At Thames & Kosmos, our goal is to provide fun, wholesome, educational experiences for kids and families of all shapes and sizes!
For over 200 years, our global family of companies has been refining the process of developing creative and innovative ways to inspire children—and adults!—to discover their world, ask questions, and try things for themselves, all with the goal of transforming that curiosity into knowledge.
How did we get our start?
Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 when a Rhode Island science museum director and her son partnered with a 200-year-old German publishing house to fulfill the great need for science education materials that were more stimulating, effective, relevant—and of course, fun!
How do we support our products?
Our full-time team of in-house product experts is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. End users should not hesitate to reach out to speak to an actual person should they need help with an experiment, missing part, or anything else!
