12 and up | 31M |
| 8 | youtubekids.com | The web face of the YouTube Kids app (Similarweb) | 26M |
| 9 | scratch.mit.edu | Block coding, making and sharing projects, ages 8–16 | 24M |
| 10 | ixl.com | Skill practice for K–12, mostly bought by schools | 23M |
| 11 | typing.com | Typing lessons and games | 20.5M |
| 12 | playhop.com | Browser game portal | 15.2M |
| 13 | coolmathgames.com | Puzzle and logic games, often used at school | 10M |
| 14 | friv.com | Browser game portal, most visits from Brazil | 9.9M |
| 15 | gimkit.com | Classroom quiz games | 8.7M |
| 16 | typingclub.com | Typing lessons | 7.5M |
| 17 | pbskids.org | Shows, games and reading for the youngest (Similarweb) | 7.1M |
| 18 | y8.com | Browser game portal | 6.9M |
| 19 | prodigygame.com | A maths game with a quest. The app carries most of the play. | 4.6M |
| 20 | code.org | Coding lessons, with a spike every December for Hour of Code | 3.6M |
Prodigy ranks 19th on Semrush's number. Similarweb puts it at 10.4M, which would move it into the teens. That is the kind of gap these two tools have, so read the order as roughly right.
Three kinds of kids' website
Game portals. Roblox, Poki, CrazyGames, Playhop, Friv, Y8 and Cool Math Games are places to pick a game and play it. Nothing to sign up for, and hundreds of games in one place. Poki is the one kids search for by name most often, according to a 2025 Kaspersky report.
Classroom games and practice. Kahoot, Blooket, Wordwall, Gimkit, IXL, Khan Academy, Typing.com, TypingClub and Prodigy are the kind of site a teacher sends a child to. A teacher often sends a child there. In September, when school starts, their visits climb.
Making and watching. Scratch, YouTube Kids, PBS Kids and Code.org ask a child to make something, watch something or learn to code.
What the numbers say
The stickiest sites are the ones kids type in. Roblox gets 89% of its visits from typed-in addresses or bookmarks, Scratch 67%, Blooket 58%, Kahoot 52% and Poki 48%. The content sites mostly rely on Google, and kids leave them quickly. Nat Geo Kids, outside the top 20, has a 61% bounce rate and about two minutes a visit.
The old names are small. PBS Kids, Cool Math Games, Starfall, Nat Geo Kids, Funbrain, ABCya and Disney's kids' site together get about 24 million visits in a month. Blooket alone gets 31 million. Kids' TV brands have mostly moved to apps. Nick.com and Disney's kids' site each get under a million visits.
Most of a child's time is in apps, not websites. Qustodio's 2025 report, which covers 400,000 families who use its filter, found that US kids spend over two and a half hours a day in the Roblox desktop app and about 86 minutes a day on YouTube. The website numbers above are only part of the picture.
An AI chatbot is now among the most-opened sites. In the same report, chatgpt.com rose from 18th to 5th among the sites kids open most, in one year. Almost one in three kids used the ChatGPT app, up from about one in eleven the year before.
What a parent can do with this
- Look at what your child uses most, not the list. Ask which game or site they open first, and whether it's a game portal, a school site or an app.
- Bookmark the sites your child uses at home. Kids who type an address in directly tend to go to the same few places, so you know where to look.
- Check the time, not just the site. The top sites hold a child for 7 to 16 minutes a visit. Ask what they did in that time.
Peabody is a reading and learning app with games and a library of stories. Its games are free through the end of 2026, with no sign-up. It isn't on these lists, and this ranking doesn't measure it.
