Love the boxes

Love the boxes - super fun, engaging activities for kids and grown up. They do require commitment to do the activities but they are really interesting.

Our kids are now teens and in the "avoid family" stage, we may come back to the boxes later if they show renewed interest in them.

Wonderfully thought provoking box of goodies

These items inspire and challenge, help you see the world from a new perspective. I like to take a box with me on vacations and trips. It makes a good conversation piece. Every box has new and exciting things. Good quality items too. Most things can be used every day as well.

An amazing surprise everytime!

I love opening my curiosity box when it comes. It's always something very unique and I never know what's coming. (They do have videos on their site about whats coming, I prefer the mystery). It's a lot of fun to learn about the items and why they were chosen to be a part of the experience. It's a great way to learn about something new and they make for great conversation pieces!

The only subscription box that feels worth the price

I've tried various subscription boxes over the years and they've all been fun to a degree, but I've never felt like the items were quality and something I would want to keep for years. Curiosity Box is the first time it feels like every item was meticulously thought about and care was given to make sure you're getting your money's worth. Every item from the big to the small, feels like a quality and purpose-made product. The purpose being to engage your curiosity about the universe around you, in a fun and interactive way. This isn't a cash grab like so many subscription boxes feel like. They also seem to really take the feedback to heart and I've noticed the quality of everything going higher over time. If you like Vsauce, this feels like Michael making the subscription box he would want to buy.

The BEST subscription box for science enthusiasts…

The BEST subscription box for science enthusiasts. Each box contains high-quality goodies that are bound to provoke your inquisitive mind. Whether it’s a seemingly practical item that you wish had come into your life sooner, or a new conversation piece for your coffee table, you will never be disappointed by the contents of your Curiosity Box. I’ve had only positive and helpful interactions with customer service and my boxes always arrived in great condition. It is well worth the price especially because of how evident the thought, effort, and care are put into each order.

Curiosity Box has been amazing!

Curiosity Box has been amazing as my son was growing up and he always looked forward to the next one. He's now 19 and grown. I'm a disabled vet and the cost is getting to be a bit too much for me. Thank you for the many years of boxes a science fun you've provided!"

Hey Alex - Sometimes during checkout the site will recalculate taxes based on your delivery location and multiple pending charges will show up, but ultimately only one will actually be charged to your account. Our team was able to speak with you and explain the situation but if you have any questions left, you can reply to the same email. We're looking forward to you receiving your first box!

Best gifts for the curious!

I bought a subscription to Curiosity Box for my son who's 14, and for the past year and a half he's received a vast array of knowledge that has sparked so much interest in him. He loves the books that are included and have even used them for book reports for school.
I truly appreciate what the Curiosity Box does to open up a world of wonder and thought. Thank You So Much!!!!

Got a year’s subscription for my younger brother (he’s 16). Even as a teen he loves them. He waits for each delivery and enjoys every project he gets. My only problem is the price. I just can’t afford to keep paying for this subscription while making minimum wage. Hopefully others see the real reward in a gift like this!
