Adventure Academy Discount: Annual Subscription Deal!

Published: by Meagan on June 10, 2023 | This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Do you have elementary or middle school aged kids who love online gaming? Be sure to check out this HOT Adventure Academy discount on an annual subscription that new customers can score!

Psst! You can also get an ABCmouse discount as a new customer! And don’t miss this BIG list of free educational programs available for kids right now.

Adventure Academy Annual Subscription Discount

New customers can get an annual subscription to Adventure Academy for just $45 — which is like paying just $3.75 per month! And this price covers up to 3 children per household. (Plus, you’ll lock in the $45 annual price after your first year until you decide to cancel!)

This is regularly priced over $150, so this is a HUGE savings of over 60%! It’s like getting eight months for FREE at the regular price.

What is Adventure Academy?

Adventure Academy is an MMO game created specifically for kids in elementary and middle school. It features thousands of enjoyable learning activities that kids can discover on quests through an interactive virtual world.

Developed by top video gaming designers and crafted by a team of curriculum experts, Adventure Academy is a highly engaging and creative platform that focuses on building critical knowledge and skills in language arts, math, social studies, science, and more!

Adventure Academy features thousands of educational learning activities, such as videos, reading experiences, games, quizzes, and many other interactive elements— all covering core curriculum subjects.

I checked it out and it plays a lot like an adventure game (think Zelda!) but within an educational framework. It’s really cool!

Or Try It For Free!

If you’re not quite ready to commit to a full year, you can instead sign up for a FREE Adventure Academy 30-day trial.

After your trial, you’ll automatically be billed $12.99 per month until you cancel. If you find it’s not a good fit for your child during the trial, just be sure to cancel before your trial is up to avoid being charged.

If you’re looking for the best Adventure Academy discount, though, the annual subscription deal is the way to go!

Go here to get this great price on an annual subscription.
